    tomboyTomboy: A Graphic Memoir by Liz Prince $15.99 – Tomboy follows Liz Prince through her early years and explores—with humor, honesty, and poignancy—what it means to “be a girl.” From staunchly refuting ”girliness” to the point of misogyny, to discovering through the punk community that your identity is whatever you make of it, Tomboy offers a sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking account of self-discovery in modern America.

    Age of License by Lucy Knisley (Fantagraphics) $19.99 – Knisley’s comics travel memoir recounts her adventures, punctuated by whimsical visual devices (such as a “new experiences” funnel), peppered with the cute cats she meets along the way, and features drawings and descriptions of food that will make your mouth water. Her experiences are colored by anxieties, introspective self-inquiries, and quotidian revelations — about traveling alone in unfamiliar countries, and about her life and career.

    Zines
    Stuck In the Vault #1 by Lynne Monsoon and Dalice Malice $2.00 – Lynne and Dalice are a rare breed — zinesters who get really into Disney. And I mean REALLY INTO DISNEY, like they do zines with titles like “Vegan Dining In Disney World.” They enlisted all their zinester buddies to contribute reviews of Disney movies, attempting to review every Disney movie ever made. This is issue #1, and who knows how long it will take or how many issues, especially because new movies come out all the time? Contributing reviewers this issue include Jonas, Jami Sailor and JC. -LM

    luckypeach12Lucky Peach #12 The Seashore $12.00 – Description as per the mag itself: It is all about food from littoral realms—the spaces where land meets sea. We dive for abalone and gather seaweed off the California coast; we harvest honey in the Bangladeshi Sundarbans; we go behind the scenes at a shrimp farm in Indonesia, and spend a Sunday at the cockle sheds in Leigh-on-Sea. We learn lots about edible sea beasts, from clams to hagfish to sea squirts. Anthony Bourdain takes us on a stroll down a beach town’s memory lane; Robert Sietsema samples practically all the clams on Long Island; Stuart Dybek catches himself a perfect breakfast in the Florida keys. We share recipes from Vietnam and Portugal and the Oregon coast—we aren’t shellfish. Also in this issue: a special, detachable sixteen-page BEACH READS comic book to take on your seaside jaunts, featuring Jason Jägel, Tony Millionaire, and more. It’s summertime and the reading is easy.
