In-Store Date: 12/3/2025
When Harvey Kurtzman and Bill Gaines launched EC’s Mad comic book as a warmly received satirical magazine, a flood of imitators soon filled newsstands, but the first and best to follow in Mad’s footsteps (coinciding with the second issue of Mad magazine) was Snafu, edited and written by Kurtzman’s former boss: Stan “The Man” Lee! Snafu was packed with Marvel/Atlas’ top humor creators and, following the Mad playbook, filled pages with ad and news spoofs, alongside film, television, and book parodies like “The Blackboard Forest” by Russ Heath, “Pete Kelsey’s Booze” and “Bleed, You Bum!” by Joe Maneely, “Drugnet” by Howie Post, “Emily Toast’s Etiquette Page” by John Severin, and “Snafu’s Lovely Ladies” by Bill Everett, with production supervised by Marie Severin. Seen here is some of the most eye-popping work of Maneely’s short life, including great Hollywood caricatures done in a wash style. In this new volume in our Atlas Library collaboration with Marvel, Fantagraphics is tickled pink to present for the first time, the complete Snafu collection along with a history of Martin Goodman’s humor publications in all genres by editor Dr. Michael J. Vassallo.

COMPLETE HATE TP VOL 02 (MR)
Creators: (W/A/CA) Peter Bagge
Price: $29.99 | ISBN: 9798875001314 | Product Code: 1025FB0731
In-Store Date: 12/3/2025
Peter Bagge is not only one of the primary architects of the alternative comics scene that exploded in the 1980s and 1990s (alongside peers including Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, and Daniel Clowes), but also someone who helped fashion the aesthetics and attitudes of an entire youth movement. His comic book series, Hate, chronicled the exploits of twentysomething Buddy Bradley and his gang of lovable losers through the rise and fall of the grunge era (and eventually beyond). Bagge’s style became a part of the Gen X zeitgeist and Hate became the best-selling alternative comic of its era, with Bagge’s illustrations gracing countless album and magazine covers as well. The Complete Hate Volume 2 collects Hate issues 16 thru 30 (1994–1998), which comprise the second major arc of the series — the full-color “Jersey suburbs” era! With his rock-impresario career in tatters, his friends dispersed, and his career opportunities at zero, Buddy returns with his tail between his legs (and his neurotic girlfriend Lisa by his side) to his native New Jersey to be closer to family. Also included in this volume is the shocking final fate of the exuberant Stinky, a story that caused jaws to drop in unison all around the world when it was originally released, and the riotous tale of Lisa’s brief conversion to lesbianism and subsequent breakup with Buddy. Part screwball comedy, part soap opera, part loose autobiography, Hate is an enduring chronicle of the 1990s as well as riotously relatable to anyone bumbling through their twenties.
MAGNIFICENT ADVENTURE TP (MR)
Creators: (W/A/CA) Milo Manara
Price: $24.99 | ISBN: 9798875000638 | Product Code: 1025FB0736
In-Store Date: 12/3/2025
Young Giuseppe Bergman, thirsting for escape from the banal, soul-crushing boredom of his everyday life, answers a mysterious ad offering the adventure of a lifetime. But before he even gets a chance to understand what that means, he’s swept up in a headlong rush of outrageously convoluted danger and fast-paced action — for which he is absolutely unprepared — all at the behest of the enigmatic “H.P.” and an unseen television audience. Artist/writer/creator Milo Manara skewers adventure comics, “reality” TV, and narrative convention itself in this absurdist, sophisticated satire that launches the innocent Giuseppe into the first of many adventures to come. The Magnificent Adventure, complete in one volume.
