Rage of Poseidon, by Anders Nilsen, will be an accordion hardcover with "a collection of Greek myths and Christian parables, sort of reworked in a very modern style using silhouettes," D&Q Editorial and Marketing Manager Julia Pohl-Miranda told ICv2.
It’s also due in mid-September, and will premiere at SPX and Brooklyn Book Festival.
Palookaville #21, by Seth, will also debut at SPX and is composed of three parts. "The first part is a continuation of Part 4 of Clyde Fans, where you see the two brothers sit down for the first time and talk," Pohl-Miranda said. "The second part is a collection of strips from his rubber stamp diaries. He had a bunch of rubber stamps made of his own drawings and then he uses that as a base for drawing little pieces about his life. And it’s not like a daily diary, it’s just something that he does when he has something in his mind at the end of the day and it’s a really interesting perspective on his work. Then the third piece is the beginning of an autobiographical piece about Seth’s childhood, which is done in the style of Wimbledon Green and GNBCC - The Great Northern Brotherhood of Canadian Cartoonists."
Showa 1926 – 1939: A History of Japan by Shigeru Mizuki is due in November. "It mingles cultural history, personal autobiography and historical content for a really interesting, broad-spanning perspective on Japanese history in the Pre-WWII period as growing militarization was going on in the country," Pohl-Miranda said.
Ant Colony, by Michael DeForge, was serialized online as Ant Comic and will be released in book form in January. "It is our first book with Michael DeForge, we’re thrilled to be publishing him," Pohl-Miranda said. "He’s a young cartoonist who really emerged with a fully developed style of his own, and we’re so happy to be working with him on this book."
