Hailed in Europe, Guido Buzzelli has been called the Michaelangelo of monsters, the Goya of comics, and the patron saint of all Italian cartoonists.
A pioneer active from the 1950s-1980s, today virtually unknown in English, Buzzelli horrifies, fascinates, and provokes with his unique blend of surrealism and dynamism. Displaying a range of influences from Westerns and science fiction to Rennaisance art and futurism, Buzzelli's stories are a delightful, quasi-postmodern mishmash of high and low, showing an intricate hand and stylish narrative skill.
This final volume includes Guido Buzzelli's full-color science fiction epic Zasafir, A Star For Ganymede, Resurrection, and the previously unpublished Incomplete Zasafir. The volume features his earliest masterpiece, The Revolt of the Wretched. This satirical examination of class war is credited for inventing the independent Italian graphic novel.

It's that sort of artwork which looks like it was never made by anyone, it simply exists in its own realm. --Paul Pope, Battling Boy
Airbrushed insanity. --Daniel Lopatin, Oneohtrix Point Never
Floodgate Companion is comprised of previously unseen artwork recalling the heyday of paperback sci-fi, experimental animation, and the outsider realm of artist-released jazz and psychedelic records. This book brings the viewer into a world uniquely Beatty's own, moving stylistically through ink drawings, digital airbrush paintings, and psychedelic op-art collage framed in asemic type to create a cosmic and immersive artifact.
Robert Beatty emerged from the mid-2000s American noise music underground to become one of the most sought-after figures in contemporary album art, designing upwards of seventy-five record covers in the past ten years. His designs include award-winning album covers and logos for Tame Impala, Oneohtrix Point Never, Neon Indian, Real Estate, and Peaking Lights. In addition to album art Beatty creates installations and illustrations for publications as diverse as Lucky Peach, The Wire Magazine, and The New York Times. His artwork and design has been featured in the art comic anthologies Mould Map and Kramers Ergot. Robert was the first artist featured in Pitchfork.tv's documentary series Pitchfork Unsung, focusing on individuals who've made significant contributions to music but remain outside the spotlight.

After creating the first independent graphic novel in Italy, the award-winning illustrator reinvents the genre comic.
The second of three volumes collecting Guido Buzzelli's stories in English for the first time, this volume showcases two science fiction tales that turn the canon upside down, penetrating myth and tearing it apart. HP is a hallucinatory, Lovecraftian locomotive, an acrid parody of Italian westerns; while the alchemical retro-future of Morganna performs an autopsy of modern life's horrors.
These fantastic and grotesque stories demonstrate why Buzzelli was called the Goya of comics. One of Europe's most praised comics auteurs, Buzzelli Collected Works are the perfect introduction to his masterful skill and subversive art.

During his 45th year of life A singular voice in cinema, (Movies in Focus) and One of genre's most exciting filmmakers (Indiewire) decided to make a comic book.
After the release of three startling, award-winning movies that have played around the world and been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, S. Craig Zahler wanted to return to his first artistic passion--illustration. With tools that he had developed as a director, screenwriter, cinematographer, novelist, and songwriter, he committed himself to writing, drawing, inking, and lettering his graphic novel debut, a full-length work of noir horror entitled, Forbidden Surgeries of the Hideous Dr. Divinus.
Homeless people are disappearing in New Bastion, and occasionally, a dismantled corpse turns up in a dumpster. These crimes are left alone, until the day a comatose woman named Lillian Driscoll is kidnapped from the hospital. Her brothers--a grumpy detective named Leo and a slick mobster named Tommy--seek answers that lead them to darkness, arcane medicine, and pain.
Fans of Bone Tomahawk (recently named best film of the decade by Conan O'Brien) will enjoy Zahler's return to the supernatural, and the idiosyncratic, tough guy dialogue found in his crime pictures Dragged Across Concrete and Brawl in Cell Block 99 (both of which premiered at the Venice Film Festival) is also present in this starkly rendered, black-and-white graphic novel, a stylistic confluence of pre-code horror, vintage comic strip, and modern indie art styles.
- Introduces significant aspects of traditional Japanese boatbuildingdesign, workshop and tools, wood and materials
- Introduces joinery and fastenings, propulsion, ceremonies, and the apprenticeship system
- The only available English-language documentation of these traditional boats and the few craftspeople left able to build them
With Japan's unprecedented modernization in the last century, the demand for traditional boats (wasen) faded, leaving the last generation of boatbuilders with no one to teach. This is the story of the author's apprenticeships with five Japanese masters to build their unique and endangered traditional watercraft. Brooks was the sole apprentice for each craftsman, and worked under a time-honored system in which apprentices first swept floors and sharpened tools, learning chiefly by observation with only limited direct instruction. The resulting book is part ethnography, part instruction, and part the personal story of a wooden boatbuilder fueled by a passion to preserve a craft tradition on the brink of extinction. It fills a large and long-standing gap in the literature on Japanese crafts, and will be of interest to boatbuilders, woodworkers, and all those impressed with the marvels of Japanese design and workmanship.

He invites her to collaborate on his masterpiece, revealing the secret that could spark the next phase of human evolution.
