Stories, Art and Cover by Lewis Trondheim. Translations by Kim Thompson. The internationally renowned Harvey and Eisner-nominated series returns with a brand-new issue! Picking up where issue #1 left off, this issue features the further autobiographical adventures of Lewis, told in his inimitable, crisply-delineated anthropomorphic style. In addition to details about Lewis' life as a cartoonist, this issue includes a long flashback to a summer camp-based childhood adventure, drawn in the style of his popular "little kid" stories that appeared in early issues of Measles; here, the recent release of the movie The Exorcist leaves an indelible impression on his young mind. Plus: Two more "Fables," including a full color one on the back cover. 24 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.

Published Apr 2003 by Fantagraphics.$2.50
Stories, Art and Cover by Lewis Trondheim. Translations by Kim Thompson. Ever wonder what it's like to sit in on an editorial meeting at L'Association, the French publishing house Lewis Trondheim co-owns? Wonder no more, as we get to witness a meeting of the six principals that turns into a drunken tussle with a toilet brush. Also, little Lewis discovers the joys and pitfalls of thievery; older Lewis battles the bulge; and a store visit turns into a nausea-inducing debacle when Lewis' friends gross him out with explicit talk of medical emergencies. Plus: A special cameo by Moebius! With this issue, The Nimrod expands to 32 pages, adding 8 pages of short features to the regular 24-page autobio story! 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $3.95.
