HAIL MURRAY!
Vibrant images from the San Francisco Bay Area Punk Rock Scene in a deluxe hardcover
Murray Bowles photographed Bay Area punk for four decades, capturing its infectious energy, wild creativity, and ragged tenderness everywhere he found it.
From San Francisco’s Mabuhay Gardens to Berkeley’s 924 Gilman—and the countless basements, backyards, and warehouses in between—Murray was there, camera in hand, the scene’s beloved documentarian.
Collected here for the first time, Murray's classic images from 1982-1995 chronicle a uniquely dynamic and enduring music community in all its chaos and glory.
Featuring hundreds of images of bands such as Green Day, Operation Ivy, Neurosis, Crimpshrine, the Dead Kennedys, MDC, Special Forces, Social Unrest, Spit Boy, Melvins, Gwar, Soundgarden, NOFX, The Offspring and many, many more.
Ultra Heaven Volume 1
The highly-anticipated psychedelic sci-fi graphic novel from Keiichi Koike is now available!
In the future, any mood you want is just a pump away...
"Like Akira as envisioned by Philip K. Dick, this manga uses the language and imagery of science fiction to delve into altered states and transcendental expanses. Koike’s hyperrealistic artwork, which renders the futuristic city in obsessive detail, makes his eye-melting depictions of altered states both hypnotic and disorienting. Fans of new wave science fiction, classic underground comics, and psychedelic poster art will want to take this trip." - Publishers Weekly Starred Review

Pure Trance
A new, compact paperback edition of Junko Mizuno's Pure Trance!
On a post-apocalyptic Earth, a serious social problem has emerged: hyperorexia, or severe overeating, a side effect of the “Pure Trance” life-sustaining pill.
Our story begins in a hospital ruined by a tyrannical director, Keiko Yamazaki. The nurses who toil under Keiko’s whip are regular girls, just like your friends and co-workers.
This dreamy science fiction fantasy is a twisted story of catfights, alien safari adventures, evil experimentation, and a girl in love with a pop idol singer.
Won't Back Down!
In 1973, the Supreme Court gave women the right to make decisions over the care of their own bodies. A mere fifty years later, a rogue Supreme Court has taken that right away. Today, over 32 states have banned or severely restricted abortion.
We’re fighting back as best we can, with pens and brushes, paper and ink, and have produced a pro-choice anthology: Won’t Back Down, featuring the work of over 30 artists, writers, inkers, and colorists, and we’re giving the profits to Planned Parenthood.
With Won’t Back Down, Trina Robbins has created an important anthology that celebrates women who fight for justice – for anyone interested in women's rights, free speech, or simply great comics.
