Fantagraphics is excited to give you a peek into our May releases. Please see the book information below.
I am highlighting Listen, Beautiful Márcia by Marcello Quintanilha (link). This graphic novel is a fast-paced, flamboyantly colorful new graphic novel about a young mother struggling to raise her rebellious teenage daughter in the slums of Rio, Brazil. Interweaving deeply personal insight into the difficulties of parenthood with lush backdrops of the elegance and crudeness within the favela-dense landscape of Rio, this book has already garnered international acclaim and won the “Fauve d’Or” at the Angouleme International Comics Festival.
For a review copy of anything you see below, please email me at cohen@fantagraphics.com and I will send you a hardcopy or a PDF (hardcopies subject to availability).
Thanks so much!

Salome’s Last Dance by Daria Tessler
Daria Tessler’s new graphic novella showcases her phenomenal talent for incorporating elements of collage and pen-and-ink illustration to create a beautifully phantasmagoric experience under the guise of an absurdist, psychedelic fantasy (including an extended visual tour de force depicting a hallucinogenic tea trip), one that favorably compares to Yellow Submarine or the comics of Jim Woodring.
