PRE-ORDER: Explore the hilarious frontiers of mind and body with James Kochalka in Jimmy's Elbow!
Jimmy has an elbow! Do you have one, too? Well, what if it could talk? Award-winning graphic novelist James Kochalka explores surreal frontiers of the body and mind in this psychedelic comedy for all ages.
Jimmy's Elbow by James Kochalka “Notably surreal... Readers primed for nothing but laffs may be in for a surprise, as the author folds quick takes on ‘silly’ vs. ‘serious’—not to mention life, death, spiritual apotheosis, and what it means to be ‘made in America’—into the manic proceedings. [Jimmy’s Elbow] hits smack on the funny bone.” — Kirkus Reviews |
PRE-ORDER: Two troubled teens are pulled into new emotional orbits in... Space Junk!
In the shattered remnants of a doomed planet, the last shuttles are leaving soon… So why do these misfits want to stay behind? Top Shelf fave Julian Hanshaw (Tim Ginger, Cloud Hotel, Free Pass) returns with another quirky and profound sci-fi parable.
Space Junk by Julian Hanshaw “These are broken people in a broken world... but so are we. The tenderness that Julian Hanshaw finds for his characters will touch you as deeply as his dystopian sci-fi visuals will haunt your dreams.” — Moby “An accumulation of fiery indignities and small moments of beauty brings the dreamlike narrative to an explosive climax and a conclusion that’s both optimistic and satisfying.” — Publishers Weekly |
