Comics News NBM in November: After Mr. O, it's Mr. I! By NBM Publishing September 23, 2006 - 12:43 In November from NBM, being solicited for in comics stores now: Trondheim is back with more crammed little bloody cartoons!   Mister I Lewis TRONDHEIM After the greatly successful subversively goofy Mr. O, here comes another batch of gags crammed with little frames showing the mishaps of Mr. i, who, no matter what he tries, always ends up killed, poor fellah. You gotta love him, he’s a walking disaster. 9x 11 ½, full color hardcover, $13.95, ISBN 1-56163-486-7 Here's only a minute part of the raves we got for Mr. O which is back to press for a 3rd time! "Trondheim's nimble pen strokes can imbue even a squiggle (or an "O") with humor and pathos. We turn each page as much to see if Trondheim will let his little man off the cliff as what he'll invent to keep him on it." -Washington Post "Lewis Trondheim's work falls somewhere between pure genius and "you've gotta be kidding me." The fact that Trondheim is able to convey emotion in a balloon-head stick figure is significant." -Michael Sangiacomo, Cleveland Plain Dealer/Newhouse papers "At first, the busy, crowded pages and postage-stamp-sized panels of Lewis Trondheim's book Mister O (NBM) seem repetitive and slightly intimidating, but each of his single-page, 60-panel cartoons opens up into its own fascinating, demented little world. Each of the 30 cartoons wordlessly follows a little anthropomorphic blob as it attempts to cross a crevice in increasingly outlandish ways, invariably with tragic results. Trondheim's sick, hilarious visual gags seem like creative new twists on Wile E. Coyote's famously unsuccessful obsession..." The Onion "The effect is reminiscent of a collection of Charlie-Brown-and-the-football strips or Road Runner cartoons stripped down to their barest, micro-minimal essence of line, color and existential frustration, and ending up with something universal and hilarious." -Publishers Weekly starred review New from ComicsLit: LUCIFER’S GARDEN OF VERSES Volume 4: Between The Devil and Miles Davis Lance TOOKS NOW IN PAPERBACK! Amo is a hardened journalist who smokes and drinks too much, though not nearly enough for her own taste. Assigned to profile the late jazz legend Miles Davis, she finds herself at a creative impasse. How does one approach such an 'overly-written-about' artist from a fresh angle, and what's her opinion worth anyway in a world so fast unraveling? At her wit's end, she stumbles into the mysterious 'Smokeasy', the only bar in Manhattan where adults are allowed to behave as such; and it is that misty room that Amo falls under the spell of a ghostly bartender. 6x9, 80pp., B&W, trade pb., $8.95, ISBN 1-56163-470-0 The hardcover drew this review: "The artwork is arresting." Library Journal Here's reactions to previous volumes from the press: "The world he draws is an appealing one, its sassy denizens rendered with energy." - Publishers Weekly I'm here to tell you: this guy is really, really good." -Marc Mason, MoviePoopShoot.com "4 Bullets! A provocative book, which took on some unique themes for an American comic. The interesting story drives the artwork, and this book achieves a unique quality." -Silverbulletcomicbooks.com   New from Eurotica:   BAYBA, Domina in Red Roberto BALDAZZINI In this second volume, young Bayba, before the 101 BJs, is ripening into a hot she-male as she is brought under the tutelage, and gives in to the demanding charms, of the luscious Domina in Red… 9x12, 48pp., full color trade pb.: $11.95, ISBN 1-56163-488-3   SIZZLE #32 Sizzle has never been better!
