Roadstrips is a unique comics anthology that takes a fresh look at our definitions of America in an era of upheaval and widespread soul-searching.
Like an "On the Road" for the 21st century, Roadstrips explores our national psyche through the work of 22 top cartoonists-among them Keith Knight, Matt Kindt, Peter Kuper, Gilbert Hernandez, Jessica Abel, Pete Bagge, Richard Sala, Brian Biggs, and Lloyd Dangle!
Exploring identity on both a micro and a macro level, they illustrate today's post-modern patchwork with bilious narratives, thoughtful tales, and hilarious memoirs. Taken together, their powerful and thoughtful stories create a composite national portrait like few others.

As a very young girl, Polina Oulinov is taken on as a special pupil by the famous ballet teacher Professor Bojinsky. He is very demanding and refuses to adapt his standards to the talents of his pupils, and Polina has to work hard and make great sacrifices in order to reach the level Bojinsky senses she has the talent for. When she graduates and is admitted to the official theatre school, she discovers that Bojinsky's view of ballet is only one of many and that she can't adapt to new rules, new visions. She flees Russia for Berlin, where she meets a group of drama students. Together they create a new form of theatre - and conquer the world. Brilliantly drawn, Polina is a moving and intimate story of self-discovery. It confirms Bastien Vives as one of the most exciting talents at work in the graphic novel field today.

In Awesome Future: Stories of Victorious Action, Weed, CA-based zinester Robnoxious wants you to come in from the cold. This beautifully-drawn comix collection says, "Welcome friend; rest your feet. Things are going to be okay." Awesome Future is positivity incarnate-but it's not a mindless feel-good trip. This is a positivity that knows things are kind of effed, that we're up against a wall most days, and that fighting the good fight is a noble, important thing-even if you don't always come out on top. (And it's a zine that says, In the end the realistic get what they want but it doesn't hurt to be a dreamer.) Comics include a beautifully-drawn look at a day in the life of Maxx the dog, a run-in with a bear, and, in the spirit of his last Microcosm zine, Shut Up and Love the Rain, a piece on keeping an open dialog about sexual desire. The mantra we get in these pages is "Punks Win," that singing loud in the midst of fear and making the best of darkness will have you reaping the rewards. Whether he's going in for a vasectomy, singing the praises of the sinus-clearing neti pot, or preaching healthy poopin' practices, Robnoxious does it all with a goodhearted sense of humor, an inclusive tone, and a constructive eye towards survival and a better world. So, come in from the cold and meet the latest Robnoxious zine. You are welcome here; this place is yours.
