His comic book series, Hate , chronicled the exploits of twentysomething Buddy Bradley and his gang of lovable losers through the rise and fall of the grunge era (and eventually beyond).

It's a work that will feel as relevant to those of us who experienced the lockdown even as we get years distant from the event, as if its captured those feelings in amber where time cannot diminish them.-- \"AIPT Comics\" Review Quotes : Here Vila proves himself not only as a good artist and storyteller, but also as a skilled writer, who understands people as well as visual storytelling.

What museums don't know is that this artist is the missing father to the three \"Cat's Eye\" siblings.

When Cat's Eye tightropes another canvas out of a heavily guarded exhibit, the cops are pressed to apprehend the thief. Can the sisters discover the truth about their missing father?

Influential among the \"New Wave\" manga artists in the late 70s and early 80s, Takano was one of the first women manga artists to publish in outlets not explicitly aimed at a female readership. She won the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2003, and in 2015 she was the second-ever manga artist to win the Iwaya Sazanami Literary Award. She lives in Tokyo. Alexa Frank is an editor and translator of Japanese.

She lives in New York. Review Quotes : \"Ruki's gently funny adventures have the appeal of iyashikei (\"healing\") manga, but Takano's exceptional cartooning skills and attention to human detail elevate them to a category all their own. Like the café drinks that Ruki and Ecchan commiserate over, it's a small, perfect treat.\" -- Publishers Weekly \" Miss Ruki is an unconventional manga by a master of the art less known outside of Japan . . .

One of her most daring, delightful manga, acclaimed in Japan and Europe, is here, thanks to Alexa Frank's sparkling translation of Miss Ruki. \" --Daniel Meyerowitz, The Comics Journal Publisher Marketing : Chosen by the Washngton Post as one of the Best Comics of 2025 A young woman rejects the fast-paced consumer culture of 1980s Japan in favor of a slower, more carefree lifestyle in this tenderhearted, sweetly funny classic of slice-of-life manga. A classic of Japanese manga, Miss Ruki is a warm and vivid portrait of the lives of two young women in Tokyo during Japan's 1980s bubble economy. The titular Miss Ruki spurns the fast-paced consumer culture of the era in favor of a lighthearted life dedicated to her hobbies, her books, and spending time with her anxious but far more pragmatic friend, Ecchan. Takano's art moves with all the warmth, grace, and clarity of the everyday moments it depicts. Sweet and funny, these vignettes of a long-gone time still resonate today with readers and authors in Japan, with famed contemporary manga artist Keigo Shinzo noting, \"To read it is to grasp something of the essence of Japan.... This is the kind of manga I want to draw.\" Miss Ruki is a vertical comic strip meant to be read right to left; each story begins in the top right panel and continues down the column before moving leftward.

Going beyond mere satire, Bagge's observations helped fashion the aesthetics and attitudes of the only significant youth movement to emerge from the Pacific Northwest.

His animated, rubber-hose-limbed characters vibrate on a frequency midway between the aggro exaggeration of Robert Crumb and the emotional expressiveness of Charles Schulz.-- \"Publishers Weekly\" Review Quotes : Bagge's cartooning is at its elastic best with his vast cast's emotional states forever imprinted on us for their extreme visual characterization. If you were at all concerned that this was a revival that would have nothing new to say in 2024 you would have been very much mistaken. Hate Revisited! is a triumph!-- \"Broken Frontier\" Review Quotes : A skillful continuation of Buddy Bradley's misanthropic saga, offering a brutally funny, and occasionally surprisingly poignant, reflection on aging, relationships, and personal growth.-- \"Library Journal\" Review Quotes : This is a perfect revival of a classic comic series and an apt reflection of what is happening in America today. This is one that alternative comic fans new and old will not want to miss.-- \"The Turnaround Blog\" Review Quotes : Peter Bagge is one of my all-time favorite cartoonists. He has a style unto his own. You can definitely pick out a Buddy Bradley drawing out of a lineup. Not only is his cartooning great, but his writing is hilarious. One of the only cartoonists that can make me laugh out loud literally.-- \"Taylor Talks Comics\" Review Quotes : Outrageous and topical. ... Bagge keenly and humorously observes our divided and divisive culture, grounding the work in his affinity for family.-- \"Kirkus Reviews\" Review Quotes : [Bagge's] characters are still hysterically entertaining after over 35 years in print because they're inscrutable, often act like assholes, and serve as reflections of people we really know in our own lives. Bagge has long used our political and social combustibility as comedic kindling to ignite Hate's elastic, slapstick satire, and in Hate Revisited it is more pronounced than ever before.-- \"The Arts STL\" Publisher Marketing : Buddy Bradley and Lisa Leavenworth, now middle aged with a free-spirited young adult of their own, confront their own poor decisions as young people in the grungy 1990s. Expertly shifting between the present day (in full color) and their Gen X heyday (in glorious, crosshatched black-and-white), we learn for the first time the story of how Buddy met Lisa, Stinky, George, and Val. Meanwhile, Buddy is forced to come to terms with the tragic -- and covered-up -- circumstances of Stinky's untimely death in the original Hate series, while navigating elder care, contemporary politics, family and friendships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 124 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-07-08\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47193614942434,"sku":"9798875000485","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9798875000485.jpg?v=1765277190"},{"product_id":"9798893730036","title":"My New Life as a Cat Vol. 10","description":"\u003cp\u003eCAT LIFE IN THE SNOW, AND MORE!The crazy life of Nao, a boy who got into an accident and woke up in a cat's body, continues!

She wonders: can she pull humanity out of its death spiral by writing a scathingly self-critical memoir about her own greed and privilege? Meanwhile, Alison's first graphic memoir about growing up with her father ... has been adapted into a highly successful TV series. It's a phenomenon that makes Alison ... the envy of her friend group (recognizable as characters, now middle-aged and living communally in Vermont, from Bechdel's beloved comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For). As the TV show ... racks up Emmy after Emmy--and when Alison's Pauline Bunyanesque partner Holly posts an instructional wood-chopping video that goes viral--Alison's own envy spirals.

It is a pleasure to see Bechdel take up the satirist's pen once more.\" - Vulture \"[S]elf-deprecating and delightful . . .
