As we head into fall and are settling into new routines, Secret Headquarters just wants to remind you there is plenty of reading to look forward to! It’s been a good year for graphic novels and here are a few recent releases and new titles to add to your reading list.
This Place Kills Me by Mariko Tamaki and Nichole Goux
Dream team of Tamaki and Goux get together for a perfect cozy mystery. The Wilberton Theatrical Society gets a lot more dramatic when the star of the school production of Romeo & Juliet is found dead after the opening night performance. This powerhouse team has created an adventure you just can’t put down. Out this week!
Free Speech Handbook by Rosenberg and Cavallaro
As we continue along the path of authoritarianism where the Constitution is routinely ignored by those in power, it’s important that we are all aware of our rights. The new Free Speech Handbook is a great resource for understanding the protections we have to speak our minds.
True Colors by Elise Gravel
She is The Coolest Person In The World, but that doesn’t mean life is easy. Elise Gravel takes a detour from educational content to provide some details about what it is like growing up weird. A great all ages guide for embracing the things you love to become the person you were meant to be. Told in a diary style with plenty of fun illustrations, perfect for the kid who feels like they might not fit in.
Drome by Jesse Lonergan
If you aren’t familar with Lonergan’s unique layouts and paneling you are in for a treat. Billed as a creation myth for the modern day, dive right into the cycle of violence and a demigoddess’ quest to teach the language of peace. Long stretches of wordless storytelling showcase Lonergan’s clever stylistic touches, definitely going to be a favorite of the year.
Dummy Zine Issue 2
We’re so back! If you dug the dive into the Art of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, you’ll be happy to know the same care has been taken with Dummy 2. Air Pirates is the subject of this volume, and the same loving care you’ve come to expect from Dummy Zine really shines here with an updated prestige format. We have both volumes available in shop and on our site!
Marvel and DC
With Absolute Superman’s first trade paperback coming out this week, now you can get the first Absolute arcs of the big three of DC. Not to be outdone, Hickman and Ribic’s Aliens vs. Avengers is also collected and we have plenty of copies available starting Tuesday the 19th.
We love recommending books so stop by and visit us any day of the week from 11 AM and 7 PM.
