Weekly Shiplists for Wednesday, 14 December 2022

ART BRUT #1 (OF 4) (MR)

Presenting here the first major work from the creative minds behind ICE CREAM MAN-re-lettered, remastered, and under its original intended name! The world of fine art is falling apart, and only ART BRUT knows how to fix it. Alongside the Bureau of Artistic Integrity, Arthur Brut the Mad Dreampainter (and his trusty sidekick, Manny the Mannequin) must dive back into the very paintings that made him insane…or reality itself might just crumble to pieces. A colorful, gonzo romp through art and art history, ART BRUT is equal parts police procedural, hyper-fantasy, and psychological thriller-a veritable Pollock-splatter of comics genres tossed onto one giant pulpy canvas!
Each issue features new covers, new design, and a new Silver Age-style backup story featuring the art hero that no one’s ever heard of-until now!
Originally published under the title The Electric Sublime, this special edition presents the NPR-lauded, critically acclaimed material in its intended form.

BONE ORCHARD BLACK FEATHERS #4 (OF 5)

Jackie and Trish are forced to relive the events of a terrible night in their teen years when the past comes crashing back to haunt the present. And even though she doesn’t have a choice either way, Trish is ready to fight this time.

CRITICAL ROLE MIGHTY NEIN ORIGINS FJORD HC

More than just an orcish face!
Growing up in an orphanage on the Menagerie Coast, Fjord Stone has never been comfortable with the assumptions people draw from his half-orc heritage. His sweet, sensitive nature will do him no favors in Port Damali. Luckily, a chance encounter on the docks lands Fjord with a job, a mentor, and more adventure than he could ever dream of on the path that will eventually lead him to the rest of the Mighty Nein!
Kevin Burke and Chris “Doc” Wyatt, writers for the Amazon original animated series Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina, join fan-favorite artist Selina Espiritu, colorist Diana Sousa, letterer Ariana Maher, and Matthew Mercer and Travis Willingham from the cast of Critical Role to bring Fjord’s early years to life in this all-new hardcover graphic novel!

HOLDING HER OWN EXCEPTIONAL LIFE OF JACKIE ORMES HC

Jackie Ormes made history. She was the first Black woman cartoonist to be nationally syndicated in the United States. She was also a journalist, fashionista, philanthropist, and activist, and she used her incredible talent and artistry to bring joy and hope to people everywhere. But in post-World War II America, Black people were still being denied their civil rights, and Jackie found herself in a dilemma: How could her art stay true to her signature “Jackie joy” while remaining honest about the inequalities Black people had been fighting?

KILLER AFFAIRS OF THE STATE HC

Caught and put to work as an on-call assassin for the French government, the Killer has to adjust to working with a handler, Barbara; his new partner Nicolas, a former special forces operative; and life as a civilian.
A network of city-wide corruption awaits, getting Killer even more involved in the midst of an escalating crisis. But as feelings for a coworker arise in his day job, will he be dangerously distracted, torn between two identities?
The Eisner Award-nominated series starring everyone’s favorite nameless assassin by artist Luc Jacamon and writer Matz (The Black Dahlia) makes its long awaited return!

TOVE JANSSON THE ILLUSTRATORS HC

Born in Helsinki among Finland’s Swedish-speaking minority, Tove Jansson was brought up with a love for making art and stories in a supportive, artistic family. Her first illustrated tales were published when she was fourteen years old and she went on to draw humorous and political cartoons as well as striking front covers for the satirical magazine Garm, in response to events in World War II. As she developed from art student to painter and muralist, and from bohemian to lesbian, she also created her Moomin world, which appeared in her first children’s book in 1945 and then in newspaper strips. Tove Jansson offers a visually rich view into the life and work of this much-loved artist and writer.
