Cover illustration: Hicotea by Lorena Alvarez
What an exciting season of titles we have for our readers. Some have been years in the making and none will disappoint!
Through A Life is the silent debut graphic novel from Tom Haugomat. Like the book’s protagonist, you will watch a life’s joys and tragedies through the frames of the world around you. Set on the French Riviera, Eileen Gray: A House in the Sun tells the story of one of the most talented, unsung design icons of the 20th Century. Moving on to California with In Waves; AJ Dungo intertwines his deeply moving personal story with the origins of surfing, introducing us to the pioneers of the ancient sport.
We now head further downstream, as we follow Charles Darwin’s maiden voyage in the gripping retelling of the HMS Beagle's journey in Darwin: An Exceptional Voyage. Next, Lorena Alvarez is back with her eagerly anticipated follow up to Nightlights. Hicotea: A Nightlights Story, is a beautiful modern day fairy tale with an environmental conscious twist.
Finally, the second book in Alexander Utkin’s Gamayun Tales series, The Water Spirit, is based on Slavic folk tales and is a joy to hold and a thrill to read.

Eileen Gray, the queer, Irish architect behind the worldrenowned E-1027 house and a pioneer of the Modern Movement in architecture.
In 1924, her work began in earnest on a small villa by the sea in the south of France. Nearly a century later, this structure is a design milestone. But like so many gifted female artists and designers of her time, Eileen Gray's story has been eclipsed by the men with whom she collaborated. Dzierżawska's exquisite visuals illuminate the previously overlooked struggles and triumphs of a young queer Irish designer whose work and life came to bloom during the "Annes Folles" art and cultural movement of early 20th century Paris.
Charlotte Malterre-Barthes is a French architect and urban designer who graduated from ENSA-Marseille and TU Vienna. She is currently Director of Studies of the MAS in Urban Design at the ETH Zurich, where she now lives.
Zosia Dzierżawska is a Polish illustrator and comic author. Architecture and living/urban spaces have always been important in her work as in her short story “Waiting Rooms.” This is her first book to be published in the U.S. She lives in Zurich.
