Remember to take your weekly prescription of comics on Friday Zine and Indie Pub Spotlight day!

🏩🧬 Shrimp Soup by local cartoonist Devin Vincent is an ongoing fiction series about a medical research business and the guinea pig "volunteers" under its care. Want to read some healthcare horror? Stop by the shop and get your copy today!

💵💊 Here’s a sample (no spoilers, I promise): The PARVA facilities’ motto is “making a difference, together”. But at whose expense? The new director senses something ominous lurking beneath the surface of the medical research compound.

Vincent’s foreboding atmospheric storytelling gives me goosebumps. The textured linework and varied shading is just gorgeous!

See you geeks next week! -Cicely

On this special episode of Comedy Central: it's Friday Zine and Indie Pub Spotlight day!

🛠️🔮 Fortune's Dismemberent by local cartoonist Slam Hamburgger is the creator's debut zine. 20+ pages of uninsured shenanigans are hurtling towards your head! Quick! Stop by the shop and snag your own copy before- CRASH! BANG! NEIGH! BAM!

🍔💀 Here’s a sample (no spoilers, I promise): Hapless heavy machinery operators test the cruel hand of fate. What could go wrong? Nothing at all...surely? F ups and horseplay abound in this hysterical zine.

🩷 Slam Hamburgger’s absurd comedy is refreshing and unpredictable in the best possible way. I’m still thinking about “go suck an egg.” XD

See you geeks next week! -Cicely

🎉EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Come by the shop on Saturday, May 30th to meet artist Trygve Faste and celebrate the release of "Infected for Science"!

📆 WHEN? Saturday, March 30th
⏰ TIME? 4 - 6 pm
📍WHERE? 1401 SE Division St, Portland OR @ Books with Pictures

IMG TEXT:
During World War II, religious pacifist David Miller and a group of conscientious objectors Made an extraordinary choice: they signed up for government-sponsored medical experiments that intentionally infected them with hepatitis. Their goal was simple but dangerous―help scientists understand a disease that was sickening American soldiers fighting on the front lines.

Infected for Science tells this remarkable true story through the striking artwork of Trygve Faste and Sydney Halpern’s deeply researched narrative. Drawing on archival records and the sharp, humorous cartoons Miller himself sketched, the graphic novel follows the men through grueling medical tests and the looming fear of serious illness.

Join us in the Books with Pictures Garden (or inside, if the weather is poor) for a talk on manga history and culture.

Andrea Horbinski began studying Japanese in college after she started watching anime in high school, and went on to research hypernationalist manga in Kyoto on a Fulbright Fellowship. While pursuing her PhD in history and new media at the University of California, Berkeley, she harnessed her love of manga and pop culture, writing a general history of manga in its historical and global contexts for her dissertation. Along the way, she uncovered the role that fans of manga have played in the medium’s development since its earliest decades, mirroring her own experience in sci-fi and online fandoms since childhood. Free to attend!
