In the Graphic Novels section, you’ll find a forgotten gem from a master of
French comics in The Green Hand and Other Stories. Collected in English for
the first time, Nicole Claveloux’s short stories are beautiful and strange,
ranging from full psychedelic color to start black and white, revealing a tales
of self-discover, romance, and more. Designed and introduced by Daniel
Clowes, this is a gorgeous edition to any shelf.

Our Kids & YA section features a deeply relatable new middle grade graphic
novel all about growing up and facing anxiety as a kid. Growing Pangs is the
story of Katie, who went from being care-free at summer camp with her best
friend to an anxious almost-sixth grader with new braces and a friend growing
distant. She does little things to help alleviate the anxiety, like tapping three
times or opening and closing drawers, but it doesn’t solve the root of her
problems. What’s going on with her? This is a perfect read for fans of Real
Friends and Guts, and any kid dealing with the stress of growing up.

The Manga section features Our Colors, a powerful new story from the Eisner
Award-winning creator of My Brother’s Husband, Gengoroh Tagame. Sora Itoda
is a sixteen-year-old aspiring painter trying to live honestly as a young gay
man in high school, but it’s still not acceptable in Japanese society. He finds a
mentor and friend in Mr. Amamiya, a middle-aged man who runs the local
coffee shop and is openly and unapologetically gay. Tagame’s newest story is
a mesmerizing coming-of-age and coming-out tale that can’t be missed.

Finally, our Gifts & Games section features a great gift for all the D&D fans out
there, The Dungeons & Dragons Tarot Deck. With all-new exclusive illustrations
depicting the various lore of Dungeons & Dragons, this deck comes with a
