Highly recommend TALK TO MY BACK, one of my favorite GARO comics in English, which includes fantastic back matter by Ryan Holmberg: drawnandquarterly.com/books/talk-my-back/ Perfect for josei, literary comic, and memoir readers, from one of the most prominent female underground manga artists.

For fans of period pieces with gorgeous art, dive into a steamy mafia romance with SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES, then cleanse your palate with GLOBETROTTERS, a nonfiction account of Nellie Bly's trip around the world illustrated in a suitably trippy rainbow-colored palette.

For the comic history buff, HIRSCHFELD'S SONDHEIM is a gorgeous detachable poster book featuring some of my favorite Al Hirschfeld drawings and Broadway musicals! Pair it with THE ESSENTIAL PEANUTS to get the 75th Peanuts anniversary book and all of its bonus goodies for any comic art collector.

Today my first acquisition is out in the world! One million thanks to @hakunette.bsky.social for trusting the Abrams ComicArts team with SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES—and if you or someone you know wants to read a tragic gay mafia romance comic that will leave you in shambles, please pick up the book!

When I wake up every day I see this portrait @princelapin.bsky.social drew of me well over ten years ago on my dresser and it always takes me back to exactly the person I was all those years ago. I hate being photographed, but this is far and away my favorite picture of me.
