THE ACME NOVELTY LIBRARY #21 coming soon!
Let me know if you want to reserve a copy

Artist, writer and ink pundit F. C. Ware returns to the high-stakes, hard-hitting pageantry of the American comic book

This new, unasked-for number of the late 20th century experiment The ACME Novelty Library continues its winning run as the time-tested vehicle for delivering sheer disappointment, disgorging wedges of several in progress stories possibly cogent in their completed forms but here rendered disorienting and dissatisfying as fragmentary, incoherent excerpts. Mirroring the disintegrating nation which coddled both the artist’s preadolescent delusions if not the very 20th century fashion for cartooning itself, the 21st volume of The ACME Novelty Library comes of age just in time to stress-test the 250th anniversary of America’s ongoing indulgence of humanity’s most venal appetites behind a threadbare scrim of lofty and perfidious constitutional ideals. A remedy for those weary of regular stage-four cultural botox injections and a last hurrah for sensitive bipeds who have fallen through the cracks of life and who would prefer to stay home with a booklet of cheerfully colored picture stories, it’s what all the kids are talking about.

Three (3) securely bound and unaccountably legible 24-page saddle-stitched comic books accompany a large foldout comic strip newspaper section, the whole conveniently compacted into an attractively designed keepsake folio allowing for easy disposal and/or tindering in the event of sudden societal collapse. Alice White, The Last Saturday, and a cast of unnamed and almost completely unfamiliar protagonists are all here in little hand-drawn boxes to keep you company on that upcoming rainy afternoon when you watch your hopes, dreams and perhaps even your country go up in smoke.

Can comic books corrupt the youth?

In the 1950s, plenty of respectable adults were convinced the answer was yes — and psychiatrist Fredric Wertham became one of the loudest voices making the case.

Our October Graphic Novel Club selection, Dr. Werthless by Harold Schechter and Eric Powell, digs into Wertham, the crusade against comics, and one of the strangest chapters in the history of the medium.

Come discuss it with us at Mission: Comics & Art on Thursday, October 8th at 7pm.

Comics about the man who tried to ruin comics. What could be more appropriate for a comic book club?
