New Arrivals from Top Shelf!

MOVING PICTURES by Kathryn & Stuart Immonen
-- A 144-Page Graphic Novel with French Flaps, $14.95 (US)
-- Diamond: MAR10-1136
-- ISBN 978-1-60309-049-0

During the Second World War, French efforts to inventory, categorize and hide the collections of the major galleries collided with the German Military Art Commission’s attempt to do the same. Moving Pictures is the story of the awkward and dangerous relationship between curator Ila Gardner and officer Rolf Hauptmann, as they are forced by circumstances to play out their private lives in a public power struggle. The narrative unfolds along two timelines which collide with the revelation of a terrible secret, an enigmatic decision that not many would make, and the realization that sometimes the only choice left is the refusal to choose.

BB WOLF & THE 3 LPs by J.D. Arnold & Rich Koslowski
-- A 96-Page, Hardcover Graphic Novel, $12.95 (US)
-- Diamond: MAR10-1137
-- ISBN 978-1-60309-029-2

A farmer and family man by day, blues musician by night, and a drinker of fine spirits at any hour, BB's life seemed simple. But this fragile peace comes crashing down when the LPs decide to take his land by any means possible. When all is lost, BB lashes out, setting into motion acts of revenge only a Big Bad Wolf could unleash. Rich Koslowski (award-winning creator of Three Fingers and The King) brings to life this haunting debut from writer J.D. Arnold. Set in the Mississippi Delta of the 1920s, BB Wolf and the 3 LPs is a classic story of racism, murder, revenge, and music... all filtered through the clever re-telling of a timeless fairytale.
