Garden
by Yuichi Yokoyama
Japanese comic artist Yokoyama is one of the most original cartoonists working today. This is the story of a strange garden of odd shapes and mechanisms. It's sort of like an alternative/indie, architectural manga art comic.

An anthology of queer comics talent to keep an eye out for, including Edie Fake, Harmony Bianca, Jackie Davis and more!
Jew Gangster
by Joe Kubert
Comics master Kubert tells this Depression-era, coming of age story about a boy caught between the Jewish and Italian mobs.
Rigor Mortis #4
by various
The beloved zombie zine returns with a new issue loaded with even more ghoulish illustrations.
Seduction Of The Innocent
by various
This hardcover collects illustrations of pretty girls reading comics. Featuring work by Jeffrey Brown, Ivan Brunetti, Dylan Horrocks, Danny Hellman, Sam Henderson, Peter Kuper, Johnny Ryan, Richard Sala, and more!
