In 1991, legendary but down-and-out rock critic Paul Nelson was making a comeback and landed his dream assignment: fly from New York to Los Angeles and, separately, interview two of the most disparate popular music talents imaginable - Leonard Cohen and Lucinda Williams. Nelson reaches them at a time in their careers when both of them struggle with their respective record companies to be better understood and to be taken seriously. Nelson treats them as they deserve to be treated - as artists whose reputations as singer-songwriters are nonpareil. Over several days each, he burns over five and a half hours of tape talking with Williams and another ten and a half with Cohen, exploring their childhoods and upbringing, loves and losses, musical influences, and more. Neither of these journalistic treasures had seen the light of day by the time of Nelson''s death in 2006. I Like People That Can''t Sing, in addition to making these interviews available for the first time anywhere, takes a hard look at the reasons behind Nelson''s inability to bring them and other landmark interviews to fruition.

Artist Rick Geary turns his pen from vintage true crime to whimsy in his graphic novel adaptation of Daisy Goes to the Moon, a novella written by Mathew Klickstein and inspired by the real-life Victorian author Daisy Ashford''s successfully published juvenilia, written with the help of her parents: The Young Visiters. The Geary version stars little Daisy herself and pastiches everything in his unique visual stylisation from Alice in Wonderland to Peter Pan to The Wizard of Oz to late-19th-century/early-20th-century comics: Daisy is lured to adventure by a ''rokitship'' as she decides to go to the moon with a man named Mr. Z. They encounter many-eyed monsters, time travellers with TVs, her duplicate, a ''troobador,'' her sister, and more delights and vexations. Geary places his expressive, clean-line black-and-white figures, each with distinct body language, in ornate frames to denote settings and narrative layers. There''s verbal and physical comedy as characters (sometimes literally) bounce off each other. Geary''s rare artistic gift of being able to depict ornate period detail without sacrificing storytelling clarity or fun pairs perfectly with Klickstein''s imaginative writing. Showcasing elements of Philip K. Dick, Douglas Adams, and Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the book will delight readers as they discover Daisy''s playful, madcap space adventures.

On the heels of our collection of the cult classic Italian comic Squeak the Mouse, Fantagraphics is thrilled to present the outrageous comic strip series that started in the 1970s and which put the underground cartoonist Massimo Mattioli on the map. The anthropomorphic eagle Joe Galaxy is a swashbuckling space adventurer always on the make. Whether smuggling holo-videos of intergalactic porn, cheating at interstellar poker with bug-eyed monsters, or contending with the evil lizards of Calisto IV, our wisecracking hero finds himself embroiled in one absurd scenario after another. A dizzyingly boundless cartoon world chock full of parody, pop culture references, and oodles of over-the-top sex and violence, and drawn in a colorful and kinetic medley of styles, Joe Galaxy collects a nearly 25 year run of the strip and lays bare the twisted genius of its infamous creator. This luxe hardcover edition features every story in the Joe Galaxy universe, plus a bonus short penned by Mattioli in 2018, as well as a spirited intro by Coconino Press editor Oscar Glioti.
