Drawn & Quarterly's Spring 2020 catalog includes a handful of books not included in their midsummer announcements (see "Drawn and Quarterly Announces New Titles for 2020"). Here’s a look at four new titles that will be coming out next year.
Little Lulu: The Fuzzythingus Poopi, by John Stanley, brings back the classic Little Lulu comics, first published by Dell in the 1940s and 1950s. This is the second of D+Q’s collected editions of Stanley’s Little Lulu comics. The 272-page, full-color hardcover is scheduled for August 2020 and will have an MSRP of $29.95.
Nori, by Rumi Hara, is set in the suburbs of Osaka, Japan, in the 1980s and stars a three-year-old girl with a vivid imagination who spends her days with her grandmother, whose traditional stories bring an air of magic to their adventures. Nori chases a rabbit while dressed as the moon, encounters strange creatures in a roadside ditch, and invites bats into her house. Hara won the MoCCA Arts Festival Award of Excellence in 2018. The full-color, 228-page paperback will be released in May 2020 with an MSRP of $24.95.
Moms, by Yeong-Shin Ma, is a black comedy about three women in their 50s who are tired of their jobs, homes, and husbands and are ready to take a walk on the wild side. Ma tosses the stereotype of middle-aged moms out the window and instead shows his heroines having affairs, hitting the clubs, and getting into fights. Moms is scheduled for June 2020 and will be a 376-page paperback with an MSRP of $24.95.
