Flung Out Of Space: Inspired By The Indecent Adventures of Patricia Highsmith by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer. Abrams ComicArts, 2022. 9781419744334. 208pp. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781419744334?partnerid=34778&p_bt

I only know Highsmith from her books, and I've only read a few of her more popular novels. So it was a little strange to read the author's note at the front of this fictionalized graphic biography, in which Ellis notes "...Highsmith was an appalling person." Apparently Highsmith was, like her most famous characters, a charismatic sociopath. I wasn't sure I'd finish the book. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Templar's black and white and orange art is beautiful, and the pace of the book is masterful. I'm sure many will be drawn to the depiction of Highsmith's life as a lesbian in the early 20th Century US, which was informative and entertaining and wow am I glad things have changed. (She even meets a lover in a group therapy session for women with her "problem." Ha.) But my favorite thing about the book is that Highsmith wrote comic books during the Golden Age, which I hadn't known before. Stan Lee makes a notable appearance. (I really hope that bit of the book is absolutely true.) And throughout Highsmith is determined to make it as a writer -- she sees herself as a writer of good novels with criminal elements, not a writer of crime novels. Her attitude is often appalling, sure, but I have to say I didn't walk away hating her, and I do highly recommend this graphic novel.

Authors @elizabethcolomba and @aurelielevy1's meticulous details—in both story and art—bring Saint-Clair’s story to life in a tense narrative, against a sometimes bloody backdrop of jazz and voodoo. Tackling themes of colonization, corruption, police violence, and racial identity, QUEENIE celebrates the genius of a woman forgotten by history.

if you are looking for something to read, i would strongly suggest these two graphics novels. IT'S LONELY AT THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH is a dizzyingly metaphoric autobiography that really takes you deep into the author's head and heart. THE NIGHT EATERS is a powerfully compelling drama from the brilliant and many times award winning duo behind MONSTRESS, Sana Takeda and Marjorie Liu. these are stand alone novels and make great prezzies for yourself or others! #imagecomics #abramscomicarts #zoethorogood #marjorieliu #monstress #sanatakeda #eisnerawards #ringoawards #hugoawards #previewsexclusive https://www.instagram.com/p/Clgt-fgpXoc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I read this new graphic novel by @brianmbendis & Andre Lima Araujo yesterday. I’ve been a fan of both creators for a while and this is exactly the kind of weird science fiction comic that I love. Give me a story that explores a weird writing as much as it features compelling characters in an engaging adventure with beautiful art and I’m there! I’m particularly pleased to see Bendis pushing himself to tell different kinds of stories with this and Joy Division. Highly recommended. #thismakesmehappy #books #2022reading #bookstagram #comics #graphicnovel #phenomena #goldencityofeyes #phenomenabook1 #brianmichaelbendis #andrelimaaraujo #sciencefiction #sciencefictioncomics #abramscomicarts https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci-e4aOrK4I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Phenomena Book One: The Golden City Of Eyes by Brian Michael Bendis and André Lima Araújo. Abrams ComicArts, 2022. 9781419761690. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781419761690?partnerid=34778&p_bt

Something happened, and now our world is a place filled with strange creatures large and small, plus anthropomorphic animals and alien beings as well as humans. It feels like technology doesn't work anymore, like it's been replaced by living (possibly magical?) vehicles that fly, a place for swords and armor and such, but that's all not quite true and the truth of the world feels both elusive and stranger. (If that sounds like an homage to the work of French artist Moebius, it is, which Araújo makes obvious at times though he also more than makes this book a unique and beautiful thing all its own.) Oh and stories are a form of currency in the book, which is a lot of fun.

After Boldon (a boy) sees the Cyper warrior Spike fight for a meal, Spike's blade is stolen by a thief, Mathilde, who escapes on a jetpack. Boldon tries to help Spike, and the pair end up setting off after blade together, toward The Golden City of Eyes, despite the fact that Spike absolutely hates Boldon's voice. Along they way they run afoul of an otherwordly, villainous posse whose members are also after Matilde, and there's a more powerful enemy or two later in the book as well.

The violence is fairly cartoony, the plot is lighthearted, and characters' banter feels genuine. If you don't know Bendis's work you should check this out, it may make you love superhero comics again -- or look for his Ultimate Spider-Man or Powers, they're also great places to start. Araújo has worked on comics for Marvel, DC, and others, and I enjoyed the series he created with Rick Remender, A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance. His art is spectacular, and never more so than when he's working in black and white like in Phenomena. This graphic novel will particularly appeal to anyone who loves Last Man or Bone, or who has gotten a little old for Kazu Kibuishi's Amulet.

THE SIMPSONS TREEHOUSE OF HORROR OMINOUS OMNIBUS VOL. 2 comic form Abrams ComicArts! #comics #TheSimpsons @AbramsComicArts https://ow.ly/LL4o50OKzS2

[comicconcierge]

Communte: a comic centered on someone recounting their commute to work may sound like an avant garde project gone wrong but that is just a loose framework to this memoir that was an enlightening read as well as a devastating one. Erin Williams is open and honest to the point her vernabilty speaks to you on a deep level. An example of how art can be a powerful tool to evoke empathy. She speaks of her past and the way men have imprisoned her and women within a confined society with a twisted understanding of sexuality. Her faults are there as well as we bare witness to her follies. And it all leads to a rather uncomfortable read but a necessary one to experience. A work that puts into perspective what privilege is and can lead to. One of those books that make you rethink the way you see the world and act within it. #Comic #graphicnovel #ComicReview #Commute #erinwilliams #abramscomicarts #igcomiccommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/B4qma3QBtwB/?igshid=9szq3bkp1m67
