Beginning with the experiments of Saul Steinberg, through some of the more psychedelic creations of R. Crumb, and more recently, cartoonists created comics whose panels contain little to no representational imagery, and which tell no stories. Reduced to the panel grid, brushstrokes, and sometimes colors, abstract comics highlight the formal mechanisms that underlie all comics. The first collection devoted to this genre, Abstract Comics: The Anthology, is edited by Andrei Molotiu, an art historian and contemporary abstract-comic creator. It gathers the best abstract comics so far, including early experiments by Gary Panter, Moebius, Patrick McDonnell, and Lewis Trondheim, and pieces by little-known pioneers such as Benoit Joly, Bill Boichel and Jeff Zenick, as well as by recent practitioners such as Ibn al Rabin, Billy Mavreas, Mark Staff Brandl, and many others. Abstract Comics also features first attempts, commissioned specifically for this anthology, by well-known cartoonists such as James Kochalka, Ivan Brunetti, J.R. Williams and Warren Craghead.

Fear of Comics is a collection of short stories from the acclaimed co-creator of Love & Rockets. Hernandez's work has frequently been compared to the fiction of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It collects for the first time the very best of Hernandez's short fiction from the pages of his New Love comic book series as well as the extremely rare Mr. X series, which first saw print in periodical form over ten years ago and are highly collectible today. Fear of Comics includes several stories in a magic realist vein, including Spirit of the Thing, in which a mysterious and glamorous white woman arrives in a small Mexican village and finds herself the subject of the town's gossip. Other stories include All With a Big Hello, Roy, Heroin, Glorified Magnified, She Sleeps With Anybody But Me, and Shout Ramirez and Her Very Best Friend, Dinky.
