MY TIME MACHINE By Carol Lay
$24.99 / HC / 168 pgs / FC / 7.5" × 10.5"
After finding the blueprints to the Time Traveler of H.G. Wells' novel, a middle-aged woman constructs a (more or less) functioning time machine and decides to save humanity from itself. She heads into the future, encountering ecological collapse and an America that has devolved into full-blown totalitarianism. My Time Machine is both a sly, cautionary political satire and a rollicking time travel story, full of edge-of-your-seat suspense, breezy badinage, and a deeply felt wonder at the universe. It is serious and funny, timely and timeless (literally).

OCULTOS By Laura Pérez
$24.99 / HC / 152 pgs / FC / 9.5" × 6.7"
Ocultos swirls together a series of stories that form a bridge between our world and the next, where thoughts and dreams can bend and shape reality. A woman in therapy is haunted by disturbing visions; a lonely widower feels a presence in her house; a little boy sees bright lights flash across the night sky. Celebrated Spanish comics artist Laura Pérez (Totem) presents another entrancing vision of magic and mystery. Artfully rendered in her signature wispy, atmospheric pencil, Ocultos is a spiritual, reflective work that will leave you spellbound.

ELISE AND THE NEW PARTISANS By Dominique Grange & Tardi
$29.99 / HC / 176 pgs / BW / 8.75" × 11.75"
Feted French cartoonist Tardi masterfully dramatizes the activist and singer Dominique Grange's gripping first-person account of the student protests that rocked France from the '60s to the '70s. Drawn with typical mastery by legendary French cartoonist Tardi, this graphic novel resonates powerfully at a time when the fight against injustice still rages.
