Chicago
by Glenn Head
For fans of Jim Carroll's Basketball Diaries or Martin Scorsese' Mean Streets. Glenn finds himself navigating the tough streets of Chicago on a journey of lunacy and self-discovery.
Dharma Punks
by Ant Sang
From New Zealand comes this graphic novel set in the 1990s where a group of anarcho-punks plan to blow up a multi-national fast food restaurant on opening day. Ah, the good old days.
Head Lopper #1
by Andrew MacLean
It's like a viking Conan the Barbarian meets Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia, as a warrior and the head of a witch share brutal and action-packed adventures. Yes, heads will be lopped.
Sacred Heart
by Liz Suburbia
It's an unsupervised, never-ending teen punk summer vacation with a makeshift society and mysterious deaths in this graphic novel debut from the immensely talented Liz Suburbia.
