GRAMMATON PUNCH TPB

Van Nguyen isn't like other kids. Born on an eclipse, he has the ability to see and lay hands on the parasitic ghosts that feed off the energy of unsuspecting people. Van's abilities have made him a loner, but as he starts his freshman year of high school he finds himself confronting his own self-imposed boundaries while struggling to protect his classmates from the frenzy of spirits feeding off their adolescent energy.

Miles Gunter (BPRD) and newcomer Briane Andan take you on a wild ride full of action, humor, teen angst and heart.

POPEYE - MAN OVERBOARD HC

Visually stunning and poetic - the story of Popeye before he became Popeye!

But this isn't exactly the Popeye you know. In this graphic novel there are other layers. A melancholy and beauty that only the exuberant watercolor art of Lelis and the sharp, sensitive script of Antoine Ozanam could express.

Unlike the famous cartoons, the Popeye of this tale is an unlikely hero who could be found in any port around the world. In the story, a strange girl with flowery language arrives to hit him in his healthy eye. He's too old for her, but Olive is his girl, without a doubt. Like any man in love, reason disappears, and Popeye agrees to go on an adventure with Olive's brother...in search of a fabulous treasure.

ABLAZE is proud to bring this acclaimed work of French writer Ozanam and multi-award-winning Brazilian artist Lelis to English readers worldwide. A brilliant reinterpretation of the origin of the character. And a magnificent adventure story!

KINKY KARROT PRESENTS - OFF THE BEATEN PATH (STANDARD EDITION HC)

Sex and relationships are the last thing Lizzy is thinking about when she moves to the big city. She is completely focused on starting her studies, looking for a job, and living with her sarcastic, older roommate Elva, which is still unfamiliar.

When she visits a sex shop for the first time out of curiosity, Lizzy begins to explore her own sexuality and discovers a whole new side of herself. An exciting side. From dating apps to sex toys to bondage, she tries out lots of things and slowly discovers her interest in the kinkier side of sex.

However, this journey is not without challenges: she must deal with the uncertainties of modern dating, financial worries and the question of how she wants to shape her relationships and sex life in the future. Lizzy faces great challenges that offer great opportunities - anything but frivolous!
