Mome 9 - Gary Groth

The acclaimed quarterly comics anthology welcomes several new artists along with returning regulars Jonathan Bennett, Sophie Crumb, Andrice Arp, Paul Hornschemeir and Kurt Wolfgang. As a special feature, this volume - and the following Spring 2008 anthology - feature a 45-page Jim Woodring graphic novella entitled The Lute String, previously unpublished in the UK. The story features Woodring's signature characters - Frank, Pupshaw and Pushpaw - in a universe-bending saga that finds the trio in an unexpected world of flying, shrieking demons and monsters.
