First off - Tintin in the Congo English facsimile edition. Little Brown, which publishes the English language Tintin books won't print this book due to the way African people are depicted in it. As a result, up to now, we have only had the French edition in stock. Now, after a hiatus, Last Gasp has put out a new edition of the Facsimile edition which is presented in the original black and white.
If you're wondering what is a Facsimile edition -its a reprint of the original Tintin material, before it was re-drawn and recoloured. Originally Herge drew Tintin in black and white, but after it grew in popularity, he hired a team to help colour the book as well as make some changes to the book. The changes include some new backgrounds as well as changes in dialogue.
For those that want to read it, but don't read French, now you can.
Waltz with Bashir won a number of awards - as an independent animated film. Now comes the Graphic novel by the same creators. Definately worth a look.
The next item is Larry Marder's Beanworld. This series has been out of print for a number of years, and as a huge fan, I can't express just how excited I am to see it available again. The art is simple, but the story is quirky and the characterization a lot of fun. If you're tired of the usual, you will find Beanworld highly refreshing.
Atomic Robo was last years indy hit, and now volume 2 of this story is finally collected. Fans of Hellboy should definately check this out.
Dave McKean of Sandman fame, has 2 new items out this week. An artbook of Ink drawings and a postcard book (not shown).
