DISCLAIMER: graphic sexuality
This uproarious graphic novel is a surreal take on the classic Western - and a rip-roaring adventure in gender identity and queerness! A rugged outlaw rides into a typical nineteenth-century Western town, swinging his six-guns and stirring up trouble. Meanwhile, an idle young woman gets the notion to outfit herself as a cowboy and makes her getaway. Danish cartoonist Villadsen's off-kilter vision of the Old West features exploding prostitutes, menstruating cowgirls, mysterious gender-bending, and much more. Giddyap!

Torn from the pages of National Lampoon magazine: Fantagraphics brings you the complete collection of The Appletons, Timberland Tales, and other hilarious comics creations. For fourteen years, cartoonist B.K. Taylor regaled and baffled the readers with the good-natured goofiness of his odd suburban family, The Appletons, and his innocent cast of Canadians who encountered the outside world and the trials of everyday life in Timberland Tales. Talyor's art is richly, realistically, and subversively detailed. At first, you might think it's being played it straight, but take a closer look ... With a foreword by comedian and star Tim Allen (Last Man Standing) and an afterword by horror writer R.L. Stine (Goosebumps; Fear Street).

The cult-favorite Manhunter epic from the 1970s is collected for the first time in a Deluxe Edition hardcover!
