I'm taking orders NOW for <a href="http://www.seemybrotherdance.org/shop/" target="_blank"><b>signed mailorder copies directly from me</b></a>-- and for the rest of the summer, ALL book orders will include a <b>free digital download</b> of the fantastic <a href="http://erintobey.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"><b>Erin Tobey</b></a>'s landmark <b><i>Middlemaze</i></b> album-- hands-down, the best album of 2016!<br />
<br />
Erin is an immensely talented and inspiring creative force, one of the best friends and finest people I've ever known-- she's also been involved with the design and production end of some of my comics work, and is a great cartoonist herself (and for comics trivia, is the person after whom Ruth from <a href="http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/swallow-me-whole/567" target="_blank"><i>Swallow Me Whole</i></a> is physically modeled). I'm so proud to team up with her on both of our new endeavors, and hope to spread her album far and wide. (If you're interested, she's also made tons of music in the bands <b><a href="https://brendasfriend.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Brenda's Friend</a>, <a href="https://fullsunband.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Full Sun</a>, <a href="https://flannelgraphrecords.bandcamp.com/album/open-window" target="_blank">Vollmar</a>, <a href="https://fatshadow.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Fat Shadow</a>, <a href="https://tammar.bandcamp.com/album/visits" target="_blank">Tammar</a>, <a href="https://pinkrazors.bandcamp.com/album/leave-alive-2" target="_blank">Pink Razors</a>, <a href="https://harlanrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mt-gigantic-gleanings-and-gatherings-lp-cd" target="_blank">Mt.

The Ignatz Awards are very special to me-- not only were they the first to put my work on the radar in many respects back in 2008, but their voting structure is perhaps the only in comincs to utilize a direct democratic method, and it's always interesting and exciting to see what's happening on the SPX show floor, in real time, as reflected in the awards. Thanks so much again-- it's an honor to be nominated for the coveted brick!<br />

<b>Original signed pages</b> from nearly all of my books are now<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/seemybrotherdance" target="_blank"> <b>for sale through late July at my Etsy site</b></a>-- your support will help me pay off a mountain of hospital bills from the birth of my second daughter, and swim out of debt with the IRS.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/seemybrotherdance" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>CHECK OUT THE SALE HERE. </b></span></a><br />
<br />
The sale features work priced from $150 to $1000, and includes pages from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/seemybrotherdance" target="_blank"><i><b>March: Book One, The Lost Hero, You Don't Say, Any Empire, Swallow Me Whole, The Silence Of Our Friends, The Year Of The Beasts, In The Dark, Sweet Tooth, Please Release, Sounds Of Your Name, Tiny Giants</b></i>, and <i><b>Walkie Talkie</b></i>.</a> It includes collaborations with writers <b>Scott Snyder, Jeff Lemire, Rick Riordan, Robert Venditti, Cecil Castellucci, Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, Mark Long</b>, and <b>Jim Demonakos</b>. There are also a few unpublished gems in there, like a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/237767124/unpublished-fantastic-four-pinup-signed" target="_blank">1999 <i><b>Fantastic Four</b></i> pinup</a>, a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/237661019/unpublished-demo-page-original-signed" target="_blank">tryout page for <i><b>The Lost Hero</b></i></a>, and an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/237730493/march-book-one-john-lewis-p-49-original" target="_blank">alternate version of a <i><b>March: Book One</b></i> page</a>! <br />
<br />
Being a self-employed comic book artist isn't easy or full of job security, especially when trying to support a family with one's efforts-- cartoonists usually don't have a typical means of saving for any retirement or getting employer-based health insurance, and we get absolutely slammed by income taxes as sole proprietors. Career cartoonists are virtually guaranteed to die at their drawing tables, working through old age to make ends meet. I welcome and am prepared for that challenge, and this sale will help bridge a little bump in the road.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for your support and understanding, and for spreading the word-- now back to work! <br />

Venditti), <i><b>SWEET TOOTH</b></i> (w/ Jeff Lemire), and the only two pages from
<i><b>MARCH</b></i> that will <b>ever</b> be available for sale in the forseeable future.<br />

"Nate Powell<strong> </strong>is one of those comics creators who doesn’t
get the credit he deserves. Now, before you start sputtering to
yourself about his countless awards and his recent television
appearances to promote the <i>March</i> series he draws with Rep. John Lewis, let me clarify. Powell is one of those people whom I almost never hear anyone <em>discussing</em>.
His work is liked and respected, he is awarded and rewarded left and
right, but no one seems to talk about how powerfully evocative his line
is, how intensely personal and emotional his writing is, and how easy he
switches between any color on the emotional spectrum in the course of
just a single page. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you need
to pick up this collection of the last nine years of Powell’s shorter
work. And if you do know what I’m talking about well, you were already
going to buy it."<br />

Thanks to <b>Rachel Maddow</b> and her fantastic team for having us on her show a few days ago to discuss <i><b>March: Book Two</b></i>! <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/the-launch-of-march--book-two-424612419760" target="_blank"><b>Here's our segment</b></a>, though I highly recommend <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/a-history-of-civil-disobedience-424612419889" target="_blank"><b>first watching her previous segment</b> about Gandhi's methods and tactics influencing a young John Lewis</a>, perfectly setting the stage and context.<br />

Afterwards, one of the producers snuck us in for a quick tour of the <i><b>Saturday Night Live</b></i> set! I managed to sneak on the band stage for a moment, absorbing the weight of both friends and musical heroes who've shared that platform. Absolutely mind-shredding!<br />

We also did a discussion & signing at the Federal Reserve (!)-- here's a photo of Andrew Aydin ruling the school, tying ever-increasing student loan debt to further disenfranchisement of adults from activism, risk, homeownership, entrepreneurship, and generally moving forward as a people, citing the Fed's own report:<br />

We also spoke to a few hundred talented students in Brooklyn-- and in a trip highlight, our opener was this band of elementary school students, slaying to a cover of The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army":<br />

That evening, we did another great discussion and signing at the Brooklyn Central Library, where I had the good fortune of running into old friends Aaron Cometbus and Joshua Peach. Thanks, everyone, for coming out to listen and discuss-- I really wish I could've stayed longer! <br />

In case you missed it, Congressman and civil rights legend <b>John Lewis</b>, co-author of the <a href="http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/march-book-one/760" target="_blank"><i><b>March</b></i></a> saga (written with <b>Andrew Aydin</b>, and drawn by me) <a href="http://thedailyshow.cc.com/full-episodes/862nbi/march-9--2015---john-lewis" target="_blank">had an amazing appearance on <i><b>The Daily Show with Jon Stewart</b></i> on March 9th. </a>The entire episode was dedicated to Congressman Lewis and the 50th anniversary of the Selma marches, which served as an impetus for the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act (recently gutted by the Supreme Court). <br />

My new book <a href="http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog/you-dont-say/914" target="_blank"><i><b>You Don't Say</b></i></a>, collecting my shorter work from 2004-2013, is in the Diamond catalog <b>(page 159)</b> to hit shelves this May! It features a ton of out-of-print, unpublished, and never-before-available-in-English comics (including collaborations with Rachel Bormann-Powell, Al Burian, and kinda Pretty Girls Make Graves), and is the first official release under the new <b>Top Shelf/ IDW</b> partnership.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.topshelfcomix.com/news/1003" target="_blank">Here's Top Shelf's press release about it, which also features an <b>8-page preview.</b></a><br />
<br />
I'll be opening up <b>direct pre-orders from my site</b> in the next month-- more info soon!<br />
