Witchcraft, available from @fantagraphics.bsky.social, is a gothic masterpiece that jumps between the present day and various periods in the history of Buenos Aires. It's a massive book but an incredible page-turner, and its story is haunted by magic and power. 🔥 www.comicsbeat.com/graphic-nove...

A scene from Sole Otero's graphic novel Witchcraft. A woman watches from the tall grass as a man is led inside a grand manor in the dead of night.

My @fantagraphics.bsky.social super sale allowed me to get these supersized early 20th century masterpieces:

A full page spread of Lionel Feininger's The Kin-Der-Kids comic, where the super detailed drawing shows a fantasy NY Harbor as the Kids sail their giant green bathtub out of the harbor, with the Statue of Liberty and other characters wishing them well. My hand shows the immense size of these pages: 16 x 21 inches.

Giant sized early 20th century Full page comic supplement collections "Society is Nix" and "Forgotten Fantasy"
