We’ve been very quiet lately. That’s because we’re brewing up some amazing things behind the scenes. This morning (Friday, 6/15) Uncivilized Books & La Mano are packing into a car and driving to the Windy City in time for some CAKE: the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo! All weekend we’ll be showing off some of our recent efforts. Here’s what you can expect to see:
July Diary by Gabrielle Bell. One comic for every day of the month of July. Who knew one month could pack such a punch! Includes several pages of Gabrielle’s process comics. 40 pages!
Structures 12-23 by Vincent Stall. The response to the first volume of the Structures series was overwhelming. We decided to expand it into a series. We’re inviting some of our favorite artists & cartoonists to contribute a Structures book of their own.
Cartoon Dialectics Vol. 2 by Tom Kaczynski. We sold out of the first edition of this very quickly. We decided to go back to print. It’s got a new cover and the whole thing was printed by the blood, sweat and tears of Zak Sally on his infamous La Mano press.
Before CAKE even starts, Gabrielle and Tom are going to be at Brain Trouble doing some live drawing or reading panels or both or neither. In any case, they’ll be there!
If you’re in Chicago, please come and visit our table (#27). Gabrielle & Tom K are going to be hanging out at our table and will be happy to sign books and answer questions about the tools we use, French literature, New Wave film, the crisis of Capitalism and the future of architecture. Feel free to bring your own favorite topics. See you there!
