Atomic Books Comics Preview - March 13, 2013
In the weekly Atomic Books Comics Preview, Benn Ray highlights notable new comics and graphic novels.
Benn Ray is the owner of Atomic Books, an independent bookstore in Baltimore. The Mobtown Shank is his blog, and his comic Said What? is syndicated weekly in the Baltimore Sun's B-Paper.
Atomic Books has been named one of Bizarre Magazine's 51 geekiest places on the planet, as well as one of Flavorwire's 10 greatest comic and graphic novel stores in America.
Hair Shirt
by Patrick McEown
With artwork that reminiscent of a dark Jordan Crane, McEown tells the story of a difficult love rediscovered, loaded with insecurities. A creative story, exquisite art and magnificent coloring - Hair Shirt delivers the full package.
Mischief
by Katrin Hagen
Katrin describes this mini as a "collection of odd drawings to make you happy," and her description is spot on. From koalas crushed by love to a dolphin too smart for its own good to ugly dogs who find beauty in each other, Mischief fills you both warm fuzzies and chuckles.
