MEATHAUS certainly didn t invent the whole idea of a comics anthology, but it s the kind of book that ll make you think otherwise. An über-team of creators gives it their all in S.O.S., spilling passion/sentiment/cool/rage onto the page. Their stories are beautiful and brutal, bizarre and brazen, all told by guys like James Jean, Farel Dalrymple, Brandon Graham, Tomer and Asaf Hanuka, Thomas Herpich, Jim Rugg, Corey Lewis, Matt Furie, D-pi, Ross Campbell, Sheldon Vella, and Dave Kiersh. Editors Brandon Graham and Chris McD consulted their favorites; list and brought in a whole new cross-section of the comics scene. The resulting mash-up of artists, action, styles and energy makes MEATHAUS: S.O.S. an essential read for indie comics lovers and beyond.

From the secret laboratory of renowned videogame developer Double Fine Productions comes this incredible collection of funnies created by the one and only Scott C, art director of Psychonauts and BrÃƒÂ¼tal Legend. Chock full of 300 strips, as well as the coolest behind-the-scenes pages you ll ever find in a book, Double Fine Action Comics by Scott C is an absolute for anyone who enjoys frequent amusement and side effects like laughter. 
 The Really True Myth of Double Fine Action Comics... 
 Once upon a morning, way back in 2002, Scott C stumbled into work at Double Fine Productions. On that particular morning, he decided to get extra inspired and draw a comic to warm up the creative side of his brain. It depicted a two-headed baby (also known as 2HB) and a knight doing not much of anything. Scott quickly got into an amazing groove, drawing a new comic every morning, just to see where the adventure with 2HB and the knight would go. Tim Schafer, founder of Double Fine, suggested to Scott C that he never stop doing comics every morning. In fact, he was so excited about the idea, that he empowered three other Double Fine artists to join him with their own adventures: Nathan Stapley, Razmig Mavlian, and Mark Hamer. Every, single day these dudes would make comics and upload them to doublefine.com. And the world was made amazing.

A wise man once said, "Looking through an artist's sketchbook is like seeing that artist naked." With this brand-new series of hardcover books, Nerdcore is proud to undress some of pop art's most daring and original creators, beginning with Joe Ledbetter's Sketchbook. Like never before, fans will be welcomed into the creative process, warts and all. Each of the 184 pages in this volume was hand-selected by Mr. Ledbetter from various personal sketchbooks, dating back to 2003 when his now-iconic characters like Mr. Bunny were barely-recognizable scribbles. You'll be treated to character design experiments for creatures that never were, doodles for vinyl toys that still aren't, concepts for paintings that already are, and plenty of surprise smudges just because we can. It's a new kind of artistic intimacy.Joe Ledbetter's Sketchbook is anything but polished, featuring raw and unfiltered images from the last six years of the artist's career, including:+ Rough compositions for famous paintings + Mockups for collectible vinyl toys + Illustration concepts + Logo trials + Weird ideas + To-do lists + Random phone numbers + Smudges, fingerprints, moisture rings, ink splatter, and lots of other detritus of creativity about Joe Ledbetter.Influenced by classic animation, graphic design, and daily life, Joe Ledbetter 's art is... well... a lot of things. Light-hearted in its approach, he often combines cute and cuddly creatures with unfortunate -- albeit humorous -- situations. With a lean on the subversive and absurd, these scenarios are all too familiar, questioning our tendency of taking life (and ourselves) too seriously.Hardcover bound and ecologically friendly, printed on premium 100% recycled paper.- 184 pages- Hardcover- 7.25" x 10"- Hundreds of sketches!
