SelfMadeHero 2014

Our mission at SelfMadeHero is simple: to publish ground-breaking and beautiful work by authors and artists from across the globe, from the quirky and humorous to the political and profound. We are proud to bring readers illustrated narratives that provoke, entertain, inspire and inform.

This summer sees the release of the most hotly anticipated graphic novel of 2014, Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Seconds. Fans have been waiting four years for this standalone graphic novel, O’Malley’s first book since the final instalment of his million-selling Scott Pilgrim series. The book has already won praise from Guillermo Del Torro and Scott McCloud, among others.

Autumn sees the release of work from some of Britain’s finest creators, including Rob Davis’s darkly original story of teenage life, The Motherless Oven; I. N. J. Culbard’s adaptation of Lovecraft’s classic novella, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath; and Ricky Rouse Has A Gun by Jörg Tittel and John Aggs, an inventive action comedy set in a knockoff Disney theme park. We also celebrate party conference season with The Coalition Book, a collection of Guardian cartoonist Martin Rowson’s most brutally funny work from the era of coalition.

Our list of European books in translation continues with the second volume of Frederik Peeters’ Angoulême-winning sci-fi series, Aama, and the latest instalment of David B. and Jean-Pierre Filiu’s acclaimed graphic history of US-Middle East relations, Best of Enemies.

We love to hear from our readers, so be sure to let us know what you think @selfmadehero

It is an exquisite gift, though one not appreciated by Welles’ wife, Rita Hayworth. As he smokes these most coveted of cigars, he daydreams about the plump genius Conchita Marquez, whose story of triumph, despair, and love unfolds within the pages of this stunning and imaginative graphic novel.
