Fantagraphics had a great display of their titles at Comic-Con International in San Diego. Here's more of their featured offerings from their Winter 2025 Catalog!
Search and Destroy Vol. 2 is the second volume in manga creator Atsushi Kaneko’s cyberpunk retelling of the timeless, Eisner Award–winning Dororo by “God of Manga” Osamu Tezuka!
This authorized retelling updates the rebellious '60s spirit of the original Dororo to the equally tumultuous 2020s, mixing Tezuka's signature dark yet playful storytelling sense with Kaneko's own wide range of influences which include Western cartoonists like Daniel Clowes and Charles Burns as well as filmmakers like David Lynch.
Meet Tedward — a blockhead with a heart of gold, and a talent for making bad situations worse.
A spiritual cousin to the humor of Simon Hanselmann and Daniel Clowes, Josh Pettinger’s singularity of tone and style in these episodic comedies mark him as a master cartoonist just entering his prime.
The Santos Sisters fight crime, date guys, and try to just deal with day-to-day life as young women in a world of deadly assassins, roided-up footballers, zombie attacks, organized crime, and more — while their creators, Greg & Fake, help restore the concept of unabashed fun in comic books with a healthy infusion of nostalgia and laughs. Collecting the first five issues of the charmingly weird and weirdly charming hit indie comic book series!
Set in a not-so-distant future where the State polices people’s emotions, this dystopian graphic novel explores themes of mental health, queer identity, and the dangers of unchecked fascism. The English debut of Swedish comics artist Bim Eriksson, Baby Blue is drawn in a delightfully twisted, sad girl style and suffused with pop music and other cultural touchstones!
Dazzling to the eye, Season of the Roses by Chloé Wary is at once a deeply felt coming-of-age story and an inspirational rallying cry for young women living in a man’s world.
Inspired by the author’s experiences, it is an authentic portrayal of a teenager at a crossroads. Her dazzling illustrations, drawn in colorful felt-tip pens, encompass the thrills of playing soccer as well as the angst of navigating life off the field.
Coupling the grand guignol morality of Paul Schrader and Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver with the squashed black-and-white perspectives and grotesque human physiognomy (and humanity) that defines Chester Gould's Dick Tracy, Martí's The Cabbie (starring the eponymous "hero" known only as the Cabbie) was first published in installments in 1980s Spain, a product of a life lived under, and coming out of, Franco's fascist dictatorship.
Ultra violent, ultra profane, and ultra vicious, The Cabbie is filled with scummy noir characters exaggerated to the absolute limit — and the worst of them all might be the titular cabbie, precisely because, not unlike Travis Bickle, he sees himself as a force for good.
There have been various incomplete English editions over the last four decades, but this is the definitive Cabbie saga published in English for the first time, complete with "extras," including a cover gallery!
Skin is the striking debut graphic novel by writer Mieke Versyp and illustrator Sabien Clement, a captivating portrait of two women in search of themselves.
In this seamless collaboration, poetic turns of phrase pair with impressionistic watercolors, creating a tangible intimacy between words and imagery. Keen observation and dynamic artistry combine to tell a tender story of the human condition, as playful and devastating as life itself.
In a parallel reality—in a dystopian future—scavengers rule the Earth: pals like Mickey and Goofy are salvaging rare fuel from the seafloor, and rogues like Peg Leg Pete are fighting to get it first!
The European writer/artist team of Denis-Pierre Filippi and Silvio Camboni present an incredible new Mickey Mouse graphic novel — at once reflecting the Golden Age of comics past, and presenting awesome steampunk sights like no Disney fan has seen before!
