Muerte!
Death in Mexican Popular Culture
Edited by Harvey Bennett Stafford Contributions from Diego Rivera, José Posada, Cuauhtémoc Medina and Lorna Scott Fox
How a culture approaches and depicts death says a lot about the way it faces life. In America, death is a fixture of pop culture, shown in fantasies that are violent but curiously detached from reality and moral lessons. In Mexico, death occupies a much different cultural space. Muerte! explores the lurid history of Mexico’s fascination [...]

Scorched Art
The Incendiary Aesthetic of FlameRite Zippos
Edited by Tom Hazelmyer
For almost a decade, the radical art group Flame Rite has been producing Zippo lighters featuring the work of prominent comic artists.

Edited by James DiEugenio and Lisa Pease Introduction by Judge Joe Brown
“Probing deep into four hidden histories… the material released should dispel any notions of ‘lone nuts’ or coincidence… These articles cut a clear path through the thick jungle of disinformation that has grown around these events and expose the truly hideous teratomas that thrive and bloom under the canopy of ‘national security.’”—New York Press

The Life and Art of Edward D. Wood, Jr.
Rudolph Grey
Rereleased to coincide with Ed Wood, a Tim Burton movie based on the book, this authoritative underground biography brings to life the renegade filmmaker. “Finally the Ed Wood story told in all its naked wonder.

I stayed up all night reading it with my mouth hanging open.” — John Waters. “Stranger, weirder, more tragic than the Ed Wood movie.” — Edward Everett Horton
