A fresh and brilliantly told memoir from a cult favorite comic artist, marked by gothic twists, a family funeral home, sexual angst, and great books. This breakout book by Alison Bechdel is a darkly funny family tale, pitch-perfectly illustrated with Bechdel's sweetly gothic drawings. Like Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, it's a story exhilaratingly suited to graphic memoir form. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian home, a third-generation funeral home director, a high school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved with his male students and a family babysitter. Through narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and fiercely funny, we are drawn into a daughter's complex yearning for her father. And yet, apart from assigned stints dusting caskets at the family-owned "fun home," as Alison and her brothers call it, the relationship achieves its most intimate expression through the shared code of books. When Alison comes out as homosexual herself in late adolescense, the denouement is swift, graphic -- and redemptive.

House Party marks the graphic novel debut by award-winning illustrator, Rachael Smith.

Snipe, originally released as a book object in a very limited edition of 100, consists of two discrete stories. Snipe I follows a wildlife photographer lost in the woods while memories of his previous night's fever dream gradually surface. Snipe II is a highly detailed and possibly fictionalized account of the life and career WWII's most celebrated sniper, Finland's Simo Häyhä. Where these stories intersect is in the territory of memory and inaccuracy, myth-building and psychosis.
This project is another point on the Immonens' trajectory of continually exploring comics and experimental storytelling.
