Drawn & Quarterly has announced its release schedule for Fall 2015, which includes new graphic novels by Shigeru Mizuki and Guy Delisle among others.
Manga-ka Shigeru Mizuki (Kitaro, Showa, A History of Japan) latest project is a biographical overview of Adolph Hitler’s life. The 296-page, black and white Shigeru Mizuki’s Hitler will arrive in stores in November. MSRP is $24.95.
Drawn & Quarterly has already released two ironic parenting guides from Guy Delisle (see "'Even More Bad Parenting'"), and now The Owner's Manual to Terrible Parenting will offer parents even more comic relief in August. The 204-page, black and white paperback has MSRP $12.95.
Puke Force by Brian Chippendale is a dark social satire told in single-page strips. Built around an incident involving a coffee shop bombing, Chippendale views the incident from different perspectives, looking at each table in the shop and visiting past moments that lead patrons to the present event. The author takes on social media narcissism, government propaganda, racism, and other social issues as he weaves the story together into a coherent whole. The 120-page, black and white hardcover will release in October. MSRP is $22.95.
A new paperback edition of the Harvey-nominated gekiga classic Red Colored Elegy by Seiichi Hayashi (see "Yoshihiro Tatsumi Autobiography") will release in August. The 240-page, black and white paperback has MSRP $19.95.
The publisher is also planning new fall editions of Pippi Longstocking: The Strongest in the World! ($22.95) and a colorized reworking of Moomin Mamma’s Maid ($9.95).
D&Q previously announced Kate Beaton’s Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection (see "'Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection'") and Adrian Tomine’s Killing and Dying (see "'Killing and Dying'") for fall release.
