As the visits to the mother become more and more silent, Lika Nüssli begins drawing the people around her. The artist finds the life-drawn body fascinating, and the conversations, sentences and phrases are wonderfully absurd. At first, she found it difficult to stay in the home for longer than necessary. That has changed with the drawing. The result is a drawn narrative about remembering, forgetting and about the migration cosmos in retirement homes. It is not a reportage in classical form, but rather a poetic realization of the states of being and a search for new pictorial languages. -- Call no.: PN6757.N79V4 2018 Nüssli, Lika, 1973- SWISS COMIC BOOKS, STRIPS, ETC. ----------------------------------------------------- Son of Hitler / story, Anthony Del Col & Geoff Moore ; art, Jeff McComsey ; letters, Jeff McClelland. -- Portland, OR : Image Comics, 2018. -- 1 v. : col. ill. ; 24 cm. -- Summary (from OCLC): What if someone told you your biological father was the most evil man alive?

Daraufhin begannen sich jüdische Partisaneneinheiten im Bialystok und in den umliegenden Wäldern zu formieren und um ihr Überleben zu kämpfen. Als im August 1943 die deutschen Truppen das Ghetto liquidieren wollten, stießen sie auf den erbitterten Widerstand von Kampfgruppen der linkszionistischen Haschomer Hazair, der Kommunisten und des sozialdemokratischen Bunds. Im Juli 1944 marschierten diese gemeinsam mit der Roten Armee im befreiten Bialystok ein. Der letzte Weg ist eine in dreijähriger Arbeit recherchierte und gezeichnete Geschichte nach den Erinnerungen von Chaika Grossman und Chasia Bornstein Bielicka, die als 'Verbindungsmädchen' im 'arischen' Teil der Stadt lebten, um Waffen und Medikamente zu organisieren und die Kommunikation mit den anderen Ghettos und Widerstandsgruppen aufrecht zu erhalten." -- Historical genre, about the Bialystok Ghetto Uprising of 1943. -- Call no.: PN6757.F34L4 2019 Bialystok (Poland). ----------------------------------------------------- Your Black Friend and Other Strangers / Ben Passmore. -- San Francisco, CA : Silver Sprocket, 2018. -- 119 p. : col. ill. ; 24 cm -- Summary (from OCLC): Passmore masterfully tackles comics about race, gentrification, the prison system, online dating, gross punks, bad street art, kung fu movie references, beating up God, and lots of other grown-up stuff with refreshing doses of humor and lived relatability. -- Contents: As way of... introduction ; Your black friend ; It's not about you ; OK stoopd! ; I don't want no smoke ; Art is shit ; A letter from a Stone Mountain jail ; No justice, just us! ; When Trump Trumps family ; The last defender ; Take em down ; Ally I need is love ; Whose free speech? ; A Pantomine horse I ; Mrsa & Billy ; Ben and the porn ; The punk lord ; Nolimitz vs Gawd ; Goodbye ; The vampire ; Goodbye, for real this time tho ; As way of... conclusion. -- Alternative genre, about group identity and racism. -- Call no.: E185.625.P372 2018 ----------------------------------------------------- Drogen / Walter Moers. -- Frankfurt am Main : Eichborn Verlag, 1995. -- 32 p. : col. ill. ; 14 cm. -- (Schöner Leben mit dem kleinen Arschloch) -- About drugs. -- Call no.: PN6757.M6S362 1995 ----------------------------------------------------- Berlin : City of Smoke / Jason Lutes. -- Montréal, Quebec : Drawn and Quarterly, 2008. -- 210 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. -- (Berlin ; 2) -- "Originally serialized in the comic book Berlin, in issues 9 through 16." -- "The second of volume of Jason Lutes' historical epic finds the people of Weimar Berlin searching for answers after the lethal May Day demonstration of 1929.
