Q & A
by Adrian Tomine
Q&A is one part personal history, one part masterclass in crafting quality entertainment. With questions pulled from his time at the Substack Writers' Residency, and with additional, new material, Q&A is an indispensable addition to the collections of eagle-eyed fans and aspiring artists, writers, and cartoonists alike. Tomine answers questions about his preferred tools, his creative process, the ups and downs of adaptation, and perhaps most importantly--how to pronounce his last name. Illustrated with drafts, outtakes, and photos from the artist's personal collection, this rare peek into the mind of a contemporary cartooning giant lays out the method to his meticulous brand of madness. The artist looks back on his career in response to queries from his--maybe adoring but mostly curious--public with his signature dry wit and unflinching, self-deprecating honesty.

Love Languages
by James Albon
Two foreigners in France reach across language barriers and turn each other's lives upside down in this stunningly beautiful queer romance graphic novel painted in dazzling watercolor. Sarah Huxley has moved from London to Paris, only to find a lonely life of corporate drudgery and disappointment--a far cry from her romantic expectations of the city. She collides with Ping Loh, a young woman working as an au pair to a wealthy family of Hong Kong expats, and the two bond over their shared struggle with the French tongue. In museums and markets, over text messages and translation apps, Ping and Sarah slowly begin to learn each other's languages, communicating in a rich and ever-shifting blend of English, French, and Cantonese. As their friendship blooms, so does their private dialect--a personal linguistic patchwork, a shared secret just for them. But when their feelings for each other start to deepen, they discover that the simplest words to translate can be the hardest words to say.
