Giant Days - John Allison

Staff Pick

John Allison is the single best writer of British teens trading witticisms on the US comics scene. Giant Days unites his formidable talents with artists Lissa Treiman and (later) Max Sarin, telling the tale of three college students. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wince in sympathy, probably. Those who enjoy might appreciate Allison's earlier webcomic, "Bad Machinery."

Love Is Love: A Comic Book Anthology to Benefit the Survivors of the Orlando Pulse Shooting

Staff Pick
Today is March 29th, 2017, and as I'm writing this, Love Is Love has already raised over $165,000 in proceeds for those impacted by the Pulse nightclub tragedy in Orlando last June. In the face of such darkness, a response like this is extraordinary. Within this comic book anthology, you'll find stories and artwork that are moving and beautiful. It is a profound tribute to those lost, those who survived, and those left behind to endure. Read it and remember love is love.

Peplum - Blutch

Staff Pick

The Ancient Roman symbol of life’s precariousness was a butterfly balanced on a skull balanced on a wheel and the story of Peplum thoroughly proves it. Acclaimed French graphic novelist Blutch freely adapts Petronius Arbiter’s Satyricon (one of the first “novels” in recorded history) into a story full of stoicism and sloth, sex and death, whimsy and tragedy, all gorgeously rendered. A cold, starving youth takes a dead nobleman’s name and travels across the Empire encountering all manner of misadventures. Is it all a cosmic joke or an outcome entirely of his own making? You decide.
