He claims he's not a fan of rock-and-roll, but somehow Harlan Ellison's seminal novel based on the career of Jerry Lee Lewis ended up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of the first--and still one of the best--dissections of the wildly destructive rock-and-roll lifestyle, Spider Kiss isn't about giant cockroaches that attack Detroit or space invaders that smell like chicken soup. Instead, it's the story of Luther Sellers, a poor kid from Louisville with a voice like an angel who's renamed Stag Preston by a ruthless promoter. Preston's meteoric rise on the music scene is matched only by the rise in his enormous appetites--and not just for home cooking--and soon the invisible monkey named Success is riding him straight to hell. This raucous early novel reinforces Ellison's reputation as one of America's most dynamic writers. Originally published in 1961 as Rockabilly , this is the novel's first appearance as a single volume in more than twenty years.

We Told You So: Comics As Art tells of Fantagraphics Books' key role in helping build an art movement in the 1970s around a discredited, ignored and fading art form: comics. Assembling an all-star cast including Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Harlan Ellison, Jim Shooter, Stan Lee, Daniel Clowes, Frank Miller, Peter Bagge, Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez, Dave Sim, Steve Geppi, Todd McFarlane and every other major figure in modern comics, Comics As Art... makes the warts and all case for Fantagraphics Books' position near the heart of the modern reclamation of the comics art form.
