Since the discovery of fantastical dungeons all across Earth, slaying monsters and clearing out dungeons has become a popular pastime. Twenty-seven-year-old Karaboshi Haruki dreams of gaining recognition as an adventurer, but he’s got two monstrous problems: he’s socially invisible and has literally no skills at adventuring. When a dungeon suddenly appears in his garage, however, he finds a skill board that allows him to level up faster. The dungeon-diving adventures Haruki has always dreamed of are just getting started!

After a much-needed vacation, Kei returns to the beat—a boy has gone missing, and his family is desperate to find him. A girl named Sigrún leads him to a mysterious flophouse, and Kei uses his strange affinity with technology to crack the case, this time by communing with cell phones as well as cars. But he has a strange feeling he's visited the apartment before, and tension builds to violence as seemingly unrelated mysteries begin to converge...

Unbeknownst to Kei, his little brother Michitaka has a dark power and an even darker history. Freyja has gone into hiding to escape him, but Kei helps Sigrún track her down—exposing her to potential danger. Meanwhile, a mysterious detective is hot on Michitaka's trail...

Against this backdrop of tension and fear, Kei continues to explore the stark beauty of Iceland, though nothing in his new surroundings could be starker or more beautiful than Lilja. As their mutual antagonism reaches new heights, could something else be developing between them?

When Kei was down with a cold, physically and mentally tired from searching for his missing brother, it was his friend - Lilja - who took care of him. As thanks, Kei invites her on a road trip and he returns home mesmerized not just by the landscape of Iceland’s volcanic craters, but also by Lilja’s singing.

Meanwhile, his brother Mitchitaka appears unexpectedly on his doorstep after a long disappearance. Despite being suspected of three murders, Mitchitaka tells Kei that he is innocent. Will Kei choose to believe in his brother?

There’s never a dull moment on the beach in summer, especially when Ataru and Mendo encounter a beautiful woman looking for her lost child on the bottom of the ocean. Could this be Ryunosuke’s missing mother? Later, Ataru and Ten’s ongoing battle for dominance creates some serious collateral damage when Lum gets hit point-blank with a projectile rice cooker. Will she ever talk to them again?!

Once again, Lum has introduced a bizarre menace to Earth, causing her classmates to quake with fear—a judge who “vanishes” performers whose Hidden Talent Show acts are deemed subpar! Later, Mendo is shocked by the sudden announcement of his arranged marriage to a bride so secret even members of her own family don’t know her!

A woman walks alone at the foot of Mount Sengoku. A man appears, saying he’s been waiting for her, and invites her to a nearby village. Surprisingly, the village is covered in hairlike volcanic glass fibers, and all of it shines a bright gold. At night, when the villagers perform their custom of gazing up at the starry sky, countless unidentified flying objects come raining down on them—the opening act for the terror about to occur!

In this wordless, full-color collection of satiric short comics stories, an internationally acclaimed cartoonist chronicles the waning days of the most famous vampire of them all.

Alberto Breccia's Dracula is composed of a series of brutally funny satirical misadventures starring the hapless eponymous antihero. Literally defanged (a humiliating trip to the dentist doesn't help), the protagonist's glory days are long behind him and other, more sinister villains (a corrupt government, overtly backed by American imperialism) are sickening and draining the life out of the villagers far more than one creature of the night ever could. This is the first painted, full-color entry in Fantagraphics' artist-focused Alberto Breccia Library, and the atmospheric palette adds mood and dimension. It also includes a sketchbook showing the artist's process.

Dracula has no co-author, and so Breccia's carnivalesque vision is as pure Breccia as it gets. Created during the last of a succession of Argentine military dictatorships (1982–1983), this series of short comics stories ran in Spain's Comix Internacional periodical in 1984. The moral purpose of Breccia's expressionistic art style is made explicit; he shows that every ounce of his grotesque, bloated characters' flesh and blood has been cruelly extracted from the less fortunate.

With the Olympics around the corner, the Japan Defense Forces have their hands full. So Jissoji enlists Asa and Kasuga’s help to find, identify and deal with the mysterious creature that decimated Asa’s hometown.

This poetic graphic novel explores the emotional bloodbath of a romance gone awry.

A young man and woman fall for each other and all is sweetness and light. But when their relationship crumbles, they each must endure the ensuing emotional fallout. Starting from this ostensibly simple premise, Bastien Vives crafts an affecting narrative about the mercurial and tempestuous nature of romance and why we pursue it anyway.

The Butchery is composed of the little moments that make and break a relationship: lively dancing, silent strolls hand in hand, stilted phone calls, tearful pillow talk. Rendered with delicate colored pencils and an elegant use of white space, this story achieves an emotional clarity through its skillful brevity. At turns tender, agonizing, and darkly humorous, The Butchery is painfully relatable to anyone who has loved and lost.

Vi lever i en tid besatt av fysisk skönhet. Fotografier – hur vi ser ut på bild – har blivit allt viktigare och kommit att uppta allt större plats i vårt medvetande. Vi kommunicerar genom bilder, dejtar genom bilder, följer andras liv och berättar om vårt eget genom bilder. Alla går runt med en kamera i handen. Vi har alla förvandlats till voyeurer, fast det vi betraktar är oss själva. Sexighet har förvandlats en diffus form av status och kompetens.

Samtidigt som kvinnlig fysisk skönhet är mer spridd och dyrkad än någonsin, genom miljarder fotografier och selfies, är skönheten hotad, eftersom den approprierats av kapitalismen och gjorts till ett konsumtionsobjekt.

Med hjälp av av filosofiska och sociologiska teorier speglar Liv Strömquist vår tids upptagenhet av att vara snygg, och berättar om några kvinnor genom historien vars liv styrts av deras yttre. Gamla Testamentets Rakel, som Josef gifte sig med eftersom hon var vackrare än sin syster. Kejsarinnorna Sisi och Eugénie som tävlade i vem som hade den smalaste midjan och fick hela Europas adelsdamer att följa efter. Snövits mamma som försöker hitta ett sätt att förhålla sig till den fysiska skönhetens förgänglighet. Marilyn Monroe som blev fotograferad naken sex veckor innan sin död, Kim Kardashian som fotograferar sig själv och bysten av drottning Nefertiti som fyller alla som tittar på henne med en känsla av ett gåtfullt, meningslöst begär.

Som ingen annan sätter Liv Strömquist fingret på vår samtid. Det är roligt, insiktsfullt – och allt annat än smickrande.

När Mats farfar dör öppnar familjen för första gången den förslutna och förbjudna svepask som alltid funnits i farfaderns hem. Där ligger renmärkesbevis, brev från lappfogden i Västerbottens län och foton från renskiljningar. Det visar sig att Mats härstammar från en släkt av skogssamer i Malåtrakten. Varför har det varit hemligt? Varför slutade de vara samer? Och varför vet de så lite om sin historia?

Mats Jonsson reser tillbaka i tiden, genom Sveriges, Sápmis och sin egen släkts historia i ett försök att öppna en lucka till sin egen bakgrund. Nitiskt researcharbete ger en bild av hur hans släkt stiger ut ur historiens skuggor i slutet av 1600-talet och bedriver renskötsel på sina lappskatteland i närmare 250 år, medan det svenska samhället ständigt rycker närmare. När Mats farfar växer upp och blir familjens siste renskötare, har skogssamerna berövats sin kulturella identitet och är på väg att begravas i svenskhet. Familjens okunskap visar sig vara resultatet av en medveten politik som svenska staten förde långt in på 1900-talet. Samtidigt som fjällsamerna tilldelades den förnedrande rollen som exotisk urbefolkning, skulle skogssamerna utplånas som kulturell grupp för att ge plats åt nybyggare och skogsbolag. Det var meningen att de skulle glömmas bort.

I När vi var samer fortsätter Mats Jonssons självbiografiska serieprojekt där han upptäcker sitt okända samiska ursprung. Boken blir både en fängslande släktkrönika och en bred, folkbildande skildring av det samiska folkets historia, från att Sápmi växer fram i Nordens norra delar till att svenskarna koloniserar området söderifrån och med olika strategier tvingar samerna att passa in i ett ständigt föränderligt Sverige.

Mats Jonsson är född 1973 och uppvuxen i Kramfors. Han har skildrat sitt liv i sex kritikerhyllade serieromaner, senast Nya Norrland (2017). Han skriver också barnböcker, bland annat Blod i gruset (2019) om skotten i Ådalen. Mats Jonsson bor i Sandslån i Ådalen och har som mål att skildra hela sitt liv i serieform.

I ett försök att åter igen ta herraväldet över gallernas by skickar Caesar Semper Batallius, till det närliggande lägret Aquarium. Semper Batallius skall slå en tvedräkt över gallerna så bybornas enighet försvinner så att den romerska armen kan invadera byn.

Privatdetektiven John Blacksad är en bra katt som försöker göra det rätta i en ond värld, vare sig fallet gäller en mördad filmstjärna, en kidnappad liten flicka eller stulna atomhemligheter. Inte konstigt om många tycker att han sticker nosen i saker han borde haft vett att hålla sig undan. En sak är säker: Blacksad kommer att behöva alla sina nio liv i jakten på sanningen.

Blacksads värld är efterkrigstidens USA, befolkat av människor i djurskepnad, där arten avspeglar såväl personligheten som figurens roll i berättelsen. En plats och en tid där rasism, poliskorruption och politiska skumraskaffärer hör till vardagen. Seriens bild- berättande, dialoger och intriger bär många gemensamma drag med 1940-talets hårdkokta amerikanska kriminalfilmer.

Blacksad har vunnit en lång rad priser och serien har översatts till närmare 30 språk. I denna samlingsvolym ingår de fem första albumen ursprungligen utgivna från 2000-2013, samt ett par korta historier och ett kapitel med ett urval av Juanjo Guarnidos skisser.
