Cartoonist
Steve Lafler teams up with publisher CO2 to release Ménage
a
Bughouse.
a 408-page volume collecting Lafler's trilogy of Bughouse
graphic novels, Bughouse,
Baja
and Scalawag.
Lafler
will be touring the U.S. during July to promote Ménage
a
Bughouse.
The Bughouse tour comes to Bergen Street Comics in Brooklyn, NY at 7
p.m. on July 13, with a panel discussion of Lafler's new book. The
panel will feature rising art-comics star Austin English and CO2
publisher Gerry Giovinco.
Bughouse
is the story of Jimmy Watts and his band of jazz playing bugs. The
character driven story is set in a stylish “insect-noir” world,
invoking an indigo-toned Manhattan of the early 1950s. Be-bop is
king, and the alluring substance “bug juice” threatens to destroy
the players against a backdrop of romance and intrigue.
Ménage
a
Bughouse retails
for $24.99. A hardback edition will be available for $39.99. The
large format book (8.5 x 11) showcases Lafler's fluid brushwork.
“Steve
Lafler is a master cartoonist and his work is in a class by itself;
an unpredictable amalgam of fun, intelligence, breeziness and
glorious strangeness that keeps your eyes fed and your synapses
sizzling.” --Jim Woodring
