OUR SPRING LINE IS AVAILABLE NOW AT http://www.kilgorebooks.com

Powerman by Box Brown $7, 40 pgs, 5.25x7, color, saddle-stiched. The mind behind ‘Andre the Giant’ and ‘Everything Dies’ delivers the story of a  Trump-esque character who goes on a voyage of self-discovery and becomes a changed man.

The Fifth Window by Amara Leipzig $7, 44 pgs, 6x9, b/w, saddle stiched. Leipzig presents the story of a monk in a tower deciding what story to tell with the tower’s final stained glass window. Slightly metaphysical and entirely enchanting.

Cosmic Be-Ing #2 by Alex Graham $7, 32 pgs, 8.5x11, b/w saddle stiched. In the best tradition of the 60’s undergrounds comes this surreal meditation on the meaning of life, and the artist’s struggle to communicate with the world. A brutally honest comic.

A Horse, A Crow, and a Hippo Walk Into a Bar by Lauren Barnett $12, 72 pages, 6x9, b/w, perfect bound. One of the funniest writers in comics delivers this collection of three hilarious stories of egotistical animals. If you like your animals mean and shallow, this is the book for you.

AND DON’T FORGET THESE BACK CATALOG TITLES STILL IN PRINT: My Hot Date, Blammo #6, #7, #8, #8.5 by Noah Van Sciver Frantastic Four, Vulture City Stories by Sam Spina Momento! by Matias San Juan Blindspot #3 by Joseph Remnant

MOMENTO! by Matias San Juan published by Kilgore Books & Comics

Combining murder, drug use, cannibalism, game shows, Momento! brings you six stories of dysfunction, terror and social commentary. It’s all jam packed into one great, terrifying comic in which Matias San Juan distills the best of Kurtzman, Clowes and Los Bros. 

If you love great stories with a bunch, and clean comic art, this is the mag for you.3
