"Meet Charlie Chan Hock Chye, the greatest comic book artist you've
probably never heard of. When he started making comics in Singapore as a
boy of 16 in 1954, Chan expected fame and fortune to quickly follow. But
just as Singapore's road to independence would be full of twists and turns,
so too would Chan's own journey as an artist. Splicing together a dizzying
array of art styles, genres and forms, Sonny Liew's multilayered graphic
novel is a celebration of life, comics and storytelling.
The Art Of Charlie Chan Hock Chye is a witty and innovative work
that challenges the possibilities of the comics medium, creating a
double-edged history, pulsing with the tensions and wonders of lived
experience, its friendships, first loves and heartaches."
"Meet Punpun Punyama. He’s an average kid in an average town.
He wants to win a Nobel Prize and save the world.

"Tsukimi Kurashita has a strange fascination with jellyfish. She’s
loved them from a young age and has carried that love with her to her new
life in the big city of Tokyo. There, she resides in Amamizukan, a
safe-haven for girl geeks who regularly gush over a range of things from
trains to Japanese dolls. However, a chance meeting at a pet shop has
Tsukimi crossing paths with one of the things that the residents of
Amamizukan have been desperately trying to avoid - a beautiful and
fashionable woman! But there’s much more to this woman than her trendy
clothes! This odd encounter is only the beginning of a new and unexpected
path for Tsukimi and her friends. "

"Amy and Jordan are just like us: hoping for the best, even when things go from bad to worse. They are menaced by bears, beheaded by ghosts, and hunted by the cops, but still they struggle on, bickering and reconciling, scraping together the rent and trying to find a decent movie. It’s the perfect solace for anxious modern minds, courtesy of one of the great innovators of American comics. Now if only Amy’s skin would grow back ..."
"In the late ’60s, underground comix changed the way comics readers
saw the medium — but there was an important pronoun missing from the
revolution. In 1972, ten women cartoonists got together in San Francisco to
rectify the situation and produce the first and longest-lasting all-woman
comics anthology, Wimmen’s Comix. Within two years the
Wimmen’s Comix Collective had introduced cartoonists like
Roberta Gregory and Melinda Gebbie to the comics-reading public, and would
go on to publish some of the most talented women cartoonists in America —
Carol Tyler, Mary Fleener, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Dori Seda, Phoebe
Gloeckner, and many others. In its twenty-year run, the women of
Wimmen’s tackled subjects the guys wouldn’t touch with a
ten-foot pole: abortion, menstruation, masturbation, castration, lesbians,
witches, murderesses, and feminists.
Most issues of Wimmen’s Comix have been long out of print, so
it’s about time these pioneering cartoonists’ work received their due.
Presented as a gorgeous two-volume slipcased set, The Complete
Wimmen’s Comix includes the ground-breaking 1970 one-shot, It
Ain’t Me, Babe, the very first all-woman comic book ever
published.
Edited with an introduction by Trina Robbins. "
