Everything Together by Sammy Harkham 20 April 2012
After a decade of work and groundbreaking anthologies, Everything Together collects Sammy Harkham's short-story comics, which condense vast amounts of emotion and information into nuanced cartoon narratives. Harkham’s classic style is both articulate and expedient. At the center of the book are two vastly different tales: Poor Sailor, a sea-faring myth of a man gone to find wealth for his love; and Somersaulting, a kind of fever dream of teenagers in love, whiling away the summer. Alongside these stories are shorter comic strips tackling everything from Napoleon as a tortured artist to touching examinations of Jewish mysticism and life in a shtetl, to satires on contemporary university life. Throughout these tales, Harkham maintains a light touch and emotive wit. The works in this book confirm his place among the best storytellers of his generation.

Here, we present for your perusal excerpts from the stories in Everything Together.

Injury no.4
by Ted May
      Nominated for a 2013 Eisner award for Best Short Story, A Birdsong Shatters the Still, is by Jeff Wilson with art by Ted May.  It starts off early one spring morning as a gang of teens congregate outside high school getting high and talking about Maiden just before going to morning detention. Chances are slim to none that these grass addled pimple faced young adults can make it through said detention without garnering even further punishment.

"Blades of Grass," is by Ted May with art by Mike Reddy featuring the character Beast Biplane from Injury Comics #3. Beast's best bud Brat Fink wakes up hungover and must contend with arch nemesis, Greg whilst cleaning up revellers' wreckage from the night before. Meanwhile Beast must go mano a mano with a new, sick villain: Steve in Valor! This is just the start of an amazing new story. Get in on the ground floor, etc!
