Frieren (2021-) by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe (translated by Misa "Japanese Ammo," lettered Annaliese Christman). An impossibly old elf mage gradually loses all her friends to their own mortal lifespans over and over - and gradually realizes life is short and that's too bad. https://t.co/ACZMi8fEag

The largest volume Winsor McCay related book I have us the Little Nemo homage book, Dream Another Dream. It's 16x21. It's not my best McCay book tho. That'd be Dream Of The Rarebit Fiend (published by Ulrich Merkl, 12x17). Tons of annotations, raucous comics! https://t.co/4L6AQCJTHS

The Con Artists (2021) by Luke Healy is about Luke but not Luke but kind of Luke and how his bid to take over the world of comedy gets sidelined by a crappy friend who is also his oldest friend and he should really help him or should he? https://t.co/w60LgRBT4Q

Dragon Hoops is Gene Luen Yang's true story of a single season of his school's basketball team, but as you'd expect from Yang's personal work there's much more going on here than just the surface story of How Did The Team Do?

Book 11 of 2023: The Ballad Of Black Tom (2016) by Victor LaValle. This one was another re-read. I'd seen LaValle was going to release a sequel and thought I'd give the original another spin. Tight yarn. https://t.co/m2OHq8LlwW

Aw. A leak claimed my beautiful Alan Lee illustrated copy of the Lord Of The Rings. It was a lovely edition. https://t.co/Phcyh4XTEX

I'd planned to read Stanislaw Lem's Solaris next, but I've started a reread of Saint Sebastian's Abyss for bookclub next weekend and after that I'm reading East Of Eden with Michelle.

Monsters (2021) by Barry Windsor-Smith is easy to admire but a bit harder to like. Some of these pages are just gorgeous and some of the lettering is mind-bendingly powerful. Grim story of abuse mixed with an older style of comic story that feels just a bit too old timey https://t.co/rYLutbTgUy

Real advice to the intrepid souls out there: if you run into any Best Graphic Novels Of The Year list that don't mention panpanya's Guyabano Holiday, you can safely mark it as a sham. Please discard that list and log the author's name in your ongoing list of known dilettantes.
