FEATURED IN THE MARGINALIAN BY MARIA POPOVA (FORMERLY BRAIN PICKINGS) • A GRAPHICS BEAT MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKA debut picture book for adults about a bear that elicits immediate, deep emotional recognition."A tender reminder that no one can save anyone, not even with love; that we only ever save ourselves when we are ready: but love is what readies us to be our own savior."—Maria Popova, The MarginalianBear, Staffan Gnosspelius’s debut book, is a gorgeous visual meditation on depression. In this deeply affecting, wordless picture book for adults, a bear is maddeningly afflicted with a cone that covers his head and that he is unable to take off. He furiously stomps and yells and tears at the cone, he implores the skies and fate for relief, he is drawn to dark and wild and scary places. The depths of his sadness feel like a defeat. It’s a battle he wages until he’s mentally and physically exhausted. Then, one day, Bear hears notes of music, the humming of a friendly hare. The hare hovers nearby, concerned, sometimes driven away by Bear’s frustration and anger, more often staying close and gently offering support. The author began drawing a bear with a cone on his head as a way to make sense of how a person close to him was suffering from mental illness. The resulting book is both an emotional gut punch and a warm embrace, recognizable immediately to anyone who has ever suffered or loved someone who has suffered in similar dark places. In other words, all of us.

I Nina is a graphic novel adaptation of Nobel and Man Booker Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk's book Anna in the Tombs of the World. The story is based on the ancient Sumerian myth of Goddess Innana's journey into the Underworld. Daniel Chmielewski deftly transports the narrative into a near-future dystopia where humanity survives in a hermetically sealed multi-level world. As society slowly decays under a 'social currency' regime, Nina, 'no-one,' becomes the focus of long-buried revolutionary energies that could change everything. Daniel's 'must be seen to be believed' art was awarded the Polish Comics Society Prize for Best Artist. Evoking classic works of Enki Bilal and Moebius, I Nina is a provocative science-fiction graphic novel for the present age.

Greek myth has inspired stories and art for millennia. And yet some stories and characters remain unfamiliar. First There Was Chaos explores the formless, primordial, and extraordinary forces that preceded the Olympian gods. These tales of Creation illustrate the creative process, giving cosmic form to the universal struggles of all creators. Framing the narrative is the story of a poet struggling with his act of Creation, hoping to transform nothingness into beauty. His struggles parallel the tales of primordial beings, from the ambitions of formless Chaos to the birth of the first Olympian, Aphrodite. Based on Hesiod's Theogony and other classic sources, First There Was Chaos synthesizes fragmentary myths into a compelling narrative accessible to a contemporary audience.
