Visual Narratives
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 spring, we mark the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth with Guardian cartoonist Martin Rowson’s graphic adaptation of The Communist Manifesto. In our current era of political upheaval, fifty years on from the uprising of May 1968, Marx and Engels’ revolutionary pamphlet remains one of the most influential and widely read works of political theory ever published. Released in February, the third volume of Best of Enemies, Jean-Pierre Filiu and David B.’s graphic history of US and Middle East relations, is a concise and engaging guide to a period that began with Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and ended with Obama’s decision, in 2013, not to intervene in Syria. March sees the release of the Klimowski Poster Book, a collection of work by the graphic artist Andrzej Klimowski who, in the 1970s, designed some of the most iconic and influential film and theatre posters ever made. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: An Art Book by Reinhard Kleist, also published in March, complements the German artist’s bestselling graphic biography Nick Cave: Mercy on Me, bringing together portraits of the musician and comic-book reimaginings of his songs. April sees the release of Javi Rey’s stunning graphic adaptation of Out in the Open, an award-winning novel by Jesús Carrasco. It is followed, in May, by John Harris Dunning and Michael Kennedy’s Tumult, a stylish contemporary thriller filled with mystery, murder and psychological intrigue. Finally, published in June, Matt Fitch, Chris Baker and Mike Collins tell the story of humanity’s greatest exploratory achievement – setting foot on the moon – in Apollo.

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.

or ten years, figure skating was Tillie Walden’s life. She woke before dawn for morning lessons,
went straight to group practice after school and spent weekends competing in glitter and tights. It was a central
piece of her identity, her safe haven from the stress of school, bullies and family. But over time, as she switched schools, got into art and fell in love with her first girlfriend, she began to question how the closed-minded world of figure skating fit in with the rest of her life. Poignant and captivating, award-winning comics artist Tillie Walden’s powerful graphic memoir captures what it’s like to come of age, come out and come to terms with leaving behind everything you used to know.
Tillie Walden is a cartoonist and illustrator from Austin, Texas. Born in 1996, she is a recent graduate of the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont. Her books include The End of Summer, A City Inside and I Love This Part. She has already received an Eisner Award nomination and two Ignatz Awards for her work.
