Recommended reading : Here you will find a PDF link to Asa Grennvall first autobiographical book (2002) about domestic violence in it's english version. Pause and read this, it's worth your while. http://www.electrocomics.com/pdfs/elect ... hfloor.pdf
Just bought a stack of these at a zine fair here in Australia.. They are tiny little books, but super thick and full of great content. Think along the lines of Meathaus.com .. that kind of Fantagraphics/Drawn and Quarterly style. http://kushkomikss.ecrater.com/c/131332 ... nthologies Check them out, really good value at $13 a pop (free shipping in USA), & you can see lists of contributors for each issue. Guys like Michael DeForge and Simon Hanselmann have been involved in the last few issues.
. . . . dont laugh, its great The Comic Muppet Book by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr The Comic Muppet Book page by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
^ I don't think i've ever been disappointed with anything Muppets Is that a graphic novel ? Hardcover ? I actually watched 'Muppets In Space' last night....I was laughing my ass off !
Just got this in the mail. I did'nt realise it had been published until i walked into Forbidden Planet the other day and saw it on the shelf. Paul Pope rules. Battling Boy by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Battling Boy back by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
I went into my local comic store the other day, bought JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE . It was expensive but it continues the movie storyline with some great art. Expensive over here too! I think I paid 10 dollars for it...but it felt good to make a purchase at a local shop.
Oh man, I definitely need to find that Dredd Megazine! Thanks for the heads up! Also got in that Battling Boy. Super excited to read it. Return of Paul Pope!
I walked into work the other day and saw a copy of Battling Boy on my desk and thought, "WOW early birthday?" But it wasn't to be. It was only on loan from a friend It was a great getting back into his worlds. Then he brought in Pulphope and One trick Ripoff later in the week. So sort of on a Paul Pope binge lately. Was very happy to read all three.
I should have posted this earlier, but I didn't realise it applied to online purchases as well. It actually started on Monday. In any case D&Q is having a 40% off sale on their web store orders, which is just bonkers. And for the locals, all D&Q-published books and comics are on sale for 25% off at the shop. Sale runs until Monday, December 2nd. Get in on this madness!
I love Patrick Kyle's Black Mass comic. His collected edition is on sale today only for 50% off. http://motherbooks.storenvy.com/col...products/1086931-black-mass-collected-edition It's well worth the $20 so it's obviously worth it at $10!
Oh man, thanks for the tip! I had some of their zine releases, but holy cow, $10 for the whole collected package, I'm sold! Just purchased! I finally read Battling Boy. Fantastic read. Paul Pope just makes some really, entertaining stories. LOVED Life Zone. One of my favorite comics of 2013. I finally "get" Simon Hanselmann humor and thing now. And this comic just hit a perfect, dark humor note.
^^ i have to get round to reading Battling Boy . . . theres too much of a back-log on my graphic novels at the moment! Here's another reason why i love charity shops. You regularly find random little curiosities like this Spitting Image compilation from the late 80's Spitting Image by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Ryan Hughes by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Ryan Hughes by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr Ryan Hughes by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Moog, somehow that ryan Hughes strip didn't make the cut for the 'yesterday's tomorrows' compilation (well worth picking up for 'Dare' alone). Nice find!
Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue Neko Kappa by Imiri Sakabashira- Its like some horror, twisted, surreal head trip. Fun!
yeah mate, it was a nice surprise. There is also a page by Hunt Emerson and a couple by some 2000ad artists . . . . ^^ Is this a Japanese book? I've been waiting for more of his stuff to be published in English. I love this one that D+Q published in 2010 . . . The Box Man - Imiri Sakabashira by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Sorry, yes, its in Japanese. Though I don't understand a single word the graphics are just incredible. Ah, I forgot about The Box Man. Should get that.
Just out . . . . the last one was great . . . hoping this one will be too Nemo: Roses of Berlin by The Moog Image Dump, on Flickr
Very happy to pick this one up cheap. I read The Perishers in the Mirror newspaper as a kid. This book is from 1978. Classic British comic-strip . . . . .
I was browsing the shelves of my local FP and came across this absolute gem. Very dense, dark and lyrical . . . i loved it. Looking forward to the next installment. The story is told in flashback by a Butterfly and a Rabbit skeleton with half its skull missing!! The art reminds me of Paul Pope, which is never a bad thing . . . .
Got Battling Boy on the way, have just recently had my passion for comics re-ignited upon finishing the first volume of Saga. Absolutely stunned me. Vol 2 instantly ordered.
