(W) Martin Pasko, Mort Todd (A) Amanda Conner, Alberto Saichann, Grant Miehm (CA) Joe Madureira, Jimmy Palmiotti A BLAST FROM THE PAST! When the animated show Gargoyles burst onto TV screens in the mid-1990s, it immediately gained a devoted following that clamored for more tales about the stony guardians of the night. In 1995, Marvel answered that call with a new series that featured the first comics work of young artist named AMANDA CONNER — and the rest is history! (Or perhaps we should say, legend!) In this title’s action-packed story, workers at a construction site are threatened by a fearsome creature who looks like a Gargoyle, but may be something much deadlier. It’s up to Goliath and his fellow Manhattan Clan members, along with NYPD Detective Elisa Maza, to get to the bottom of the mystery — and keep more people from getting hurt. Written by acclaimed comics scribes MARTIN PASKO and MORT TODD, this first Gargoyles comic book series has never been reprinted in its entirety — until now! Collecting all eleven issues of the original Marvel Comics run, Gargoyles: Classic Years is the first release in a planned three-volume series from Dynamite and Disney that will present each of the long-out-of-print Gargoyles comics titles from the 1990s and early 2000s in beautiful new editions. Featuring a stunning covers from JOE MADUREIRA and JIMMY PALMIOTTI, this debut volume kicks off the series with a bang — don’t miss out!

(W) Stan Lee, John Severin, Bill Everett, Joe Maneely (A) John Severin, Bill Everett, Joe Maneely (CA) Joe Maneely When Harvey Kurtzman and Bill Gaines launched EC’s Mad comic book as a warmly received satirical magazine, a flood of imitators soon filled newsstands, but the first and best to follow in Mad’s footsteps (coinciding with the second issue of Mad magazine) was Snafu, edited and written by Kurtzman’s former boss: Stan “The Man” Lee! Snafu was packed with Marvel/Atlas’ top humor creators and, following the Mad playbook, filled pages with ad and news spoofs, alongside film, television, and book parodies like “The Blackboard Forest” by Russ Heath, “Pete Kelsey’s Booze” and “Bleed, You Bum!” by Joe Maneely, “Drugnet” by Howie Post, “Emily Toast’s Etiquette Page” by John Severin, and “Snafu’s Lovely Ladies” by Bill Everett, with production supervised by Marie Severin. Seen here is some of the most eye-popping work of Maneely’s short life, including great Hollywood caricatures done in a wash style. In this new volume in our Atlas Library collaboration with Marvel, Fantagraphics is tickled pink to present for the first time, the complete Snafu collection along with a history of Martin Goodman’s humor publications in all genres by editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo.

(W/A/CA) Hugo Pratt Artist Hugo Pratt’s most famous creation, the indefatigable sailor Corto Maltese, sails back to American readers after a far too-long absence in Corto Maltese: Fable of Venice and Other Adventures. Corto, a modern Ulysses whose wanderings in the early decades of the 20th century take him to the most fascinating places on Earth, is a hard-luck, hard-driving iconoclastic anti-hero who values freedom and independence more than wealth and status. In “Fable of Venice,” a riddle from a deceased friend plunges Corto into a phantasmagorical mystery thriller that zigzags between the solidity of dreams and the fluidity of reality. A frantic chase in 1921 Venice ensues, up twisting stairs and down tangled alleys, as Corto vies against Freemasons, occultists, budding fascists, and his friend (suddenly back from the dead) in a mad scramble to secure a mystical emerald that will open the doors of forbidden magic and unravel time and space itself! In addition, this collection of quintessential seafaring adventures also presents the Corto Maltese classics “The Secret of Tristan Bantam,” “So Much for Gentlemen of Fortune,” and “The Seagull's Fault,” making this book an exciting introduction to Pratt’s work.

(W) Paul Theroux (A/CA) Steve Lafler Money, women, power, and rebelling against the golden years. These are some of the perilous and alluring patterns that weave their way through Crazy for You. In this double feature of love and obsession, two short stories by the acclaimed writer Paul Theroux are adapted by veteran cartoonist Steve Lafler. “Minor Watt” is a high society satire lampooning the perverse relationship between art and the art market — and what happens when the joy of owning is outstripped by the thrill of destroying. “Siamese Nights” is a tale of infidelity, infatuation, and exoticism, blending into an intoxicating, midlife crisis siren song. Little choices and self-betrayals build until a quiet leitmotif rolls into a shattering crescendo. Lafler's bold and expressive style effortlessly captures the pulp exuberance adorning Theroux’s stories and the profound vulnerability underlying his characters. Crazy for You will stop you in your tracks right before it bowls you over.

(W) Carl Barks, Don Rosa, Romano Scarpa (A) Carl Barks, Don Rosa, Romano Scarpa (CA) Carl Barks “Curse me kilts!” As soon as Scrooge McDuck became the world’s richest miser, a rascally rogues’ gallery assembled to rob him. Now Fantagraphics launches the new Disney Greatest Comics Collection with a wild anthology of these beloved bad guys at their best... and worst! Flintheart Glomgold, “The Second-Richest Duck,” is here in Carl Barks’ 1956 classic! Sorceress Magica De Spell is out to get “The Midas Touch,” then turns Duckburg sideways in Don Rosa’s “A Matter of Some Gravity!” The Beagle Boys pull Scrooge’s simoleons skyward in Barks’ “The Money Well,” then turn his assets liquid in Rosa’s “Cash Flow!” Playboy billionaire John D. Rockerduck debuts in Barks’ “Boat Buster,” then outspends Scrooge again in Flemming Andersen’s “Crash Course”! Plus never-before-collected tales starring Dutch tycoon Velma Vanderduck, space-monkey Tachyon Farflung... and more! See these classic adventures outfitted with new commentary by Disney historians Jim Fanning and David Gerstein, plenty of extras... and more surprises than Scrooge’s Money Bin has booby-traps.

In the one-and-only comics adaptation of DuckTales: The Movie, Uncle Scrooge’s quest for Collie Baba’s treasure gives Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby a genie of their own… but wicked wizard Merlock wants the magic and power for himself, and he’ll stop at nothing to get it! Then Baloo, Becky, and the TaleSpin crew seek their own lost treasure beyond “The Gates of Shambhala”—not knowing Don Karnage and the Air Pirates have joined the expedition in disguise! And in “Watts the Problem,” supercharged scoundrel Megavolt becomes a human battery… sucking the power out of St. Canard! Can Darkwing and Launchpad pull the plug? All this and Gummi Bears, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, and Goof Troop too!

(W/A/CA) Jaime Hernandez Jaime Hernandez is one of the most humane, graceful, and imaginatively inexhaustible artists in American popular culture. Locas tells the story of Maggie Chascarrillo, a bisexual, Mexican-American woman attempting to define herself in a community rife with class, race, and gender issues. Maggie's story begins in the early-1980s Southern California rock scene, when it was shifting from the excesses of the 1970s to the gritty basics of punk and new wave. Hardcore punk rock came to the fore, and the teenage Maggie finds herself drawn to the anarchy, energy, and diversity of the scene, which in Jaime's hands becomes a very real, habitable place populated with authentic human beings rather than stereotypes. She quickly befriends Hopey Glass, a feisty anti-authoritarian punkette who quickly becomes Maggie's on-again, off-again lover and a constant presence in her life as they navigate a devastatingly naturalistic world. Created over 15 years from 1981-96 in the pages of the legendary comic book series Love and Rockets Vol. I #1–50, this new deluxe hardcover edition includes three stories that were not included in the previous edition.

(W/A/CA) Barry Windsor-Smith From the moment Marvel brought him to the U.S. in 1969, Windsor-Smith was a creative force to be reckoned with. A passionate devotee of Jack Kirby, Windsor-Smith’s earliest drawing at Marvel reflected that influence, but he quickly developed his own unique, eye-opening style, combining intricately detailed realism with the dreamlike lushness of art nouveau and late-1960s psychedelia. This volume focuses on the earliest of his work, including memorable storylines on The Avengers, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, and individual stories for Chamber of Darkness, Tower of Shadows, and Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. All new benchmarks of comics art, culminating in what may be the highlight of this period: Windsor-Smith’s collaboration with writer Gerry Conway on an epic tale of civil war in Ka-Zar’s Savage Land. Future volumes will trace Windsor-Smith’s career through such milestones as Machine Man and Weapon X.

(W/A/CA) Jack Davis, Wallace Wood Jack Davis and Wallace Wood’s crazed cartooning in Mad changed the art form, and comedy itself, forever. But their gonzo parody work in Mad’s sister satire title, Panic, published at the same time, is less well-known. To invert that injustice, this volume of The Fantagraphics EC Artists’ Library presents all their zany, pun-packed Panic lampoonery, especially their pomposity-puncturing movie parodies, including Davis’s “My Gun Is the Jury!” “Come Back, Little Street Car!”, “A Star Is Corn” and Wood’s “African Scream!”, “Gone With The Widow,” and “20,000 Leaks Under The Sea.” These visual volleys are verbalized by Al Feldstein (editor of Panic, later editor of Mad) and Jack Mendelsohn (prolific cartoonist and writer whose non-comics credits include TV’s Laugh-In and The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine). But the laughs don’t languish. Also included is the never-before-reprinted “V-Vampires,” a riotous romp written by the legendary Harvey Kurtzman and drawn by Wood that vanished after its initial appearance more than 70 years ago!

(W/A/CA) Katriona Chapman In her early thirties, Claudia is fast becoming a sensation on the culinary scene. In the midst of putting her chic London restaurant, Alley, on the map, she decides to enter the upcoming Chef of the Year competition. All this, as she is also attempting to make a name for herself beyond the shadow of her famous chef father. As the day of the competition nears, tensions simmer as the pressures of ambition, business, family, and friendship threaten to throw her world awry. In The Pass, NYT-reviewed British comic artist Katriona Chapman brings to life the fast-paced, high-pressure atmosphere of restaurant life, with a lived-in cast of characters including chef Claudia, her best friend and sous chef Lisa, and barman Ben. Chapman delves into themes of identity, the pains of expectation and success, and the allure of running from the life you’ve built. A sensitive and affecting slice of life, rendered in soft digital coloring.

(W/A/CA) Marcelo D Salete In the mid-19th century, millions of Africans were enslaved and brought to Brazil. Among them was the real-life Teodora who, separated from her husband and her son, worked in the home of a priest in São Paulo. Wishing to reconstruct the family ties lost during the journey from Africa to Brazil and to achieve emancipation for herself and her family, she gave Claro, a Black man who could read and write, money to help her write letters: some addressed to her husband and her son, whereabouts unknown, in the hopes that the letters would find them and that they could achieve this quest together; and some addressed to enslavers, intended to either help locate her family or to persuade them to let her buy her freedom. Inspired by this correspondence, Tiodora’s Letters is a rigorously researched historical work, a compelling narrative based on her letters, and masterfully drawn by D’Salete, who graphically recreates her struggle. In the 1860s, Benê, a fictional Black young man who likes Tiodora because she was kind to him, takes it upon himself to seek Tiô’s family and deliver the letters. He embarks on a dangerous and world-building journey into the interior of Brazil and to the coffee plantations where they might be. There are many wordless passages of heartbreaking horror, character beats, breathtaking drawings of nature, and much more. In Tiodora’s Letters, D’Salete reconstructs a forgotten part of Brazil's dark history of slavery and pays tribute to the strength of a woman who fought for her rights single-handedly. Includes educational and contextual material.

(W) Monte Schulz (A) Monte Schulz (CA) Hieronymus Bosch Once there was a republic of boundless wonder and achievement whose bright horizon had gone dark, soiled by a populace it imagined as undisciplined, unhealthy, feebleminded, and whose very existence stained and subverted a great society. A solution appeared in the furious logic of Biological Dominion that named the ineffectual and weak, the criminally deformed and unwell, as the root cause of this decline. Now, imagine laws conceived in the high halls of government to rid this society of millions deemed infected by a curious disease supposedly responsible for that poverty of health and morality. Next, imagine those millions considered to be unfit and unworthy for daily life loaded onto freight trains and ushered away to perish in distant woods and fields. Imagine more thousands chased into the vast underground of labyrinthine caves and dark catacombs beneath vibrant city streets and lovely city parks to wither away and die. Undercity collects the voices of brave survivors, of those who’ve refused to submit to the indignities of eugenical persecution, the horror of gas chambers, and relentless warfare in rural provinces. Some of these stories demonstrate the moral disaster of eugenics, while others tell of courage and love and that indomitable magic of the human spirit that refuses to be silenced in the face of unspeakable crimes. Perhaps Undercity is a warning to us, as well, that what we might think is unimaginable needs only apathy and inattention to arise.

(W/A/CA) Joe Sacco Joe Sacco is well known as a chronicler of Palestinian pain (Palestine, 1993; Footnotes on Gaza, 2010). He continues this self-created tradition in War on Gaza, a series of graphic commentaries on Israel's genocidal war on Gaza that has been going on non-stop for the last year. Originally published in installments on The Comics Journal’s website, War on Gaza is a series of comics continuities and single panels as morally devastating as the war itself. Employing his trademark combination of earnestness, compassion, satire, and dark humor, Sacco’s War on Gaza is a relentless critique of Israel’s warmongering and President Joe Biden’s complicity.

(W/A/CA) Christopher Fink Chris Fink has just awoken in the desert. Soaked, disoriented, the first person he sees is his own fictional character. What is reality? What does an eco-feminist movement from the future — and a long-abandoned but never-forgotten indie comic, Leopold & Brink — have to do with his predicament? From this SF framework emerges a metafictional memoir, as epic and intimate as life itself. Embarking in earnest with the onset of the 2020 lockdowns, Fink’s years-long journey of graphic healing hit an unexpected detour when he received a brain cancer diagnosis midway through constructing this book. Not to be deterred, the tragedy and comedy of life become tools to break new liberative ground, a lifetime of drawing conjures fresh and playful visual expressions to compliment his stream of consciousness style. Vonnegut-esque slipstreams of memory weave together tumultuous youth, romantic misadventures, and the looping pathways of a working artist, in a tapestry of loss and longing. Buoyed by the ephemera of yesteryear, this is an ode to the comics, film, and TV that raised him, and the adults who didn’t. A saga of catharsis and reconciliation, Breakthrough: Life on the Brink is a story to live by.

(W/A/CA) Fred Noland A dark corner of a rail car, on the underside of a motel mattress, find the spot where the depraved and the absurd bump lyrical uglies. In this collection of short stories, portraits, and graphic biography and commentary, Fred Noland embarks on a tour through the unreal, hilarious, and often very real dimensions of the seedier side of human nature. In the lead story “Midnight Creep,” a supernatural southern gothic steeped in blues folklore, the devil is hot on a killer’s heels. Angel dust is in the air in the cyclical and comedic “Dusted.” Other attractions include an ode to the iconoclastic expressionist George Grosz, cholos playing putt putt, and more. Written with authenticity and dark humor, Noland’s comics ooze with a manic energy and an irreverence that are deceptively disturbing, revelatory, and unexpectedly funny. Includes a career spanning interview with the author by editor Gary Groth.

(W/A/CA) Barbara Willy Mendes Barbara “Willy” Mendes’ masterpiece of hallucinogenic storytelling, Queen of Cosmos Comix Trilogy, collected for the first time in a single volume.

Inspired by Jewish mysticism, Mendes presents a creation myth shaped by feminine cosmic consciousness, with new, immersive worlds — and a radical reimagining of this one.
