At long last, this underground Japanese classic has been translated into English. A seminal work of manga from the mid-1980s, Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby is a Candide-esque tale--if you can picture Candide as a mutated sperm brought to life by radioactivity. Unremittingly explicit, this is the comics equivalent of Henry Miller at his best: direct, honest and insightful while simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. Tokyo-based Takashi Nemoto, who was born in 1958, has been called the R. Crumb of Japan: Nemoto and Crumb share a similar, surreal drawing style and pessimistic, satirical stance, for which both have faced their share of negative criticism. Due to his unapologetically squalid subject matter, Nemoto has long been a controversial figure in Japan--clashing violently with mainstream Japanese morals--and is just now receiving some critical success there. Reviewers are finally looking past his gross-out humor to find far-flung influences and connections like Mark Twain, Otto Dix and Andre Masson.

Never before printed or exhibited, Donald Baechler's early drawings--casually sketched, mostly in bars and restaurants--are loose, informal records of the artist working out his characteristic iconography: trees, globes, heads... One hundred images are presented in this sumptuous volume--including the fascinating hand-constructed slides Baechler uses as reference.

History & Criticism

The modern world has created a disconnect between the world outside the window and the world that is viewed on the screen. Brian Chippendale's new graphic novel addresses this problem; creating the fascinating new world of Grave City; here kids are hooked on computer games and obesity and inter social strife is rampant. A cafe is blown up in an act of terrorism. The reverberations of this deadly explosion are felt throughout the city as a growing darkness is manifested as both a spiritual and physical evil. But out of this sour stew comes a team of positive minded weirdos to sort things.

Powr Mastrs 4 continues C.F.'s exploration of the lives and activities of the denizens of the ever shifting and potentially mystical realm of New China. Characters not seen since Volume 1 will reappear and a central part of this volume is an extended steampunk erotic sequence that harkens back to Victoriana as well as forward to sci-fi ideas that have not yet been conceived. These sequences are all depicted in C.F's signature delicate lines and immaculate compositions that combine the harsh geometries of Donald Judd with the lush figuration of John Currin.
