Wow! Evil Eyes Sea won the Max & Moritz Award for Best International Comic!

That sounds like a fascinating conversation—the intersection of medieval aesthetics and how comics function as a medium is such rich territory, especially with those two perspectives in dialogue.

I've been reading so many comics recently (mostly thanks to @ignitionpress.bsky.social and @unciv.bsky.social) that I might actually need to re-organize my bookshelf to give them more room. I'm sure it's nothing compared to collectors, but It's very much getting out of hand for me.
The Marvel Creator Collection No. 1: "Back to the Savage Land" Barry Windsor-Smith at Marvel Vol. 1 is out now and CBR has an exclusive sneak peek--check it out at https://ow.ly/OmX950YVKKi!
When working on MANGA: A VISUAL HISTORY, I lamented on how many of the great classics of Japanese manga were untranslated. Slowly but surely that list is getting shorter. uncivilizedbooks.com/fire/

A new softcover edition of Matt Madden's acclaimed and sold-out Ex Libris is on the way! Preorder your copy now. uncivilizedbooks.com/ex-libris-a...
Ex Libris, A Comic by Matt Madden
Ex Libris revolves around a character trapped in a room with nothing but a futon and a bookcase full of comics. As they peruse covers, read stories and fragments of stories, they begin to suspect that the comics contain hidden messages and… a threat. Fiction and reality blur; sanity and madness become increasingly intertwined as the reader becomes convinced the key to their predicament hides between the panels of the strange books. With a dizzying array of inventive visual and narrative styles, Ex Libris continues the line of exploration and play that Madden initiated with 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style. Ex Libris is a tribute to the meta-fictional tradition of writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Vladimir Nabokov, and Italo Calvino (whose novel, If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler, was the inspiration).
