THE SILVER DARLINGS GN
by Will Morris
Of all the perilous superstitions held by the crew of Dunure fishing boat The Silver Darling, the most important of all is that under no circumstances should a white-handled knife ever be carried on board. Ignoring this generation-long tradition, Danny – the latest of his brothers to join the family business – steps onto the boat with a mop top, oil-skinned jacket and an ivory-handled knife. Determined to bring an “enlightened attitude” aboard, Danny is biding his time until he moves on to college in Glasgow. Intricately researched, Will Morris leaves no stone unturned as he transports the reader to the grueling life of a Dunure fishing crew. As much a coming of age drama as it is a faithful tribute to the island’s historic fishing industry, The Silver Darlings provides an exciting first look into a creator regarded by some as a master storyteller in the making.

PLEASE GOD FIND ME A HUSBAND! HC GN
by Simone Lia
Simone Lia’s Fluffy is one of the best-loved books on the Cape graphic novel list. As her new book opens we find her in Leicester Square. She’s just been dumped by her boyfriend and she’s talking to God, telling Him that she’s nearly thirty-four and if He wants her to get married He’d better get a move on. Amazingly, God sends a reply, prompting Simone to plan an “Adventure with God” that starts with a fortnight in a nunnery, then takes her to Australia in search of a hermit. The one she finds proves a disappointment, unlike Brett, the handsome horseman who takes her riding. She thinks he looks just like Crocodile Dundee; he thinks she looks like Penelope Cruz. Is this the man she’s been searching for, or is God making fun of her? Funny, touching and even occasionally profound, Please God Find Me a Husband! will be essential reading for spinsters, seekers of enlightenment and lovers of the very best graphic novels.

ARAKI TOKYO LUCKY HOLE TASCHEN 25 EDITION
Nobuyoshi Araki is one of Japan’s best-known artists, and his photographs feature in exhibitions in all the leading museums of the world. For more than thirty years he has been working on a project that is close to his heart: a portrait of the Tokyo that lies beyond all moral values and taboos. His artistic strategy is simple yet extremely effective. In his books, of which over 100 have been published in Japan, he juxtaposes snapshots with nude photos, and still life with hardcore pornography. The photos for Tokyo Lucky Hole were taken between 1983-85 in Sinjuku, Tokyo’s famous red light district, which was closed by judicial decree in 1985. In over 850 photos, Araki documents life in this “forbidden city”: from the customer whose every desire is satisfied, to prostitutes after a hard working day, from slaves in their dominatrix cage to the show girl in the peep-show. This volume is the first uncensored edition of this book. (9783836536721) (CAUT: 0-0-4)

TOM POULTON: THE SECRET ART OF AN ENGLISH GENTLEMAN TASCHEN 25 EDITION
Thomas Leycester Poulton was an English magazine and medical book illustrator, born in 1897. Upon his death in 1963 it was discovered he was also a prolific and imaginative erotic artist who produced hundreds of sketches and finished drawings of women proudly and exuberantly displaying themselves in ways shocking to conservative post-war Britain. Once one gets past the shock value it becomes clear that Poulton’s greatest talent was in portraying the human body in the sexual act, and since he did it with such rare insight many have argued he must have actually witnessed the orgies he put on paper. His ties to certain players in the 1963 Profumo scandal, breaking at the time of his death, hint that he may, in fact, have been the in-house artist at the parties that rocked British Parliament. Poulton’s archive remained hidden from public view until the late ‘90s, when it turned up among the artifacts of an aging professional yachtsman who was dispersing his vast collection of erotica. Though Tom Poulton’s work tells us much about English society between 1948 and 1963, there is a universal quality to these images of joyous, uninhibited sexuality that transcends time and place.
