This new collection of recent works explores the conscious and sub-conscious relationships we have with the beasts that inhabit our heads. Through post-human androids and post-apocalyptic gasmask girls, the binding note comes from the chorus of creatures inside us. They, who whisper in our ear with terrifying comfort, and tell us to trust the beasts, and chase the white rabbit. On December 15th we raise our glasses To All The Creatures Within Us.

Wed Dec. 12th 6p: “SUMO” Book Release & Signing w/ artist Thien Pham!!
Join Mission: Comics & local artist Thien Pham in celebrating the release of his new graphic novel SUMO published by First Second Books! Trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuHG-b574Yk
Scott is a washed-up football player who never made it, and whose girlfriend abandoned him along with his dreams of playing pro football. But things have a way of working out, in this sweet, poetic tale—and a new chapter in Scott’s life begins as the old one ends. Offered a position in a Japanese sumo training “stable,” Scott abandons his old life, his old name, and even his old hair color, and becomes an aspiring sumo wrestler. And in so doing, he begins to find some kind of center in himself…a center that had seemed lost for good.
Thien Pham, the acclaimed illustrator of Gene Luen Yang’s Level Up, returns as the writer and artist of a unique new graphic novel.Highly poetic and structured to echo the slow build and sudden clash of a sumo match, Pham’s Sumo is an unusual and beautiful book. It’s nearly a contradiction in terms: a delicate, deft, tender tale about…sumo wrestling.
