	Mr. Spic Goes to Washington ILAN STAVANS \| ILLUSTRATED BY ROBERTO WEIL Ilan Stavans crafts a humorous tale about norteño Latinos taking over the capital in this politically minded graphic novel. “Not surprisingly, [Ilan Stavans] has become a virtual godfather of Latino literature in the United States. Most of all, Stavans is treasured as a border crosser in every sense, a suitable intellectual for a global society and a steady innovator.” —San Francisco Chronicle SOFT SKULL PRESS \| 978-1-59376-198-1 \| Trade Paper \| $15.95

	The Wizard of Oz L. FRANK BAUM \| ILLUSTRATED BY GRAHAM RAWLE The story is the same, and yet it’s entirely different. Artist Graham Rawle has stripped the epic story of all remnants of Hollywood iconography, fashioning relentlessly modern, graphic characters and scenery in its place. Devoutly loyal to Baum’s original text, Rawle revitalizes the classic story in an Oz that is both surreal and surprising—just as it should be. COUNTERPOINT \| 978-1-58243-455-1 \| Cloth \| $29.95
