"Ted Rall's Trump opens with
a discussion of the authoritarian impulse. Drawing a historical parallel
between the rise of Mussolini and Hitler and the aftermath of the 2008-2009
economic crisis in America, Rall considers Trump to be "a bit of an
accidental authoritarian, perhaps even an accidental proto-fascist. So
where did this man come from?" Trump's life story is told, going all
the way back to his origins growing up a rich kid in the NY suburbs. Rall
shows how Trump taps into a longing among many Americans for a strongman.
He doesn't make many promises; his supporters don't expect many. He'll Make
America Great Again. Somehow. Trust me, he says. And they do."

"Dame Darcy is one of the sui generis artistic talents of the past two
decades - musician, actress, fortune teller, dollmaker, Gen X/feminist
icon, and last but not least, cartoonist to the core - and has been
bewitching readers for more than 20 years with her neo-Victorian
horror/humor/romance comic Meat
Cake. Alternating between one-off (often cruelly tragic) fairy tales
and ongoing romps starring her eclectic cast of characters, including
Effluvia the Mermaid, the roguish Rou. Wax Wolf, Igpay the Pig-Latin pig,
Stregapez (a woman who speaks by dispensing Pez-like tablets through a
bloody hole in her throat), the mischievous Siamese twins Hindrance and
Perfidia, Scampi the Selfish Shellfish, the stalwart Friend the Girl, and
the blonde bombshell Richard Dirt, all delineated in her inimitable
luxurious scrawl, Meat Cake is
like a peek into the most creative, deranged dollhouse you ever saw. The Meat Cake Bible is the definitive
collection of the series, collecting every story from all 17 issues
(1993-2008) - including Hungry is the
Heart, Darcy’s legendary collaboration with Alan Moore - as
well as new stories from the unpublished 18th issue. A gorgeous, unjacketed
hardcover edition replete with cloth deboss, gold foil stamping, and a
die-cut cover."

"The first English translation of the entire Adventures of Dieter
Lumpen series, the most famous work of the Angoulême award-winning
team of Jorge Zentner and Rubén Pellejero!
Dieter Lumpen is a man of the world, an adventurer who wants no part of
adventure. Nonetheless, he is swept along to exotic locations from Turkey
to the Caribbean, from China to Venice. He is not quite so hard-boiled as
the typical adventure hero. As written by Zentner, Dieter’s irony is
gentler, more subtle, more reflective, and more tongue-in-cheek than hard
or bitter. Pellejero is quite simply one of Europe’s top comics artists,
who was chosen for the plum job to illustrate the new adventures of Hugo
Pratt’s Corto Maltese. Dieter Lumpen began in 1981 and continued
until 1994.
This definitive omnibus collects all eight short stories and the three
graphic novels with a foreword by Tim Sale."

"Tony Millionaire’s Maakies is one of the longest-running and most decorated
weekly comic strips in America, garnering multiple Harvey and Eisner
Awards since it debuted in 1994.
Drinky Crow Drinks Again collects over 200 Maakies strips
from the past half-decade for the very first time! Featuring the comical
high-seas adventures of a booze-soaked corvid (they don’t call him
“Drinky” Crow for nothin’) and his equally-soused simian
pal (Uncle Gabby), Maakies blends
vaudevillestyle humor and a breathtaking line that hearkens back to the
glory days of the American comic strip. Maakies suggests a contemporary collaboration between E.C.
Segar, creator of Popeye, and
seafaring novelist Patrick O’Brian (Master and Commander). Millionaire has won multiple Harvey and Eisner Awards and
is also the creator of the popular
Sock Monkey and Billy Hazelnuts books."

"Our story opens in Bay City in 1931 in the midst of the Great
Depression. Big Sam sees himself as a righteous, truth-seeking patriot,
defending the American way, as his Irish immigrant father would have
wanted, against a rising tide of left-wing unionism, strikes, and
disruption that plague his home town. At the same time he makes monthly,
secret overnight trips on behalf of Cousin Joseph, a mysterious man on the
phone he has never laid eyes on, to pay off Hollywood producers to ensure
that they will film only upbeat films that idealize a mythic America: no
warts, no injustice uncorrected, only happy endings.
But Sam, himself,
is not in for a happy ending, as step by step the secret of his unseen
mentor's duplicity is revealed to him. Fast-moving action, violence, and
murder in the noir style of pulps and forties films are melded in the
satiric, sociopolitical Feifferian style to dig up the buried fearmongering
of the past and expose how closely it matches the headlines, happenings,
and violence of today.
With Cousin
Joseph, Feiffer builds on his late-life conversion to cinematic
noir, bowing, as ever, to youthful heroes Will Eisner and Milton Caniff,
but ultimately creating a masterpiece that through his unique perspective
and comic-strip noir style illuminates the very origins of Hollywood and
its role in creating the bipolar nation we've become."

"The Incantations of Daniel Johnston
is a spirited, eye-popping collaborationg between New York Times-bestselling Spanish
artist Ricardo Cavolo and award-winning author Scott McClanahan.
Long
a fan of Daniel Johnston, the man and his music, Cavolo illustrates
Johnston's colorful life, from his humble beginnings as a carnival employee
to folk musician in Austin, to his rise to MTV popularity and persistent struggle with personal
demons.
In addition to being visually very striking, with astoundingly
economical prose McClanahan manages to deal with powerful and complex
issues, such as how we as a society mythologize troubled artists, while
continuing his ongoing exploration of human
relationships, and the
pliable interaction between reader and writer."

A LIFE IN MANGA AND ANIME
"This graphic-format biography of Osamu Tezuka - Japan's
"God of Manga" - looks at one of the twentieth century's great
creative artists (Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Black Jack). It is also an anecdotal
study of the evolution of Japan's early manga and anime business and its
heroes. A never-before-seen popular culture history of postwar Japan, it is
sure to fascinate fans and anyone interested in manga, anime, and the
potential of the graphic storytelling medium.
Toshio Ban joined Tezuka Productions in 1974 as one of
Tezuka's assistants. After working for a period as a free-lancer, he later
re-joined Tezuka Productions in
1978 as the sub-chief of manga production for magazines, supporting
Tezuka's creative work until the end.
Tezuka Productions Co., Ltd., is the now-legendary company
founded by Osamu Tezuka in 1968 to produce his own manga and anime. In the
wake of Tezuka's death in 1989, it has continued as a family enterprise,
responsible for the development, production, merchandising, licensing, and
distribution of his many manga and anime creations, including books, films,
and characters."
