SelfMadeHero Autumn 2018

NOVELS & C I H P A R G AT I V E S R R A N L A U VIS

Our mission at SelfMadeHero is simple: to publish ground-breaking and beautiful work by authors and artists from across the globe, from the quirky and humorous to the political and profound. We are proud to bring readers graphic novels and visual narratives that provoke, entertain, inspire and inform.

This autumn, we publish a landmark graphic biography of the king of Pop Art. In Andy: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol, published in October, Dutch author Typex traces the remarkable life and extraordinary times of a transcendent artist and master self-publicist.

In September, another graphic biography, One Two Three Four Ramones, tells the story of America’s most influential punk band. In Bruno Cadène, Xavier Bétaucourt and Eric Cartier’s graphic novel, the group’s explosive story unfolds through the eyes of its creative soul: Dee Dee Ramone.

Kurt Vonnegut famously said that to leave technology out of fiction is to misrepresent life. In I Feel Machine, edited by Julian Hanshaw and Krent Able, graphic novelists including Shaun Tan, Tillie Walden, Erik Svetoft and Box Brown present their reports from the digital frontier.

In October, I.N.J. Culbard’s lean and thrilling adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s fiction are collected in Lovecraft: Four Classic Horror Stories, a beautifully produced hardback for collectors and fans of weird fiction.

Two works of original fiction, both released in October, complete our autumn list: Wolf by Rachael Ball is a captivating and emotive tale about childhood grief and overcoming the loss of a loved one, while Lip Hook by David Hine and Mark Stafford eschews the conventions of the horror genre to create a fresh and inventive story set in an eerie backwater of Britain.

unafraid of repetition. Obsessed with consumerism and the cult of celebrity, Warhol exalted the “surface of things” – and yet he was a man of deep complexity.

In Andy, Typex captures the remarkable life of the king of Pop Art, from his working-class upbringing in Pittsburgh to the dizzying heights of his celebrity. Spanning a period that began with the “talkies” and ended with the advent of house music, it is also a memorable portrait of 20th century pop culture and the stars who defined it.

Told through the eyes of Dee Dee Ramone, this graphic novel traces the life of the band’s creative soul, taking in his troubled years at a military school in Germany, his early experiences with opiates, his family’s relocation to New York and his first encounters with fellow misfits Joey, Johnny and Tommy.

One Two Three Four Ramones paints a fascinating portrait of the band’s development, from their dismal first show to Dee Dee’s death in 2002, shortly after the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

exas, 1872. With the Civil War over, exploration has resumed in the territories to the west of the Mississippi,

and geologist Stingley is looking to capitalise. Together with photographer Oscar Forrest, who catalogues the

terrain, and their young assistant Milton, Stingley strikes out

£24.99

into territory that might one day support a new civilisation.

But this is no virgin land. As the frontiersmen move west, it becomes clear that the expedition won’t go unchallenged. Stingley has led them into a hostile region: the native Comanches’ last bastion of resistance. In a spectacular landscape, under the looming threat of attack, the boundaries between the civilised and natural worlds dissolve. As social conventions disappear and personal inhibitions go into retreat, an intimate relationship develops between Oscar and Milton.

An intense Western, The Smell of Starving Boys explores the clash between two worlds: one defined by rationality and technology, the other by shamanism and nature.

Loo Hui Phang writes for comics, theatre and film. Born in Laos, she grew up in Normandy. Frederik Peeters is the author of Blue Pills, Pachyderme and Aama, among other books. He lives in Geneva.
