BIGHEAD
by Jeffrey Brown
Jeffrey Brown is back – and with a
Bighead, no less! From the creator of
Clumsy and
Be a Man comes an irreverent and clever superhero parody, featuring the most amazing hero of all time: BIGHEAD. Witness inept villains clash with an all-too-emotional hero, in the epic graphic novel that will leap all clichés in a single bound.
BIGHEAD brings together moral fable, social commentary and classic comic book action, featuring a superhero who must save an unthankful world while facing the demons of his own
failures.

GUTSMAN COMICS VOL #1
by Erik Kriek
Think
Love and Rockets of the superhero world mixed with Quentin Tarantino and you'll have
Gutsman by Dutch creator Erik Kriek. Wordless, stylish, and sexy, this graphic novel playfully uses the imagery of mainstream comics to turn the spotlight on love affairs, despair, temptation and loss. A unique approach to comics.
-- $14.95 (US), 128 pages, Graphic Novel, ISBN 90-5492-098-X
