Her whole life, Lucy Knisley wanted to be a mother. But when it was finally the perfect time, conceiving turned out to be harder than anything she’d ever attempted. Fertility problems were followed by miscarriages, and her eventual successful pregnancy was plagued by health issues, up to a dramatic, near-death experience in labour and delivery. Kid Gloves follows Lucy’s personal transition into motherhood, and it also illustrates the history and science of reproductive health from all angles, full of curious facts and inspiring (and notorious) figures in medicine and midwifery.

Drawn and Quarterly Are You Willing to Die for the Cause?
Book SynopsisA deep dive into a contentious and dramatic period in Canadian historythe rise of a militant separatist group whose effects still reverberate today.It started in 1963, when a dozen mailboxes in a wealthy Montreal neighborhood were blown to bits by handmade bombs. By the following year, a guerrilla army camp was set up deep in the woods, with would-be soldiers training for armed revolt. Then, in 1966, two high-school students dropped off bombs at factories, causing fatalities. What was behind these concerted, often bungled acts of terrorism, and how did they last for nearly eight years?In Are You Willing to Die for the Cause?, Quebec-born cartoonist Chris Oliveros sets out to dispel common misconceptions about the birth and early years of a movement that, while now defunct, still holds a tight grip on the hearts and minds of Quebec citizenry and Canadian politics. There are no initials more volatile in Quebec history than FLQthe Front de libération du Québec (or, in English, the Quebec Liberation Front). The original goal of this socialist movement was to fight for workers'' rights of the French majority who found their rights trampled on by English bosses. The goal became ridding the province of its English oppression by means of violent revolution.Using dozens of obscure and long-forgotten sources, Oliveros skillfully weaves a comics oral history where the activists, employers, politicians, and secretaries piece together the sequence of events. At times humorous, other times dramatic, and always informative, Are You Willing to Die for the Cause? shines a light on just how little it takes to organize dissent and who people trust to overthrow the government.

Cornerstone Hidden Systems: Water, Electricity, the Internet,
Book SynopsisWe use water, electricity, and the internet every day--but how do they actually work? And what’s the plan to keep them running for years to come? This nonfiction science graphic novel takes readers on a journey from how the most essential systems were developed to how they are implemented in our world today and how they will be used in the future.What was the first message sent over the internet? How much water does a single person use every day? How was the electric light invented?For every utility we use each day, there’s a hidden history--a story of intrigue, drama, humor, and inequity. This graphic novel provides a guided tour through the science of the past--and reveals how the decisions people made while inventing and constructing early technology still affect the way people use it today.Full of art, maps, and diagrams, Hidden Systems is a thoughtful, humorous exploration of the history of science and what needs to be done now to change the future.Trade Review"Hidden Systems is the book I’ll use to teach my kids how the internet works....incredibly readable." —The Verge★ “The true power of comics is on display here, with complex, difficult-to-comprehend structures presented both through a variety of metaphors and by placing those metaphors in context with simplified renditions of their real physical appearance.” —Booklist, starred review“Performs a valuable service.”— Kirkus Reviews “A necessary introductory approach to everyday systems that briefly interrogates the bias and inequalities imbedded within them.” —Publishers Weekly

Street Noise Books Nervosa
Book Synopsis“A vibrant graphic memoir full of dark humor, Nervosa is an insightful look into the torment of disordered eating that will be a source of comfort to others who struggle with their mental health.” —STARRED REVIEW, Foreword Reviews Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder. It is not a phase, a fad, or a choice. It is a debilitating illness, manifested in a distorted relationship with food, but which actually has more to do with issues of control. It is often a puzzle for doctors, therapists, parents, and friends. And so those who suffer from it are belittled, or tragically misunderstood, not only by society but by the healthcare system meant to treat it. Nervosa is a no-holds-barred, richly textured portrait of one young woman’s experience. In her vividly imagined retelling, Hayley Gold lays bare a callous medical system seemingly disinterested in the very patients it is supposed to treat. And traces how her own life was irrevocably damaged by both the system and her own disorder. With brutal honesty and witty sarcastic humor, Gold offers a remarkably candid exploration of the search for hope in the darkness. Trade Review“A perceptive, heart-wrenching, deeply personal, beautifully drawn story of the writer's difficult upbringing and efforts to overcome it.” —Will Shortz, crossword puzzle editor for The New York Times “An unflinching debut memoir filled with sharply recalled details and darkly funny observations. . . . bring[ing] the readers intimately into the emotions of living with an eating disorder.” —Publishers WeeklyA remarkably candid account. The compelling voice and graphic storytelling is intuitive and inventive throughout.” —David Mazzucchelli, author of Asterios Polyp "Pure gold. Brave and honest, poetic and balletic as it artfully dances into personal territory rarely touched in this medium." —Peter Kuper, author of the Eisner Award-winning Ruins “Unflinching and heart-rending and at the same time caustic and hilarious. The inventive visual metaphors and obvious pleasure in language show us that art and creativity can be a path to hard-won hope.” —Matt Madden, author of Ex Libris “Funny, cruel, moral, austere, decorative, despairing, and triumphant. Comics were invented so that Hayley Gold could write and draw Nervosa.”—Seth Tobocman, author of War in the Neighborhood “I couldn't put it down. This powerful memoir shows how eating disorder patients are denied agency, and how healing only starts when one is finally able to express their voice.”—Sarah Mirk, author of Guantanamo Voices “Structurally brilliant, and darkly humorous, this revealing graphic memoir is an excellent read for anyone who is looking for companionship in this experience, or a window into living life with this disease.”—Rachel Lindsay, author of RX: A Graphic Memoir “Brilliantly, and with equal parts of humor, horror, and self-knowledge, this book teaches us that there are no common-sense answers to the paradoxes of anorexia, and that readers who hope for an easy ‘cure’ should expect to have their preconceived notions of what that word means shattered and reconstructed.”—Jason Little, author of Borb

Book SynopsisA surreal vision of a post-alien-invasion Earth where human beings still have to deal with quotidian frustrations, ennui, and understanding their place in the world.Since the mid-1980s, the British cartoonist Chris Reynolds has been assembling a world all his own. On the surface, it seems much like ours: a place of cool afternoon shadows and gently rolling hills, half-empty trains and sleepy downtown streets. But the closer you look, the weirder it gets. After losing a mysterious intergalactic war, Earth is no longer in humanity’s control. Blandly friendly aliens lurk on the margins and seem especially interested in the mining industry. The very rules of time and space seem to have shifted: Mysterious figures suddenly appear in childhood photos, family members disappear forever without warning, power outages abound, and certain people gain the power of flight. A helmeted man named Jimmy is somehow causing local businesses to shutter and is being closely watched by the “trendy new police force,” Rational Control. The world is being remade, but in what image?This new collection, selected and designed by the acclaimed cartoonist Seth, includes short stories, a novella, and the full-length graphic novel Mauretania. It is the ideal guide to all the mystery and wonder of one of the most underappreciated cult classics in the history of comics.This NYRC edition is a hardcover with foil stamping, debossing, full-color endpapers, and extra-thick paper, and features new scans of the original artwork.
