kuš! komiksi Comics from Latvia!

For a little while now, there have been rumblings about beautiful comics anthologies coming out from Latvia, under the name kuš! komiksi.
DOMINO is proud to be able to now carry some of these books in our store, including Baltic Comics Anthology š! #9, the female secrets issue, which just won the PRIX DE LA BANDE DESSINÉE ALTERNATIVE 2012 at Angouleme!

Check back here within a week and we’ll have even MORE kuš! comics available.

Out this Summer

A new mini-epic by Canadian artist Jonathan Petersen (working title is Space Basket) will be out this Summer from DOMINO. Enjoy this preview and be sure to pick up some of Petersen’s zines and minis in the DOMINO SHOP. Petersen is one of my favorite comic artists and this book is one of the longest, richest things I’ve seen from him—can’t wait till it’s printed and everyone can sink their teeth into it!

Domino HQ

A little post about DOMINO’s homebase—we used to be located in Stockholm and we gave you a tour of that—now we’re back in Brooklyn.

Here’s the table I draw at and run DOMINO from. That is the JMZ Subway line tracks you see at the top of the window—our apartment can be seen by passengers on the train.

At night—note the scrolling feed from the DONUT CONNECTION downstairs. They share the address with us.

Here is Clara’s drawing table

Also down here with us is Bill Kartalopoulos—here’s his desk full of comics:

Retrofit in the shop

We here at DOMINO are very excited about what Retrofit Comics is doing. Raw Power by Josh Bayer was one of our favorite books of the year. We’re pleased to be able to offer some of the Retrofit line in our the DOMINO store—now you can pick up retrofit stuff when you get your DOMINO books. Enjoy!

Raw Power by Josh Bayer. $6.50 Published by Retrofit Comics

Whoa nellie…this is one of DOMINO’s favorite comics of the year—a comic so good, we wish we’d published it! Every page of this is filled with the most energetic, cruel, high level rendering, insane scribbling, noisy hatching, twisted faces, sickening caricatures, humanistic moments and so much more. Everything there is to love about comics is here…page after page of art that just couldn’t be done any other way. Follows everyone from the Cat Man and G Gordon Liddy in a story about a high level plot to shut down punk rock—but like any true work of art its about more than what it’s about. For me the pleasure here is in the drawings and Bayer’s beautiful turns of phrase, moments of seemingly tossed off dialogue and just the total punch of the damn thing. 5 stars.

Bowman by Pat Aulisio $5

Fungus by James Kochalka. $5
