NBM Publishing’s upcoming releases include The Lighthouse by Paco Roca,  Equinoxes by Cyril Pedrosa, a biography of pianist Glenn Gould, as well as paperback collections of Dungeon: Twilight and Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde.

Paco Roca is a Spanish cartoonist best known for his graphic novel Wrinkles which was adapted into an Oscar-nominated animated film in Spain. The story of The Lighthouse is set during the Spanish Civil War, when wounded Republican guard veteran Francisco is trying to flee to freedom by escaping to France.  On his journey he comes across an old remote lighthouse, where the aging lighthouse operator Telmo grants him shelter.  While Francisco recuperates, Telmo regales him with tales of his past adventures.

The 6” x 9,” 64-page hardcover has an MSRP of $15.99. Release is planned for February.

More immediately, NBM will release Equinoxes by European comics artist Cyril Pedrosa. The collection is divided into four tableaux for four seasons, where unrelated people seeking equilibrium cross paths with other solitary individuals, weaving in and out of one another’s lives. Each season has a unique visual identity and voice, culminating in the summer season, where the final answers may be revealed.

The 9” x 12”, 336-page, full color hardcover has an MSRP of $44.99. Release is planned for September

In December, Glenn Gould: A Life Off Tempo by Sandrine Revel will release.
