APRIL 2014 NEW RELEASES Graphic Novels t Manga t Sci-Fi/ fantasy t Games • As its title suggests, (Mostly) Wordless is a mostly wordless, all-ages book filled with stories, short vignettes, and character sketches told with either no, or few words. Each story explores moments of childhood imaginative exploration — from dress-up and playing pirates to nursery rhymes and rainy days. The book begins with the wordless mini-epic, "Ella and The Pirates," an enchanting tale about a little girl and her imaginary adventures as a pirate as she sails through perilous waters, has sword fights, and discovers buried treasure. KEY SELLING POINTS: • After working for over ten years in the editorial illustration field for such publications as LA Weekly, The Sacramento News and Review, and The Santa Cruz Metro, Jed returned to his first love, children's literature. He has since done work for Nickelodeon and Cricket Magazine. (Mostly) Wordless is his first solo publication for children. • A compact size for small hands ISBN-13: 978-1-934460-33-7 Price: $18.95 ($18.95 CAN) Publisher: Alternative Comics Imprint: Alternative Comics Writer: Jed Alexander Artist: Jed Alexander Size: 8 x 8 Page Count: 48 Format: Hardcover, Full Color Recommended Age: Children (ages 4 - 8) Comparison Title: Zoom (ISBN-13 978-0-14-055774-9, $7.99), Scene But Not Heard (ISBN-13 978-1-60309-089-6, $14.95), Owly Volume 1: The Way Home & The Bittersweet Summer (ISBN-13 978-1-891830-62-4, $10.00) Genre: Children/Fairy Tales Ship Date: 4/30/2014 Rights: World KIDS (MOSTLY) WORDLESS SUNBEAM ON THE ASTRONAUT • A long-awaited book of all-new, never-before-published short comics and art by Steven Cerio. The purely hallucinatory graphic album you've searched for is here, done in Cerio's unique cross pollination of tripping visions and skittering twee. These detailed tales are lushly illustrated in his varying approaches used for commercial clients (Nickelodeon, Warner Bros., etc.) and music acts (The Residents, Moe, Les Claypool, Ministry). These miraculous, poetic narratives and free-form meditations owe as much to the ghost of Arthur Rimbaud as to Captain Beefheart. • Included in Sunbeam on The Astronaut are comic book adventures of Cerio's characters from his various films with top-hatted, eyeball-performance greats The Residents; a dozen short narratives; a collection of paintings and collages and stills from his newest film The Magnificent Pigtail Shadow; and much more. KEY SELLING POINTS: • Features rarely seen art for one of the main collaborators of The Residents. • Steven Cerio has had a long career as an artist and illustrator — from helping spearhead the psychedelic art revival in New York in the 1980s to working as a poster artist for some of the biggest names in music. Steven has contributed to numerous comics anthologies over the years, including Graphic Classics, Hotwire Comics, Last Gasp Comix & Stories, and Buzzard. Steven's previous books include Pie and Steven Cerio's ABC Book: A Drug Primer.
