Mister Wonderful: A Love Story TPB by Dan Clowes
Written & Illustrated by Daniel Clowes
The fan-favorite Eisner Award-winning story, originally serialized in The New York Times Magazine, now
collected with 40 pages of new material. Meet Marshall. He’s been set up on a blind date with someone
named Natalie. Divorced, middle-aged, newly unemployed, with next to no prospects, Marshall isn’t
exactly a catch. After nearly an hour, when he’s long since given up hope, Natalie appears — breathless,
apologizing profusely that she went to the wrong place. She’s too good to be true: attractive, young,
intelligent, and she seems to be seriously engaged with what Marshall has to say. There has to be a
catch. And, of course, there is. During the extremely long night that follows, Marshall and Natalie are
emotionally tested in ways that two people who just met really should not be. A captivating, bittersweet,
and hilarious look at the potential for human connection in an increasingly hopeless world, Mister
Wonderful more than lives up to its name. 12" X 6" Format. 80 PGS.

Persepolis: The Story Of A Return
Written & Illustrated by Marjane Satrapi
In 1984, Marjane flees fundamentalism and the war in Iraq to attend high school in Vienna, where she
faces the trials of adolescence far from her friends and family. While she soon carves out a place for
herself among a group of fellow outsiders, she continues to miss her home desperately. After
graduation, Marjane returns to Iran. Her difficult homecoming forces her to confront the changes both
she and her country have undergone in her absence, and her shame at what she perceives as her
failure in Austria. Life begins to look brighter once Marjane finds a group of like-minded friends, falls in
love, and begins studying art at a university--until the repression and state-sanctioned chauvinism lead
her to question whether she can have a future in Iran.

Persepolis: The Complete Persepolis
Written & Illustrated by Marjane Satrapi
Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's wise, funny, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the
Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, she tells the story of her life in
Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the
Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken child of
committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran's last emperors, Marjane bears witness
to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country. Intensely personal, profoundly political,
and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a stunning reminder of the human
cost of war and political repression.6x9 Format, 352 PGS.
