WALRUS GN

(W/A) Brandon Graham

Beloved for his graffiti-inflected science fiction comics, Brandon Graham has developed a punning, humorous and sexy universe of machines, logos, women, and bumbling men, all cast in an alternate Sci-Fi universe. Walrus, Graham's first art book, collects drawings and sketchbook comics spanning 2009-2012, and allows readers a glimpse into his creative process and obsessions. Here we glimpse everything from the puttering pace of domestic life to high energy drawing riffs to homages to cult comic book characters.

Yes, yes, we are hype whores for Brandon Graham...but can you really blame us?

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S STAR WARS HC

(W) Ian Doescher (A) Nicolas Delort

 Full of feuding royalty, family melodrama, comical fools, and fantastic creatures, Star Wars has always been the most Shakespearean of Hollywood blockbusters. Now it's presented in a manner that Shakespeare himself would recognize - with classic iambic pentameter and Elizabethan-style stage directions. Fans will love the Star Wars jokes and Shakespearean flourishes (R2-D2 launches into dramatic soliloquies whenever the other characters leave the stage). Text will be accompanied by fantastic Elizabethan woodcut illustrations of Chewbacca, C-3PO, and more.

STAR.jpg

Springing from the confluence of reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in the same summer as attending the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Ian Doescher presents the mashup you never knew you wanted, William Shakespeare's Star Wars. Portland-based Doesher has brought upon this world a retelling of the greatest epic of the modern world as may have been presented by the greatest poet of the Old World. -
