FLOWER & FADE
By Jesse Lonergan

Kyle has just settled into a new city and job. He doesn’t know anyone,
but his life is comfy enough in its boring routine until Erika, a
pretty neighbor, catches his eye. Before they know it, they’re an
“item.” Before they know it, in fact, they’re very, very together. The
new relationship is a high for Kyle, but it’s frightening. In the midst
of happiness, Kyle gets nightmares of pulling his teeth out. Is Erika
really the right choice? Are they made for each other or just escaping
loneliness?
New discovery Jesse Lonergan writes and draws in a clear, clean,
realistic style in which a single line can carry enormous emotion. He
is another find from NBM’s ComicsLit.

TRAILERS
By Mark Kneece & Julie Collins

Josh Clayton's mother has killed a man and left Josh in charge of
disposing of the body. The trouble is, the body won’t stay put.
Josh’s life slips ever more deeply into hell as he attempts to keep
the corpse under wraps. A sensitive teenager, Josh attempts to
persevere in the face of a morbid dilemma: guilt and fear over the
crime come into conflict with his reluctant devotion to his mother. In
the meantime, he has the additional task of taking care of his younger
brothers and sister while enduring the ordinary minefield known as high
school. As pressure on Josh builds to critical mass, he suddenly finds
himself involved in a relationship with the lovely Michelle.
TRAILERS comes from two members of the faculty on sequential art at
the Savannah College of Art & Design, and the critics loved it.
• “What a story. Wonderfully original.” — Mike Sangiacomo, Cleveland
Plain Dealer
• “Utterly credible dialogue and very intelligent black-and-white
artwork.” — Booklist
• “The story clips along and is hard to put down, with at times
unbearable tension. Each panel tells a story, but Rousseau's art never
gets carried away with ‘artiness,’ and the quiet pathos of Josh's face
provides a graphic equivalent of those elegant turns found in great
short stories.” — Publishers Weekly
• “Will keep you riveted. The reappearance of the body — or parts of
it — simply reinforces the themes of class, situational ethics and
morality that confront Josh. Those ideas, interwoven through a
pell-mell plot with dead-on observations about the margins of society,
show a couple of masters at work.” — Andrew Smith, Knight-Ridder Papers

NORTH COUNTRY
By Shane White

Sometimes, you have to escape your past to get to the truth. NBM
ComicsLit introduces another amazing talent with a deeply felt story
about growing up in a northern New York State mill town.
After years of being away and making a life for himself, Shane finally
returns home. On the way, his mind floods with the memories of his
blue-collar family under tremendous pressure as alcoholism and abuse
push his relatives to the breaking point. As a kid growing up in this
situation, the pain was tremendous for Shane. As an adult, resentment
battles reconciliation. Beautifully evocative full color art.
In the words of the critics:
• “Everything rang true. Everything struck me as something that could
have happened to someone I know. White is a comics creator well worth
following, and North Country is a graphic novel well worth reading. It
earns the full five out of five Tonys.” — Tony Isabella, Comics Buyers
Guide
• “For a first-time graphic-novel author, Shane White exhibits a
remarkable talent for the form, delivering a shattering and memorable
portrait of abuse and reconciliation. Seemingly out of nowhere, Shane
White has arrived with a grossly huge talent for drawing and a keen
knowledge about how to use the form of comics to best editorial
advantage,” — Andrew Arnold, Time.comix
• “White breaks with convention to present his graphic-novel memoir
very realistically and conservatively. White pulls out the stops,
however, in terms of point of view, expressive color, and storytelling
technique. A far from uncommon life story beautifully rendered.” —
Booklist
