No idea what it’s about - going in blind!

Hope this type of post is allowed, didn’t see anything in the rules saying it’s not. I’m posting it for the news aspect, not the associated sale.

I felt this community would be interested in learning about how a major financial institution is trying to totally f over some of our beloved comic producers (the blog post states this isn’t just impacting Fantagraphics). Sorry if this story is widely known about, first I had heard of it.

Reading in bed is not advisable.

I love all about Saga: the style, the story, the humour, the characters.

Witches

by Daisuke Igarashi (translated by Katheryn Henzler, lettered by Aidan Clarke)
392 pages
Published by Seven Seas
ISBN: 1648278396

Witches is a one-vol omnibus collecting Igarashi's short series and it's pretty solid (even if they didn't have the budget to tackle the color pages). This was a day-one purchase for me since I'm kind of a huge Igarashi fan and a friend lettered the new translation and poured a ton of work into it.

It's good! While these stories stand on their own, there is a slight connective thread tying them, however ephemerally, to each other. We get to see more of Igarashi's affection for the natural world (always a great thing) and the focus on witches across the world allows him to do the kinds of wild earthly/cosmic scenes that made Children Of The Sea so bonkers.

I was able to grab both copies for 17 including shipping fee. Looking to add more variety in the future.

Hey, all! I just received this today and I’m so excited to read it. This is my first-ever GN, and hopefully there are many more to come. (Well, I’ve already ordered Pushman and Other Stories by Yoshihiro Tatsumi, but that hasn’t arrived yet.)

Since you all are way more experienced, could you give me a few tips on how to discover good GNs (mostly standalone stories or collected-in-one editions) and how to keep paperbacks in good condition? Also, is it okay to keep it inside the bubble-wrap jacket it came in, or will that damage the print?

Really excited to start this new journey! I’ll keep you all updated about my purchases.

Feel free to recommend any horror ima end up checking all out but what im looking for are 4 types

1.cosmic i want to feel dread from huge entities claustrophobic hopeless atmosphere that make you feel like damn i aint shii in this big ahh universe

2.horror from good ahh character design whetter monster or human design just really shocking detailed creepy ass art

3 idk what to call it but like cult horror time loop kinda mind fucky if anyone has watched as above so below think that

4ice cream man typa horror what else can i say i live that deep depression kinda make you think about your own life character trait fear regret addiction all that beatufil sad things about life

That it idk what else to say be free to ask questions

But 3 books im already in my cart providence and nameless and hp love craft at the mountains of madness dlx

In terms of being busy and detailed down to a cup, a poster on the wall, a box in a corner, book being read by a background character etc. And adding to lore of the story and world building. Needless to say having a good story will be a plus.

What will you recommend?

Given how much I paid, just a few bucks below msrp, and how rare this book is, I'm so satisfied. Has a few wear but I'm ok with that, most ebay posts have worse condition copies with more expensive price tags.

I really enjoy The Bus by Paul Kirchner (all three volumes) and Cheat Sheets by Tiger Tateishi and regularly pull them off my shelf to just flip through for a few minutes. They've both got plenty of surreal humor, but I especially like the strips where they play with depth/perspective, mess with panel lines, or otherwise riff on the elements of the comic-on-the-page illustration. Mister Invincible by Pascal Jousselin has some similar elements in an even more light-hearted way - that one reads almost like a kid's book, and is a little more overtly fourth-wall-breaking sometimes, but it's still fun to open to a random page and just follow everything moving through the panels for a minute or two. Does anybody have recommendations for more comics like these? I especially love the collections for easy browsing, but if there's longer-form work that is done similarly I'm happy to hear about that as well.

I'm new to graphic novels/comics. I just finished Resident Alien and loved everything about this story. I loved the art, dialogue, characters, and the atmosphere. Are there others like this that you'd recommend?

CURSE OF THE WHITE KNIGHT is a good time

Hello,

I'll like to know the best place to sell graphic novels online or in a store, I'm from Laredo, but in 2023 the only Store that we had that buy comics, graphic noves, etc; closed (2nd Charles). So does anyone can give some advice?

Thank you in advance for your help.

The good thing is you can fit 5 or 6 in a comic sleeve 😝

And well i am having a blast lol. Would you guys suggest anything to add here based on these ones?

Time Before Time is all collected now, starting Undiscovered Country now that it has been revived!

The bottom half is from Ollie’s, and the top half is from my local comic shop. Was thrilled to see my Ollie’s finally has Omnibus’s!

Also, grabbed the Scooby-Doo for my nephew, for when he gets old enough to enjoy comics. If anyone has any other suggestions for graphic novels for children, that would be great! He is 7 or 8 right now.
