Long Island, carries her to Greenwich Village in the
1960's, and to California, land of hippy cartoonists, and
on to a more or less sedate life with hubby (equally
legendary R. Crumb) and daughter, Sophie. Her funny/sad
tales show a woman bewildered by her place in society and
determined to find her own way. These stories touch on
every phase of her existence from childhood, to sexual
obsessions, food, motherhood and, of course, her art. --

Sex Pistols : the Graphic Novel / written by Jim McCarthy ;

SkyRiver): Explosive graphic novel about the rise and fall
of The Sex Pistols. Thanks to Steve Parkhouse's wonderfully
vivid illustrations and Jim McCarthy's clever distillation
of the script that rewrote rock 'n' roll and much else
besides, the Pistols' story returns to the rough and tumble
of the comic strip from which it derived so much of its
initial inspiration. England's original punks explode from
the pages with the same disrespect for authority that had
the British establishment up in arms during the Queen's
25th anniversary jubilee. And no one would have enjoyed
this take on the Pistols more than the tale's real
casualty, Sid Vicious, who devoured comics almost as much
as he did the destructive stuff.-- Call no.: ML421.S47M43

Crockett Johnson and Ruth Krauss : How an Unlikely Couple

bibliographical references (p. 303-340) and index. --
Summary (from SkyRiver): Crockett Johnson (born David
Johnson Leisk, 1906-1975) and Ruth Krauss (1901-1993) were
a husband-and-wife team that created such popular
children's books as The Carrot Seed and How to Make an
Earthquake. Separately, Johnson created the enduring
children's classic Harold and the Purple Crayon and the
groundbreaking comic strip Barnaby. Krauss wrote over a
dozen children's books illustrated by others, and pioneered
the use of spontaneous, loose-tongued kids in children's
literature. Together, Johnson and Krauss's style--whimsical
writing, clear and minimalist drawing, and a child's
point-of-vie. -- Call no.: PS3519 .O224Z77 2012

Drawing the Line : Using Cartoons as Historical Evidence /
edited by Richard Scully and Marian Quartly. -- Clayton,
Vic. : Monash University ePress, 2009. -- 1 v. : ill. ; 25
cm. -- Includes bibliographical references and index. --
"Brings together essays from international scholars
working with cartoons in their research and teaching. It is
a showcase for some of the best recent scholarship in this
field, with articles exploring racial and ethnic
stereotypes, as well as representations of youth, gender
and class across a number of key historical epochs.
Cartoons are among the most vivid and familiar images of
past politics and opinion, but tend to be used merely as
'illustrations' for historical works. Drawing the Line,
however, provides a comprehensive introduction to the study
of cartoons as sources in their own right. The British
Regency Crisis, post-Civil War US politics, Anglo-Iraqi
interaction in the Second World War, and Yugoslav Communist
propaganda are just some of the themes through which the
effective use of cartoons in historical writing is
explored." -- Call no.: NC1325.D73 2009

The Road to Woodbury / Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga. --

277 p. ; 25 cm. -- (The Walking Dead) -- Summary (from
publisher via SkyRiver): "The zombie plague unleashes its
horrors on the suburbs of Atlanta without warning, pitting
the living against the dead. Caught in the mass exodus,
Lilly Caul struggles to survive in a series of ragtag
encampments and improvised shelters. But the Walkers are
multiplying. Dogged by their feral hunger for flesh and
crippled by fear, Lilly relies on the protection of good
Samaritans by seeking refuge in a walled-in town once known
as Woodbury, Georgia. At first, Woodbury seems like a
perfect sanctuary. Squatters barter services for food,
people have roofs over their heads, and the barricade
expands, growing stronger every day. Best of all, a
mysterious self-proclaimed leader named Philip Blake keeps
the citizens in line. But Lilly begins to suspect that all
is not as it seems. Blake, who has recently begun to call
himself The Governor, has disturbing ideas about law and
order. Ultimately, Lilly and a band of rebels open up a
Pandora's box of mayhem and destruction when they challenge
The Governor's reign. and the road to Woodbury becomes the
highway to hell in this riveting follow-up to the New York
Times bestselling The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor."

The Love and Rockets Companion : 30 years (and Counting) /
edited by Marc Sobel and Kristy Valenti. -- Seattle, WA :
Fantagraphics Books, 2013. -- 366 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. --
Includes genealogical tables on dust jacket. -- Summary
(from SkyRiver): The Love and Rockets Companion: 30 Years
(and Counting) contains three incredibly in-depth and
candid interviews with creators Gilbert, Jaime and Mario
Hernandez: one conducted by writer Neil Gaiman (Coraline);
one conducted some six years into the comic's run by
longtime L&R publisher Gary Groth; and one conducted by the
book's author, spanning Gilbert's, Jaime's and Mario's
careers, and looking to the future of the ongoing series,
with a follow-up conversation with Groth. This book has
foldout family trees for both Gilbert's Palomar and Jaime's
Locas storylines; unpublished art; a character glossary
(which is handy, considering that Gilbert alone has created
50+ characters!); highlights from the original series'
anarchic letters columns; timelines; and the most
wide-ranging Hernandez Brothers bibliography ever compiled,
including album and DVD covers, posters and more. The
obsessive-yet-accessible detail and high production values
make it a must-have for comics collectors, scholars,
libraries and old and new fans alike: for those new to the
series, it will make jumping in seem less daunting. For
longtime fans, it clears up confusion that even those
devoted to the groundbreaking alternative comic over its
30-year run can experience, given the sheer amount of
material and sophisticated storytelling techniques (such as
flashbacks, flash forwards, elliptical narrative and
magical realism). -- Call no.: PN6727.H4 Z5L6 2013
