Hardback. Condition: Good. Master cartoonist Mikael Ross (The Thud) tells the story of Beethoven's years leading up to Beethoven's first major public appearance in Vienna in 1795.

Paperback. Condition: Good. 'A bicycle is a machine that you power yourself. You decide where you want to go,' writes cartoonist Powerpaola, as the guiding principle of this graphic memoir. All My Bicycles is a story that never really begins, existing all at once in Paola's memory. The book illustrates Powerpaola's relationships through her many bicycles: in fragments, it takes her back to her great loves and losses, friendships, and disappointments. In remembering a bicycle, a manhole, an alligator, or a necklace, Powerpaola reflects upon these items in her consciousness without finding a concrete solution. Paola's memories arrive abruptly and leave just as fast, creating a pathway through herself she can only find in moving forward. All My Bicycles is a glimpse into how exploring these fleeting tangible moments - of physical objects, of traveling and seeing a new city, of even the end of a relationship - is an exploration of self.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The signature creation of cartoonist Roger Langridge, Fred the Clown is the thinking man's idiot. He has an eye for the ladies, as well as several other organs, but they are only willing to offer him a carefully placed kneecap. His foolish misadventures are a curious balance of bleakness and joyful absurdism, that can be traced back through Monty Python, The Goon Show and as far back as Lewis Carroll. Underlying it all is Langridge's meticulous brush style.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Donal Phelps is our great poet of the poetics of comics.
