A big store favourite.

Hank Howard is a private eye on retainer at Caligula's Pizza, and he takes his job very... VERY seriously.

Light hearted pizza crimes slams right into the hard nosed Hank, and the results are delightful. Especially when the Australian mafia get involved.

Great for folks looking for a bit of lighthearted crime.

It's finally here!

The second volume of Stop!! Hibari-Kun! is now on our shelves with the first volume. Available at a few select locations around the world (and from the fine folks at PEOW2), these volumes translate a long lost classic about the daughter of a Yakuza boss who was assigned male at birth. It follows her often comedic adventures through life, with outstanding work from creator Hisashi Eguchi!

A little bit from Hachette to refill some shelves!

Folks, we’re looking to get better at sharing with you - in store happening and personal moments. We’re starting small - this little pile of books willed with creative treasures - each with different flavours. Some, personal favourites, and others, just stories that sounded interesting.

See anything here you like? Let us know, and share with our people! :)
