DAISY KUTTER: THE LAST TRAIN
Daisy Kutter is a retired bank robber and legendary gunfighter who has decided to open a dry goods store in the small town of Middleton. The sheriff, her ex-boyfriend Tom McKay, tries to recruit her to join him on the other side of the law, but she isn’t quite ready to move on.
When Daisy loses everything she owns in a high-stakes poker tournament, she is offered a job from the stranger who cleans her out at the table. He wants to hire her to rob his train. What’s the catch? He believes his vaunted robotic security system will stop Daisy in her tracks, and he wants to prove it. If she succeeds in robbing the train, she can keep the gold and have her life back…
OCTOBRIANA Russia. 1968. The government has legislated society and sexuality. You are afraid to love, but Octobriana fights for you. Deep in Siberia, Liuba Kulagina has been a prisoner of science since she first displayed telepathic powers. Her only relationship was an affair she had in the mind of her guard, for which he is killed. Liuba takes revenge on all of Russia and releases a thought-plague that strikes lovers across the country. Octobriana takes notice. Left alone after being molded from the corpse of a dead god by pagan social activists, Octobriana is the goddess of passion, protecting a people at the same time she fights to understand them. With her gun in hand and her godhood on the line, she sets out across Russia’s weird, 1960s landscape to put an end to Liuba’s fury and rescue her people’s passion.

SAD ANIMALS By Adam Muese. The Comics Journal says, “Sad Animals is probably his best known comic, and it certainly packs the most punch. It’s an exploration of self-loathing and depression as seen through the eyes of cutely-drawn animals, with one image per page.”
FIRST SEMESTER Eighty pages of gag panels that are guaranteed to make you laugh! These things really happened in creator Jeff Sharp’s classroom!
