Nate Powell's Eisner Award–winning Swallow Me Whole was a thoughtful look at two teens dealing with mental illness. Dealing with matters of religion and Islamic culture, this will be the most talked about graphic novel of the fall. Thompson's follow-up to the much-liked Blankets is a dense, swirling dervish of a tale, a love story that unfolds fractally from the curves of the Arabic lettering in the Qur'an. This fall offers no shortage of great new work, led by Habibi. The Death-Ray reprints Daniel Clowes's literary take on the superhero genre, following teenage wastrel Andy, whose discovery of great power leads only to tragedy and misery.And the long unavailable Flex Mentallo: Man of Muscle Mystery Deluxe shows writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely at the top of their game with a heady deconstruction of the superhero genre, playing with multiple levels of reality. Two more recent works are also getting deluxe editions. Lynda Barry is also getting the career retrospective with the first volume of Everything, gathering her long out-of-print Ernie Pook's Comeek, which explores the childhood world of the unforgettable Marlys, a character so beautifully portrayed as to merit a place in the Sensitive Literary Adolescent Hall of Fame. In the title story, Donald discovers a lost Inca civilization that produces square eggs.
Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Lost in the Andes is the first volume in a planned collected works, featuring Barks's wry, sly adventure comics that mix a dark view of human nature with a sweeping sense of adventure.
Like Kelly, Carl Barks spent the early part of his career working in Disney's animation department and left to write and draw comics, where his true genius lay.
