I have been an avid, long term reader and collector of small press comics/illustration art, books, and other niche publications that are outside of the mainstream or more difficult to acquire. This is not a comprehensive view, but a frequently updated selection that have been very influential or important to me, and more than a few of which can be considered uncommon or rare. I am adding to it throughout the year as time allows and my collection slowly grows.
Last updated December 1, 2024
Thierry van Hasselt & Marcel Schmitz - Living in Vivre A Frandisco (spectacular!!!)
Frederik Peeters - Saccage
Incredible book by the formidable publisher Atrabile
Frederik Peeters - Pachyderme
Jesse Monyihan - Forming I
Jesse Monyihan - Forming II
O. Schrauwen - Sunday 1-7. Original 4 volumes published by Colorama. Volume 3 and 4 are combined, as are 5,6 and 7. Volume 1 and 2 are second ediiton reprints. The series was mentioned in the New Yorker online in 2024 after the full collection was published as one volume through Fantagraphics. Certainly one of the highlights of my, or any collection.
