ZORRO #1
by Matt Wagner & Francesco Francavilla
Dynamite presents the return of yet another Legend as Matt Wagner unveils the
all-new Zorro! Writer, Art Director and cover artist Matt Wagner is in command
of this all-new “year one” Zorro comic series. Similar in tone and scope to
Dynamite’s acclaimed Lone Ranger series, Zorro features artist Francesco
Francavilla who complements Wagner’s pulp-action writing! Created in 1919 by
pulp writer Johnston McCulley, Zorro made his first appearance in "The Curse of
Capistrano," serialized in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly. From there Zorro
has been the star of countless films and has been noted by Bob Kane as a main
influence on Batman — Bruce Wayne even went to see The Mark of Zorro the evening
his parents were killed! — and recently featured in a best-selling novel by
Isabel Allende! Joining Wagner — who also provides covers for the series (50%) —
and Francavilla for the return of the legendary Zorro are cover artists Mike
Mayhew and Dean White (25%) and Lone Ranger cover artist John Cassaday (25%)!

ALBERT AND THE OTHERS GN
by Guy Delisle
Limbs are swapped and pants are dropped in Albert and The Others, a collection
of wordless strips that expose the pleasures, pitfalls and perversities of
masculinity. In this companion volume to Aline and the Others, Guy Delisle
delves deep into the male psyche and emerges with 26 alphabetically arranged
strips, named after the men who tumble through the pages. These elastic
protagonists risk damnation and dismemberment in a series of improbable
slapstick relationships with women that veer from the titillating to the
downright macabre.

FIRE AWAY GN
by Chris Von Szombathy
Chris Von Szombathy’s surreal illustrations explore the bold juxtaposition of
color and use of iconic imagery characteristic of modern underground
screenprinting as practiced by sub-cultural icons such as The Little Friends of
Printmaking. Von Szombathy breaks new ground in the aesthetic by simultaneously
emphasizing the repetition of shape and the subversion of expectations with
jarring intersections of organic, inorganic and purely abstract elements.
Swirling fractals of curves and angles erupt from and entangle his subjects,
invading the void space of his backgrounds with injections and infections of
form and light. Fire Away is Von Szombathy’s first published collection.

edition Brown has designed new layouts for the entire book, using "white" panel
backgrounds instead of the black pages of the first edition.

IT'S A GOOD LIFE, IF YOU DON'T WEAKEN TP (NEW PRINTING)
by Seth
In his first graphic novel, Seth discovers the life and work of Kalo, a
forgotten New Yorker cartoonist from the 1940s. But his obsession blinds him to
the needs of his lover and the quiet desperation of his family. Wry
self-reflection and moody colours characterize Seth’s style in this tale about
learning lessons from nostalgia. His playful and sophisticated experiment with
memoir provoked a furious debate among cartoon historians and archivists about
the existence of Kalo, and prompted a Details feature about Seth's "hoax."

PYONGYANG: A JOURNEY IN NORTH KOREA TP
by Guy Delisle
Armed with a smuggled radio and a copy of 1984, Guy Delisle could only explore
Pyongyang and its countryside while chaperoned by his translator and a guide.
But among the statues, portraits and propaganda of leaders Kim Il-Sung and his
son Kim Jong-Il — the world’s only Communist dynasty — Delisle was able to
observe more than was intended of the culture and lives of the few North Koreans
he encountered. His astute and wry musings on life in the austere and grim
regime form the basis of this remarkable graphic novel. (DEC068244)

SHENZHEN: A TRAVELOGUE FROM CHINA HC
by Guy Delisle
With a dry wit and a clean line, Delisle makes the most of his time spent in a
cold urban city in southern China overseeing outsourced production for a French
animation company. By translating his fish-out-of-water experiences into
accessible graphic novels, Delisle is quick to find the humor and point out the
differences between Western and Eastern cultures. Yet he never forgets to relay
his compassion for the simple freedoms that escape his colleagues by virtue of
living in a Communist state. (JUL063109)
