The End of the Fucking World, Reprinted

Press Release

Before The End of the F***ing World was a genre-bending, international smash hit on Netflix and Channel 4, it was the 2013 critically-acclaimed graphic novel by Charles Forsman, published (without the asterisks) by Fantagraphics Books! Re-released this past fall in a new hardcover edition, the book flew off the shelves within 24 hours of the hit series’ debut on Netflix last Friday (the YouTube trailer, which debuted the day before the series, has been viewed almost six million times as of this writing). As a result, an ambitious third printing of The End of the Fucking World has been expedited and will hit stores in early February.

Review: All Time Comics – Bullwhip #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The best way to describe All Time Comics is to give a what if type statement. In this case, what if EC Comics had created a superhero line back in the heyday of newspaper print? That is what Josh Bayer has created with this line of books, throwback superhero comics, but with a flair of violence and swearing.

Review: All Time Comics #1: Crime Destroyer #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

It appears that Fantagraphics is getting into the super-hero game. And to do so they are going all the way back to the beginning of the genre and starting from there. One of the first titles under their All Time Comics banner is Crime Destroyer, an over-the-top, ridiculous Batman stand-in. This book is fun and silly and just a straight forward book. There are no hidden messages or meanings. There’s nothing left for the reader to decipher, everything is laid out right there on the page. In thought bubbles and (possibly) an excessive amount of narration.
