Sequart’s Books Get New, Cheaper Editions

Sequart Research & Literacy Organization’s entire line of eight books of comics scholarship is now available in revised editions featuring significantly lower cover prices.

Each of these new editions also feature revised covers and cleaner, more readable interiors.

If you haven’t explored Sequart’s overall line, or if you’d like to give your favorite book as a Christmas gift, there’s never been a better time.

Also deserving special note is the new Grant Morrison: The Early Years, by Timothy Callahan (with a Grant Morrison interview). This new, third edition includes a new foreword by Jason Aaron and an expanded appendix addressing Grant Morrison’s early, pre-Zenith work, including Abraxas, text stories done for DC’s U.K. annuals, 2000AD, and Doctor Who. The book retails for $15.99 ($7 cheaper than past editions). (Buy from Amazon or CreateSpace.)

We know times are tough. We also know we’ve been incredibly lucky to have a loyal readership who understand the need for accessible analysis of comic books. That’s why we’ve insisted upon quality and kept in mind that every book could be someone’s introduction to thinking more seriously about comics. It’s also why we now consider it a priority to make these books more financially accessible to everyone.

Thank you, and Happy Holidays!
