The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman
The Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father's story. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in 'drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust' (The New York Times).
This combined, definitive edition includes Maus I: A Survivor's Tale and Maus II.
Is She Available? by Igor Goldkind
This book is a ground-breaking collection of poetry, art, music, spoken word, and video. It’s a collaboration between Igor Goldkind and 15 artists from the world of comics, fantasy and fine art such as Glenn Fabry, Wendy Farrrow, Rian Hughes, David Lloyd, Liam Sharp and more, including an original cover and interior illustrations by Bill Sienkiewicz all packaged in a design by Rian Hughes. Goldkind made graphic novels acceptable in the British media in the late 80s with titles such as Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns and now his vision of what a graphic novel could be is returning. Not with a comic or a graphic novel but with something completely revolutionary.
The Antifa Comic Book: 100 Years of Facism and Antifa Movements by Gord Hill
The shocking images of neo-Nazis marching in Charlottesville, North Carolina, in the summer of 2017 linger in the mind, but so do those of the passionate protestors who risked their lives to do the right thing. In this stirring graphic non-fiction book by the acclaimed author of The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book, Gord Hill looks at the history of fascism over the last hundred years, and the concurrent antifa movements that work fastidiously to topple it.
Kobane Calling by Zerocalcare
Kobane Calling is a short graphic novel telling the story of cartoon artist Zerocalcare’s trip to Bakur during the battle for Kobane in Rojava in 2014. This comic is a humorous and beautiful introduction to the Rojava revolution in Northern Syria – a revolution which has placed women’s right and grassroots democracy at its centre. It is one episode of a much larger book recounting Zerocalcare’s trip across Bakur and Rojava to witness the revolutionary struggles taking place there.

Dull Margaret by Jim Broadbent and Dix
Inspired by Dulle Griet, a 16th-century painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Dull Margaret is the first graphic novel by Academy Award-winning actor Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) and acclaimed Guardian cartoonist Dix (Roll Up! Roll Up!).
Dull Margaret leads a miserable life hunting slippery, slimy eels to sell at the marketplace. In town, she finds that she does not belong: the locals shun her, steal from her, and send her away to her crude shack far away from civilization. Fed up with the cruel world, she decides to take fate into her own hands, mixing a witch’s brew to bring her friendship and riches. But she soon learns to be careful what she wishes for, as this powerful magic sends her down a series of shocking and gruesome twists and turns. Intense, bleak, and darkly humorous.
For The Love Of God, Marie! by Jade Sarson
Armistead Maupin meets Ab Fab in this sparkling, sexy comedy of manners that celebrates the life and loves of Marie and a cast of LBGT characters. As we follow Marie from the 1960s to the 1990s, we find out what it means to be a spirited young woman from a religious household who believes that maybe, just maybe, God doesn’t care what you do with your body as long as it makes you happy. Because really, what harm can come from loving people?
With exuberant art and trademark lightness of touch, Jade Sarson shows us how attitudes to love, sexuality and religion have changed over the last fifty years.
