Collections & Graphic Novels

Howard Lovecraft & Undersea Kingdom: An all-ages H.P. Lovecraft story! Howard Lovecraft’s family has been imprisoned on a far-flung alien planet, Spot hopelessly captured, and he is slowly becoming a mindless Fishman. Accompanied by his insane father, a pistol-packing constable, and his hungry cat, they must face the all-powerful ruler of the Outer Gods, a revengeful old enemy, an army of deadly monsters, and a lethal world called Yuggoth, to save the day. All Howard has to do is surrender his father’s Book. But that would mean certain doom for all of mankind!

Between Gears: Collects the comic in its entirety, with 30 pages of new material! This honest, autobiographical account of a college senior’s life will transport you to the land of Jell-O shots, term papers, job interviews, road trips, and sanguine optimism in the face of uncertainty and change.

Hutch Owen Vol. 2: Unmarketable: This graphic novel collects the all-new travels and travails of Hutch Owen, the homeless rebel that battles the corporate forces that control our lives. Included in this volume are: “Public Relations,” where Hutch is pitted against the Worner company and a PR firm bent on redesigning the World Trade Center Site (this 92-page story — the longest Hutch story to date — was a one-page-per-week improvisational drama begun as a personal response to 9-11); “Aristotle,” in which Hutch winds up in Worner’s employ as a slogan writer; as well as a surreal Hutch Owen “24-hour comic” in which Hutch battles the trends of the “far future” when everyone wants to be on TV and thinks they have something new to say. Hart’s shorter Hutch Owen stories round out the collection with “Consumer Confidence Level,” “In Hong Kong,” “Attacking Attacked Attacking,” and “The Executive Hour” (a solo Dennis Worner story). Don’t miss this politically astute and heart-warming farce.
