Not New This Week But New to Our Website For Purchase:

Jumbly Junkery #9 by L. Nichols $5.00 – L. Nichols’ scratchy rag doll comics are often punctuated with mathematic or physics diagrams, sometimes with a goofball style, sometimes totally serious, always exposing the endearing inner nerd force driving the sort-of-stressed-out ramble through the Jumbly Junkery. The cover looks good next to your copies of Buzz– totally fly! -EF

Down and Derby The Insiders Guide to Roller Derby by var. (Soft Skull) $14.95 – This insider’s derby guide is an intro, a love letter and a cheeky, dishy guide to the fierce world of rollin’. It almost makes me want to kiss my teeth goodbye and strap a pair on. -EF

End of the City A Book of Afterwards by Oso Arcilla $4.00 – Nice, crisp poetry, like a tidy apartment or a wet forest floor, and touching on a little of everything. An especilly good one is about chilly pumpkin guts and another treat weaves about the rough edges of a drunken romancing, full of fine moments, pauses, twists. -EF

Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World by Paul Stamets (Ten Spreed) $35.00 – An introduction to the bioremediation potential of mushrooms with a far-reaching scope, Stamets passionately lays out how mycelial networks nourish our ecosystems and break down toxins both inside and outside our bodies. Did you know mycelial pathways can work symbioticlly with other plants to redirect nutrients to where they’re needed most? Or that mushrooms can be used to process the huge amounts of septic sludge generated by factory farming? I didn’t either until I read Mycelium Running, a truly eye-opening book that makes deep connections about ecological cycles of rot and regrowth. Important, digestible, home-grown- I’m pretty sure this hippie science is onto something. -EF

Dirty Hands #1 by David Alvarado $5.00 – A Sketchbook full of barf faces, Matt Furie-esque maniacal meatballs, vile non-sequitors and a great drawing of the old “floating finger” trick. -EF

There’s some rough rub-ups happening: Waliszewska’s little girls play some Dargerous games, Pierson topsy-turvys his Hollywood glossys and Lampinen comes in and blows everything to smithereens. That’s right, smithereens. Dare you to put the CD sampler on. -EF
