Howdy! This week’s highlights include: the second volume of the massive, stunningly reproduced, widely praised “Little Nemo in Slumberland: So Many Splendid Sundays!” volume; a sexy and geeky photo collection of the costumed women of Comic-Con; the design-eriffic, girl-tastic new book from Ragnar; a densely- illustrated, blow-by-blow account of Sweden’s legendary death metal underground; a collection of classic works from the unique, unprecedented self-taught artist Henry Darger; a collection of Rome-inspired artwork from illustrator and skate culture icon Jeremy Fish; a graphic call to resistance and action from comics artist Seth Tobocman; the first retrospective of the horrifying, hallucinatory, madly influential underground comix artist Rory Hayes; an angry and angsty art and text collaboration on corporate culture and the right wing; and three new calendars for 2009, featuring buds from High Times, Emily the Strange, and birds and bird songs — the last with an audio player built in.
