A small town that isn't quite what it seems comes to life in a profoundly different 2-issue Prestige Format miniseries. Happydale is a small mid-American town like many others...at least on the surface. But slightly below that placid surface, there's something...different. The residents are happy, they all get along, but there's something weird about pretty much all of them, from the circus-level fat ladies to the midgets and giants, from the three-eyed man to the three-headed boy. It doesn't seem like anything can break the peacefulness of Happydale's small-town life, at least until a depraved serial killer and his two psychopathic companions decide to take a break from their desert-wide killing spree and set out to take over the sleepy little town. But these newcomers have bitten off more than they can chew...

Throughout his 25-year career, alternative cartoonist/screenwriter Daniel Clowes has always been ahead of artistic and cultural movements. In the late 1980s his groundbreaking comic book series Eightball defined indie culture with wit, venom, and even a little sympathy. With each successive graphic novel (Ghost World, David Boring, Ice Haven, Wilson, Mister Wonderful ), Clowes has been praised for his emotionally compelling narratives that reimagine the ways that stories can be told in comics. The Art of Daniel Clowes: Modern Cartoonist is the first monograph on this award-winning, New York Times-bestselling creator, compiled with his complete cooperation. It includes all of Clowes's best-known illustrations as well as rare and previously unpublished work, all reproduced from the original art, and also includes essays by noted contributors such as designer Chip Kidd and cartoonist Chris Ware.

Author Edouard Cour revisits one of the greatest Greek myths by painting the often-heroic Herakles as, well . . . somewhat of a jerk. Crude and stubborn at times, in little glimpses we meet a man—half-human, after all—with a psychology more complex than he appears, entangled in guilt over the ghosts who have haunted him since childhood. A mournful sadness seizes him as he crosses the fleeting silhouettes of a woman and her three children. "Friends or foe, all those who cross his path end up stiff and worm food," ​​comments Linos, the ghost of his childhood music teacher. Brimming with pathos and dark humor, this portrait of Herakles is a graphic whirlwind leaving little respite and often revealing beautiful surprises.
