Ultra Heaven Reviewed in Publishers Weekly
 
"Like Akira as envisioned by Philip K. Dick, this manga uses the language and imagery of science fiction to delve into altered states and transcendental expanses. Koike's hyperrealistic artwork, which renders the futuristic city in obsessive detail, makes his eye-melting depictions of altered states both hypnotic and disorienting. Fans of new wave science fiction, classic underground comics, and psychedelic poster art will want to take this trip." -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review

Barefoot Gen
We are happy to announce we will release a new edition of Barefoot Gen in 2025. The new edition will combine volumes 1 and 2 of Keiji Nakazawa's epic story in a new hardcover design. Contains a visual afterword by Raina Telgemeier. More info to come.

Coming Soon 
Ultra Heaven Volume 1

In the future, any mood you want is just a pump away. People flock to legal "pump bars," where licensed medical professionals, known as bar doctors, prescribe their customers the perfect pharmaceutical blend.

But when the standard dosage isn't enough, our protagonist, Cub, turns to an unauthorized source. The results have to be seen to be believed.

Rendered in a richly-detailed, clear-line style, this psychedelic sci-fi manga tears apart the basic fabric of reality. What is the truth and what is a dream?

We will be shipping in November and will keep you updated on the exact shipping date.





Ultra Heaven Volume 1
By Keiichi Koike

Translated by Ajani Oloye
Edited by Colin Turner

192 pages, paperback with jacket, 6 x 8.25"
ISBN: 9780867199291

About the Author

Born in Tokyo, Keiichi Koike won the prestigious Tezuka Award in 1976, when he was 16. His style, similar to Katsuhiro Otomo and Moebius, is marked by vivid representations of psychedelic experiences.

Pre-Order Ultra Heaven Volume 1
Now Available for pre-order: Hail Murray! The Punk Photography of Murray Bowles, 1982-1995



Murray Bowles photographed Bay Area punk for four decades, capturing its infectious energy, wild creativity, and ragged tenderness everywhere he found it.

From San Francisco's Mabuhay Gardens to Berkeley's 924 Gilman—and the countless basements, backyards, and warehouses in between—Murray was there, camera in hand, the scene's beloved documentarian.

Collected here for the first time, Murray's classic images chronicle a uniquely dynamic and enduring music community in all its chaos and glory.   

Featuring hundreds of images of bands such as Green Day, Operation Ivy, Neurosis, Crimpshrine, the Dead Kennedys, MDC, Special Forces, Social Unrest, Spit Boy, Melvins, Gwar, Soundgarden, NOFX, The Offspring and many, many more.

This collection of photographs documents and celebrates the punk music scene from the early 1980s through the mid-1990s.

Pure Trance

A new, compact paperback edition of Junko Mizuno's Pure Trance

On a post-apocalyptic Earth, a serious social problem has emerged: hyperorexia, or severe overeating, a side effect of the "Pure Trance" life-sustaining pill.
   Our story begins in a hospital ruined by a tyrannical director, Keiko Yamazaki. The nurses who toil under Keiko's whip are regular girls, just like your friends and co-workers.
   This dreamy science fiction fantasy is a twisted story of catfights, alien safari adventures, evil experimentation, and a girl in love with a pop idol singer.
