    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    Story and art by Brother Malcolm.

    When Brother Malcolm's older sibling expressed trepidation about becoming a Vlogger, Malcolm advised him to just "go for it, dive right in, and worry about the details later." Realizing he should take his own advice; Malcolm began drawing diary comics.

    These were originally self-published as 12-page minicomics, and are now collected in YESTERDAY: Diary Comix. Although much of the work contained within YESTERDAY focuses on Malcolm's personal life, there are frequent detours to explore death row inmates, tarot readings, astrology, dreams, and overheard anecdotes.

    Softcover, 5-in.x 8-in., 352 pages, B&W. Mature Readers

    Image Edition - 1st printing. Written by GRANT MORRISON, RAYMOND CHANDLER & TOM DeHAVEN with JOHN FREEMAN and CHRIS REYNOLDS. Art and cover RIAN HUGHES. AN ECLECTIC AND STYLISH COLLECTION OF COMICS FROM RIAN HUGHES, RENOWNED ILLUSTRATOR AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER. Features infamous and hard-to-find collaborations with Eisner Award winner GRANT MORRISON: Dan Dare, a post-modern classic that sets the aging and retired iconic British character Dare against a modern British landscape he no longer understands; and Really and Truly, a high-octane psychedelic road-trip torn from the pages of cult comic 2000AD. Hughes' clean graphic style comes to the fore in duotone for The Science Service, written by JOHN FREEMAN, while Hughes explores an evocative noir palette replete with dramatic angular lighting for RAYMOND CHANDLER's Goldfish, adapted by It's Superman author TOM DeHAVEN. In addition to sketchbook pages, merchandise and rare strips-many never seen before or out of print for over a decade-the book features an introduction by comics guru PAUL GRAVETT, who published Hughes' very first strips in his seminal independent comics magazine Escape. Softcover, 264 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.

From the original diagnosis to a far future victory. From the poignant to the outlandish. All wrapped up in two gorgeous colour covers by Tom Box, this is the zombie apocalypse as seen by the living, the undead, and some who may be either. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 160 pages, PC/PB&W.
