Cool trades

New books that are bound to be good

Cages
Dave McKean (Sandman, MirrorMask with Neil Gaiman) magnum opus is finally out again. Beautiful rumination of art, God, cats and the cages we find ourselves in.

From Hell
A new Hardcover edition from two of the smartest creators in the comics field, Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell. A dissection of the Jack the Ripper murders, one of the best graphic novels ever created.

Cerebus: High Society Remastered
Classic indie tale celebrates its 30^th Anniversary

How to understand Israel in 60 days or less
A straightforward and sincere analysis of the Israeli situation told lovingly through humourous anecdotes. A distinctive and touching memoir.

Bumperhead
Bobby lives in the moment, growing up in the 70s he goes from glam rocker to punk to metal freak. He drifts in and out of relationships. And his best mate has an ipad, (30 years before they were invented).

Son of the Gun
An abandoned baby, with a tail, is rescued by a transvestite dwarf prostitute. What else would you expect from great gonzo sci-fi writer Alejandro Jodorowsky?

Hellboy in Hell Vol 2
Hellboy is dead. And in Hell. And kicking ass. Best work Mike Mignola has ever done. The final volume.

Cousin Joseph
Jules Feiffer (Kill my Mother) releases a new hard boiled story of a man on a mission. He’s just picked a bad mission for the wrong side. A fast moving, violent socio-political satire.
