New Releases by Alison Bechdel

Boken forteller historien om to mennesker som lever under samme tak, men i to forskjellige verdener. Forfatteren tar utgangspunkt i sin egen oppvekst på landsbygda i Pennsylvania, og fokuset er på hennes kompliserte forhold til faren, en homoseksuell engelsklærer og den nåværende eieren av begravelsesbyrået som har tilhørt familien i tre generasjoner. Tegneserien tar for seg temaer som seksuell orientering, kjønnsroller, selvmord og gir verdenslitteraturen en sentral rolle i å forstå seg selv og egen familie.

"There''s definitely an invasion afoot in the latest installment in Alison Bechdel''s Dykes to Watch Out for series, but just who''s invading whom is unclear. Are Mo and her friends having an impact on the world or merely splattering on its windshield? Mo is forced to work her way through library school by slinging best sellers at Bounders Books-N-Muzak. Sparrow is ambivalent about new motherhood. Clarice and Toni discover 10-year-old Raffi jacking ears and picking up prostitutes on his best friend''s computer. And Sydney''s first mammogram yields some very bad news. If this isn''t enough to turn your hair gray, it all unfolds against the grim rainbow-colored backdrop of the Homeland Security Advisory System. Join our conflicted friends as they struggle to save this fragile, fearful planet with attachment-parenting, patriotic dissent, good sex, library cards, and a dedicated resistance to the forces of order and decency wherever they rear their ugly heads."--Publisher''s description.

Seit 20 Jahren beleuchtet Alison Bechdel lesbisches Leben und Lieben in einer Comicreihe, die mittlerweile ein Klassiker ist. Im nunmehr 7. Band durchlebt Mo, unser aller Lieblingsgriesgram, turbulente Zeiten: Ihr Job gerät in Gefahr, ihre Ex Clarice zeigt Anzeichen von Fußballer-Mutteritis, ihre beste Freundin Lois nennt sich fortan Louis, und Sparrow überlegt, ob es mit ihrer Identität als radikallesbischer Feministin vereinbar ist, mit ihrem Freund ein Kind zu haben ...

In the tenth book in the best-selling lesbian comic series that has become an international treasure, Mo, Clarice, Lois, Sparrow and Toni square off on questions of idealism, violence, compassion, patriotism and dissent. As they hash out their ideological differences, a black-and-white world takes on surprisingly variegated shades of grey. Syndicated worldwide and in Diva magazine, this newest addition to the series is guaranteed to take the UK lesbian community by storm.

Mo considers a panoply of possible gender permutations. Angst with her as she inquires: If she were a transsexual woman, a bisexual man, or a straight woman with a penchant for gay girls, would she still be a dyke to watch out for?

Go behind the pen and into the psyche of "dyke to watch out for" Alison Bechdel, cartoon chronicler extraordinaire, as the inner workings of lesbiana''s most quick-witted, longest-running social commentator are revealed. Illustrations throughout.

Big changes are set in motion when many of Alison Bechdel''s best-loved lesbian gals find themselves on the move in this eighth cartoon collection. Illustrations.

Alison''s Bechdel''s cartoons are a libidinous commentary on the tsunami of lesbian erotica surging through the culture. The familiar cast of characters will keep readers laughing as their carnal mores are revealed.

The sixth collection of Bechdel''s comic lampoons of lesbian life revisits Ginger, Mo, Lois, and Toni''s early lives.

This is the fifth collection of work from Bechdel''s signature comic strip, Dykes to Watch Out For. In this volume, Toni and Clarice are having a baby and of particular note is the long sequence created just for readers of Spawn--the birth itself. Where babies come from may never look the same again.

Grin, giggle, and guffaw your way through this celebrated cartoonist''s graphic commentary of contemporary lesbian life.

The third collection of work from Bechdel''s signature comic strip, Dykes to Watch Out For.

Irksomely earnest Mo makes her debut in this, the second collection of work from Bechdel''s signature comic strip. Mo''s at loose ends--unemployed, unintentionally celibate and unable to come to grips with a regrettable haircut. What could the unflappable Harriet possibly see in her? Perhaps the answer lies in the "mildly erotic" account of their first night together ...
