The Scrapbook of Life and Death by J. Webster Sharp

Eraserhead-era David Lynch surrealism meets Drew Friedman pointillism in this book of oneiric drawings with hints of underlying narratives that are inspired by selections from a massive series of scrapbooks made up largely of newspaper clippings that were collected 100 years ago.

Just for the record, we want to take a moment to note that this book, while a stunning work, presents page after page of unsettling and disturbing imagery. The images shared here have actually been selected for their relative tameness. More disturbing imagery awaits. So, this book is most definitely not for everyone.

Anyone still interested in taking the plunge, may do so by ordering a copy of the book HERE.

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.
