Another new title announcement!

Get ready for CEREAL SAVAGES, a long-form, hardcover graphic novel by Garbage Pail Kids lead artist Joe Simko and DC/Marvel writer Hans Rodionoff, out June 30! With a foreword by Adam F. Goldberg (The Goldbergs).

Seven years in the making!

Follow the adventures of four 1980s cereal mascots trying to navigate the modern world in this ridiculous and crunchy tale of chaos.

This limited edition hardcover features blue foil-gilded page edges, a pink ribbon marker, and a healthy dose of throwback style reminiscent of Saturday-morning cartoons.

Breakfast will never be the same. 🥣

We’re excited to announce our next book, Ferris Bueller…You’re My Hero: The Story of the World’s Most Famous Day Off by @jasonklamm!

The book is the definitive behind-the-scenes look at one of the most enduring comedies of all time: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which celebrates its 40th this June.

Built from 125 new, exclusive interviews, this all-access account features candid stories from Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Cindy Pickett, James Hughes (John’s son), producers, soundtrack musicians, parade attendees, museum staff, high-school actors—even the legendary school-bus Gummy Bear Girl (“They’ve been in my pocket. They’re real warm and soft”). Additional Hughes alumni, including Jon Cryer and Andrew McCarthy, weigh in on the lasting impact of the film and its creator.

Featuring never-before-seen photos, rare production documents, and unforgettable on-set stories, this book reveals how Ferris Bueller’s Day Off broke the rules, bent reality, and turned skipping school into a masterclass in rebellion for a generation.
