Tomorrow the Birds by Osamu Tezuka

Birds Rule! And on the world described and depicted in the 332 pages of Tomorrow the Birds, they literally do. Originally published between 1971 and 1975, this bevy of tales by the one and only Osamu Tezeka portrays an Earth where birds evolve to become the dominant species.

This collection is packed with page after page of crazy action and amazing art galore (much of which involves comical caricature, amidst which, it should be noted, are included a small number of potentially offensive racial caricatures).

This budget-priced, 5.75” x 8.25” softcover is their first English language publication.

HOT HOUSE by John Hankiewicz

Anchored by a textless/silent, uniform four-panel grid, Hot House is a graphic novel like none other. Through its one hundred pages of laboriously detailed comics, Hankiewicz pulls back the curtain of conscious normalcy, revealing the inherent surreality of domesticity that lurks just below the surface. You'll want to take your time with this one. Multiple read throughs are seriously recommended.

Now available from Copacetic, HERE.

World War 3 Illustrated has been challenging the status quo for well over forty years now, in works of agitprop comics & stories, essays & graphics, and various inspired combinations of images and texts. The latest issue,  #54, asks us: "Now?"

The inspired artists and writers who create World War 3 share their thoughts, ideas and stories to both provide inspiration in turn and to also shine lights on places of darkness – often that immaterial darkness of the soul – and provide desperately necessary critiques.

The images shared here are all from the latest issue, which, like all the other issues is a budget-conscious production, printed on heavyweight newsprint and quite reasonably priced considering that the average issue length is in the neighborhood of 200 pages; profit is most definitely NOT the motivating force here.

We have all seven in-print issues – #48 - #54 – currently in stock, HERE.

Yes, we think that "Now" is indeed the time. Later may turn out to be too late...
