NEW THIS WEEK

Ghost World by Daniel Clowes
From one of the most respected cartoonists of his generation comes a monumental work. The L.A. Weekly calls Clowes' comics "twisted and handsome". "Ghost World" follows the adventures of two teenage girls, Enid and Becky, who are best friends and are facing the prospect of growing up, and more importantly, apart. Both are naturalistic and nostalgic for the way things used to be in their lives. In "Ghost World", Clowes carves out a layered narrative out of the daily existence of these two girls and in the process, turns them into fully-realized young women.

Promethea by Alan Moore

Promethea tells the story of Sophie Bangs, a c college student from an alternate futuristic New York City in 1999, who embodies the powerful entity known as Promethea whose task it is to bring the apocalypse .

Originally published as 32 issues from 1999 to 2005, the series has now been re-published into five graphic novels and one hard-back issue.
