Mike Diana: RIP by Mike Diana (Divus Adventure) $44.00 – A new book of horror, fun, unexpected adventure and disaster from Mike Diana?an internationally known underground cartoonist, and the only artist in America to have received a criminal conviction for artistic obscenity. His run-ins with the law have seemed to have the opposite of the intended effect; since first arriving on the scene in the 1990s with his (in)famous Boiled Angel magazine, Diana has only refined and expanded his vision of a culture engorged and overloaded on greed and violence.

Infernal Grotesque: Classical Paintings Of Hell, Demons, Witchcraft & Death by Gianfranco Sodoma (Deicide Press) $34.95 – From the Illuminated Masters series that collects images from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, steeped in beautiful horror, swirling with bizarre and hallucinatory nightmare.
