BIG PICTUREBOX SALE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 8

A quick plug for the current sale going on at PictureBox right now, which has been extended until 2/8/09. If you didn't already know, PictureBox publishes a fair share of rad manga.



Details about the sale on their blog. A few highlights for Same Hat readers:

Each book is a stimulus package for the soul! Plus every purchase from now until February 8 will include a FREE copy of Paper Rad's DVD Problem Solvers. So, here we go:

* Curious about the book of which the New York Times exclaimed: "Few cartoonists of the moment are weirder or more original than Yuichi Yokoyama - his work obsessively diagrams architecture and design ... Travel is remarkably entertaining." Travel can now be yours for just $9.95!

* Want to dip into a graphic novel on nearly ever top ten of '08 list? Interested in Dune? Philip K. Dick? What about masterful drawing? Well, my friend, check out C.F.'s Powr Mastrs 2, now just $10!

* And then there's Monster Men Bureiko Lullaby! The Village Voice crows: "By depicting human behavior at its worst, Nemoto recalibrates the limits of what we can bear to consider on a page of comics." Damn straight. Yours for $8.95!

* Many consider Lauren Weinstein's The Goddess of War a shortform masterpiece of graphic storytelling. I sure do! Richard Gehr calls it a "A blend of Marvel's Thor comic, a Wagnerian space opera, and Anthony Mann's Westerns" Sounds right to me! Yours for just $7.95!

The sale also extends to rad prints by SH friend Jon Vermilyea. ONE NOTE: The shipping can be hella pricy (but fast), so you'll still be spending a bit here. But this seems to be the best way to get TRAVEL and MONSTER MEN direct.
