1519. A Spanish fleet leaves Seville, heading west. Portuguese Captain Magellan is convinced of the existence of a South American strait that will expedite trade with the Indonesian Spice Islands. Months later, in a deserted and inhospitable land, mutiny brews, two men are marooned and the world explodes in a riot of hallucinatory colour. Antoine Cossé's most substantial work to date is a fascinating drama, examining one of history's most intriguing mysteries. "A sprawling masterwork. Brilliant." - Sammy Harkham

A collection of manga examining Japan's fascination with nuclear power and its dangers and possibilities. FUKUSHIMA DEVIL FISH: ANTI-NUCLEAR MANGA, the fifth volume in the Breakdown Press manga line, collects Katsumata Susumu's nuclear energy related work from the '80s and '90s, produced in the wake of investigative news reports about unreported accidents and dangerous working conditions at Japan's nuclear power plants. Two outstanding works in the collection, "Deep Sea Fish" (1984) and "Devil Fish" (1989), are poetic stories treating the daily trials of maintenance and janitorial workers at Japan's nuclear plants. Due to poor pay, hazardous working conditions, and migrant status, these workers were commonly known as "nuclear gypsies" and "irradiated labourers." As explained in an accompanying essay by translator and historian Ryan Holmberg, these "gypsies" became politicized symbols in the late 1970s and '80s, embodying as they did the fact that all was not sound in an industry that vigorously promoted itself as perfectly "clean and safe."

In 1981 St Martin's Press published After Man, the first edition of palaeontologist Dougal Dixon's vision of an 'alternative evolution': one without mankind. To some, this was seen as sacrilege, but Dixon himself only ever saw the decision to obliterate his own species from his vision as a practical one.

Yuichi Yokoyama is critically acclaimed for his kinetic gekiga comics, and his work has been exhibited across Europe, Asia and North America. Now, he further pushes the boundaries of what the comics medium can do with Outdoors – a clamorous fixation with the passage of time.
“My dialogue doesn't have humanism, but it has the spiritual. However, on the other hand, you can see they are without the spiritual. It is up to each reader's interpretation. ... I would like each reader to construe my works freely.” – Yuichi Yokoyama
Yuichi Yokoyama’s avant-garde gekiga (‘dramatic pictures’) comics are described unanimously as loud. The acclaimed artist has a clear fixation with sound and time – and an unbelievable eye for bringing such abstract concepts to life in panel form. Choosing to focus less on story and character building, Yokoyama uncannily shows the passing of time, suggesting that we should simply see things without labelling them. His work would feel Zen if it weren’t so acute. If he were a musician, he would be John Cage.
In Outdoors, our senses are assaulted as we follow a human riding a missile through a busy landscape – complete with sound effects – and experience this mad world from within the ears and eyes of the speechless people dotted throughout. Wordless, but anything but quiet, Outdoor is a relentless sound poem from a master craftsman.

<li>Yokoyama’s gekiga comics are unlike any other work being published today and completely push the edges of what the cartooning medium can do.</li>
<li>With over 10 books translated into French and English and widespread critical acclaim, Yokoyama finally begins to receive the international attention his work deserves.</li>
<li>The artist has work held in permanent collections across Japan and has exhibited in major galleries in Ireland, France, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, the USA, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, The Philippines and South Korea.</li>

The first collection of Windowpane, Joe Kessler's critically-acclaimed series of progressive narrative comics, is a showcase of the cartoonist's mastery of form and colour. 
Windowpane is Joe Kessler's one-man-anthology of short-narrative, experimental, sometimes-allegorical comics. Collecting material from previous issues, this beautiful edition printed in offset lithography is the perfect backdrop for Kessler's quietly disconcerting, hallucinogenic work. It is a visual delight that showcases the unrestrained talent and mastery of one of the UK's most exciting cartoonists.

The Artist returns! Haifisch’s idiosyncratic, episodic comic chronicles the experiences of a young artist in his formative years, satirizing the exclusive, ephemeral and frequently absurd world of fine art. Plagued by doubts and anxiety, the artist is confronted with constant setbacks punctuated by occasional, surprising glimpses of recognition.

The Pits of Hell collects eight stories published between 1969 and 1981. Bold, absurd and all too real, Ebisu Yoshikazus work feels distinctly underground, almost punk. The collection features a foreword by Minami Shinbo and an essay by Ryan Holmberg plus a retrospective essay by Ebisu Yoshikazu in which he offers background on each of the stories.
