SOMETHING NEW

NEW GRAPHIC NOVELS
AND TRADE COLLECTIONS
IN STORE  16 APRIL 2014


 

The wait is over! Matt Fraction  and Chip Zdarsky's perpetually sold out, fantastically popular adult series SEX CRIMINALS is finally collected in its first volume, so there's no need to gaze longingly at the shelf hoping for another reprint of the issues you've missed. (But weren't all those reprint covers fabulous? Just like the series itself - who knew such a ~naughty~ comic could be so much fun?) Another exciting release is GENESIS, a graphic novella by current Black Widow scribe Nathan Edmondson and newcomer Alison Sampson, which looks fascinating, as well as beautiful. I can't wait to read this! 
Also out this week: JOKER: DEATH OF THE FAMILY in paperback, the last SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN collection before the series finale, THE ART OF MILLARWORLD, DAREDEVIL VOL 7, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN VOL 1, a new edition of Moon and Ba's DAYDRIPPER (if you haven't read it yet, you absolutely should!), and a gorgeous hardback of THE ART OF DISNEY GOLDEN BOOKS. I really want this one.  :)
What are you looking forward to this week? Talk to us @DavesComics!

ART OF DISNEY GOLDEN BOOKS

A nostalgic trip down memory lane of beloved childhood treasures! Walt Disney once wisely said, "There is more treasure in books than in all pirates' loot on Treasure Island and at the bottom of the Spanish Main . . . and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life." No doubt Walt was referring to the intangible wealth of opportunities for learning and imagining inherent in the act of reading, but when one considers the vibrant art and gilded spines of the Disney Golden Books, Walt's pronouncement takes on a parallel meaning. For perhaps no other children's books are as cherished and collected - as though they were doubloons and jewels - than the Disney Golden Books. The Art of the Disney Golden Books celebrates a legacy that has now thrived for more than eighty years and continues to influence new generations of artists and filmmakers. Through interviews with contemporary animators who recall tracing the characters in their childhood Disney Golden Books, paintings by artists who influenced and inspired the Disney Golden Book illustrations, and a generous complement of Golden Book artwork - much of which was thought to have been lost until very recently - the rich tradition of the series is explored in this vibrant volume!
