Softcover. Seattle, Fantagraphics Books, 1st, 2014, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 64 pages. In the vein of the old underground comix like ZAP or Weirdo, author Joe Sacco promises that BUMF will go where it needs to go, and do what it needs to do." Though world-famous for his serious, journalistic books like Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde, and Footnotes in Gaza, Bumf promises to echo back to Sacco's earlier days as a satirist and underground cartoonist.

Often puerile, disgusting, and beyond redemption, Sacco apologized in advance, saying he couldn't help himself. "They expect better things from me. They'll never put me on a stamp now

Hardcover. Montreal, Drawn and Quarterly, 1st, 2014, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 120 pages, illustrated throughout in b&w. Light shelf-wear to covers, else a clean, tight copy. The Love and Rockets author, Gilbert Hernandez, returns with Bumperhead, a companion book to Marble Season. Whereas Marble Season explored the exuberant and occasionally troubled existence of the wide-eyed preteen Huey, Bumperhead zeroes in on disaffected teenhood with its protagonist, Bobby.Bumperhead follows Bobby, a young slacker who narrates his life as it happens but offers very little reflection on the events that transpire. He lives in the moment exclusively and is incapable of seeing the world outside of his experiences. He comes of age in the 1970s, making a rapid progression through that era's different subcultures and in a short period of time segues from a stoner glam rocker to a drunk rocker to a speed-freak punk. He drifts in and out of relationships with friends, both male and female. Life zooms past him.Hernandez's approach captures the numbness and raw undirected anger and passion of a young man who waits for life to happen to him, not noticing all the while that it is happening. Subtle and thought-provoking, Bumperhead is a fascinating read.
