GILBERT HERNANDEZ
“Mr. Hernandez captures the wonder of childhood”
—_New York Times_
As resonant with the children of today as the children of the sixties, Marble Season is the all-new semi-autobiographical novel by acclaimed cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez. The evocative story masterfully explores the redemptive and timeless power of storytelling and role play in childhood.
WASHINGTON National Book Fair Sunday, September 22nd
MIRIAM KATIN
Katin is a master storyteller in Letting It Go, an insightful and serious but also wry account of the myriad ways trauma infects daily existence, both for survivors and for their families.
“Katin eschews the use of panel borders for her gorgeously expressive color-pencil drawings, giving the narrative an irresistible flow. This… nuanced and inward-looking tale is an even greater testament to Katin’s remarkable storytelling abilities.”—_Booklist Starred Review_

Rutu Modan is an Israeli writer perhaps best known in the comics world for her first graphic novel, She is a talented writer and illustrator, and has been working in the comic industry for over two decades. In 1995, she and Yirmi Pinkus (with whom she co-edited the Hebrew edition of MAD Magazine) founded Actus Tragicus comics.

Modan has contributed to several Actus comics, and some of which were then published by Top Shelf Productions.
Both Exit Wounds and The Property are about human relationships, though the stories themselves are very different.
