yeah, man, this is the kinda book for me.  'Days Longer Than Long Pork Sausages' (or DLTLPS) by spanish cartoonist Gabriel Corbera.  Two hardcore dudes on a seemingly endless trek through a dangerous and and abandoned dungeon.  Peril is at every turn, joy is fleeting, and the remnants of a forgotten day are everywhere; salvaged for a meager bite to eat or for fuel or weapon.  Corpses rot, spirits haunt, the trek is a long journey; possibly endless.  How long have these men been lost?  Will they ever get out?  No one knows, but we do know they like to flex their massive neck muscles in rage a lot.

This book is deep, far deeper than I will ever fathom.  Visiting and revisiting only reveals its poetry more and more.  "I can easily picture these paws choking hens without remorse," and "a bard amongst fishers, looking for words like a sentinel regarding bats in the night." are phrases that haunt me for days after reading this tome, which should have been bound in bones and skin but that's illegal.  

The publisher, space face books, is putting out some serious avant garde and brain blasting skronk comix of the kind I crave.  If you're smart, go buy this book and their whole catalog.  Gabriel's other minis are worth a look to, shipped in an affordable and timely manner from Spain.  These books I dig, oh yes.

We'll also be representing the outstanding Space Face Books, with copies of all their latest books on sale, including Simon Hanselmann's Life Zone and Jonny Negron's Loose Joints. We're very excited that JMKE, whose Emmy was published by Space Face last year will be joining us too all the way from nearby Brighton.

Most excitingly though, we'll have a very limited edition new book by Antoine Cosse, NWAI, a landscape format, Risograph printed comic in Antoine's classic magic realist style. We expect the book to sell out at ELCAF so make sure you come down if you want a copy! Any we have left over will end up at our online store shortly after the festival.
