Bundled Extra: Koyama Announces Its Fall 2013 Titles





Publisher Anne Koyama and Publishing Assistant Ed Kanerva of Koyama Press announced that house's Fall 2013 titles today. The season for the established, well-regarded, small press publisher will include books by Cole Closser, Jon Vermilyea and Ryan Cecil Smith. Those three books -- pictured above -- join the previously-announced Alex Schubert work Blobby Boys, an image for which ends this post. Ryan Cecil Smith's self-published works have provided no small amount of fascination for me in recent months, and I

So that makes their full season the following:

* Little Tommy Lost: Book One, Cole Closser, 9781927668016, softcover, 72 pages in color, September, $15.
* Blobby Boys, Alex Schubert, 9781927668023, softcover, 52 pages in color, September, $10.
* Fata Morgana, Jon Vermilyea, 9781927668030, softcover, 48 pages in full color, November, $15.
* S.F. #3, Ryan Cecil Smith, 9781927668009, softcover, 60 pages in black and white, November, $10.

I think that's an interesting group. Closser is a CCS graduate, and it's intriguing to me to see those cartoonists place early major works. Vermilyea is all over the place right now in terms of illustration and animation, but has kept a hand in with comics, and so getting a full book from him is a noteworthy thing. I don't know much about Schubert although the first thing that pops into my mind is that he's been a reliable web presence -- I honestly don't even know if I have the analytical skills and knowledge of that world to figure out if it's true.

I think this also gives Koyama books to tie into SPX (the Closser and the Schubert) and a pair of books to tie into whatever show action there is later in the year (BCGF has yet to announce, and there's room for a couple of shows in that part of the calendar, so I don't want to make any assumptions). I also like the fact that these are tweener-sized works and around the same price. That would seem a pretty nice convention purchase, really, and something that stores should be able to get behind in terms of carrying these works.
