Simon Hanselmann Libros

Terry es la primera antología de Fulgencio Pimentel. En su interior, cómics de autores de nueve países -Japón, Australia, Bélgica, Estados Unidos, Canadá, Francia, Noruega, Argentina y España-, historietas creadas para la ocasión junto a otras que se pueden considerar clásicos del medio. Es una selección que no se circunscribe a ningún género pero bebe de una multitud de ellos, rebosando humor, lirismo y audacia, con la excelencia artística como único criterio. No se rían porque es así. Por su extensión y su peso específico, los tres pilares de la antología son Vivíamos entre las flores, de Seiichi Hayashi (40 págs.), Porto Louro, de Los Bravú (26) y Grises, de Olivier Schrauwen (21). Pero Terry también supone el debut en España de autores internacionales como Sébastien Lumineau, Sindre Goksøyr y Michael DeForge, en la que es su primera publicación en nuestro país fuera de Hora de aventuras. Autores como Sammy Harkham, Bendik Kaltenborn, Nacho García y Simon Hanselmann participan con páginas magistrales no recogidas en ninguna de sus respectivas ediciones españolas, mientras Jim Woodring, el legendario autor de la monumental serie Frank, ha creado una historia del personaje solo para esta antología. Por último, la editorial se siente feliz y orgullosa de añadir a su catálogo nombres como los de Rayco Pulido, José Ja Ja Ja, Ed Carosia, Peter Jojaio y Gonzalo Rueda. (Fuente: Fulgencio Pimentel)

Owl is gone, Werewolf Jones has moved in, and everything as Megg and Mogg know it begins to fall apart. Hanselmann’s comic premise of his previous graphic novels ― eternally stoned, slacker roommates ― stretches at the seams as his characters reflect the psychological toll that their years of unsustainable, determined insouciance and self-medication has inflicted.

Simon Hanselmann’s previous two Megg & Mogg books have both been New York Times best-sellers, and One More Year continues to cement Hanselmann as one his generation’s defining graphic novelists. Megg the witch, Mogg the cat, and their friends Owl and Werewolf Jones are imbued with far more pathos and depth than seems plausible. One More Year continues to give more substance to the characters and personalities of its protagonists in ways that never fail to surprise, delight, and horrify.

In March 2020, as the planet began to enter lockdown, acclaimed cartoonist Simon Hanselmann decided that what the world needed most was free, easily accessible entertainment, so he set out to make the greatest webcomic ever created! The result is also certain to be one of the most acclaimed and eagerly anticipated graphic novels of 2021. As the Covid-19 pandemic continued to escalate far beyond any reasonable expectations, Crisis Zone escalated right alongside, in real time, with daily posts on Instagram. Crisis Zone's battle mission was to amuse the masses: no matter how horrible and bleak everything seemed, at least Werewolf Jones wasn’t in your house! Over the course of 2020, Crisis Zone has amassed unprecedented amounts of new fans to the Megg and Mogg universe and is presented here, unabridged and uncensored, with a slew of added pages and scenes deleted from the webcomic, as well as an extensive “Director’s Commentary” from Hanselmann himself.

In 2016, Hanselmann began producing Xeroxed zines starring the depressive Megg (a green-skinned witch), her abusive boyfriend Mogg (an actual cat), their submissive roommate Owl (a vaguely humanoid owl), and the self-destructively hedonistic Werewolf Jones (half human, half wolf) in print runs of 300 to 500 copies, with hand-painted covers, custom stamps and hologram security stickers. Seeds and Stems collects all of these out-of-print, self-published stories produced by the artist between 2016-2019, along with a generous smattering of rarities from various anthologies and magazines. Megg and Mogg and friends explore the worlds of lucid dreaming, banking scams, cinema, mixed drinks, alien invasions, and budget vasectomies in this varied collection of rare and often experimental adventures, designed and curated entirely by the artist.

Megg is a depressed, drug-addicted witch. Mogg is her black cat. Their friend, Owl, is an anthropomorphized owl. They hang out a lot with Werewolf Jones. This may sound like a pure stoner comedy, but it transcends the genre: these characters struggle unsuccessfully to come to grips with their depression, drug use, sexuality, poverty, lack of work, lack of ambition, and their complex feelings about each other in ways that have made Megg and Mogg sensations on Hanselmann's GirlMountain tumblr. This is the first collection of Hanselmann's work, freed from its cumbersome Internet prison, and sure to be one of the most talked about graphic novels of 2014, featuring all of the “classic” Megg and Mogg episodes from the past five years as well as over 70 pages of all-new material.

In the tradition of the once ubiquitous British hardback annuals comes the Werewolf Jones & Sons Deluxe Summer Fun Annual! One hundred fun-filled seasonal pages of spoofs and goofs for the whole family to enjoy (no minors allowed)!

Megg the witch, Mogg the cat, their friend Owl, and Werewolf Jones struggle unsuccessfully with their depression, drug use, sexuality, poverty, lack of ambition, and their complex feelings about each other. It’s a laff riot! Megg and Mogg decide to take a trip to Amsterdam for some quality couple time, although the trip gets off to a rocky start when they forget their antidepressants. They need Owl to come and help them save their relationship. But why does he have a suitcase full of glass dildos? And what will they do when they realize that the housesitting Werewolf Jones has turned their apartment into a “f#@k zone”? Megg & Mogg in Amsterdam collects all of Simon Hanselmann’s contributions to Vice.com, the Ignatz Award-nominated short story “St. Owl’s Bay,” and other surprises that will add additional color and background for fans of Megahex.

"Alternative comics stalwarts Megg, Mogg, Owl, and Werewolf Jones are thrust feet first into the quarantines, the politics, and the insanity of 2020, in a winding, unrelenting tale that bounces rapidly between comedy, horror, action, gender studies, and relational soap-operatics"--Page 4 of cover.

Hajp: nasze wiecznie najebane i zaćpane kochane patusy, Megg i Mogg snują się przez życie pełne jazgotliwych błazeństw i pozbawione jakichkolwiek konsekwencji. Ale ćpuństwo, które niegdyś wzbudzało w nich ducha przygody, w końcu zaczyna się odbijać na ich psychice. Megg musi zwrócić się ku swej przeszłości i odkryć źródło autodestrukcyjnych zachowań, które pchnęły ją na tę mroczną ścieżkę.
