The Collections Picks
Are You My Mother TP
Harper Collins $12.99
(W/A/CA) Alison Bechdel
From the Solicits:
Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home was a pop-culture and literary phenomenon. Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader and passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood. Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf. Are You My Mother? is a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of the iconic psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdel’s own adult love life. And, finally, back to Mother—to a fragile truce that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers.

Each chapter takes readers deeper into a world of dark fantasy lore and plot-twisting revelations. Collects RED ROOTS #1-5.
Select praise for RED ROOTS:
"Red Roots is the shining example of what comics can be at their best. A wholly original concept with characters you are instantly invested in as they traverse a story with twists and turns you could never predict. This is the comic series you’ve been waiting your whole life for." —Robert Kirkman, Invincible, The Walking Dead
“Like nothing I’ve ever read before.” —Nerd Initiative
“Lorenzo De Felici leans into uncertainty, trusting readers to sit with the tension as two seemingly unrelated stories unfold side by side. The result is hypnotic, shifting between brutal action and unsettling quiet with ease. While it withholds answers, it replaces them with intrigue and unforgettable imagery, making it hard to put down and even harder to stop thinking about once it ends… Bold, exciting, and visually striking.” —AIPT
