What's Wrong? TPB Little Sister's Book & Art Emporium in Vancouver has long fought for freedom of expression, to the point of taking Canada Customs to court, charging that, by regularly seizing materials destined for the store (branding them "obscene"), the federal agency was guilty of harassment and infringement of free speech. In December of 2000, the Supreme Court of Canada handed down a landmark decision in the case, stating that the onus of proving that expressive material is obscene lies with Canada Customs. Little Sister's battle against censorship continues. In 2002 they filed an appeal against Canada Customs for prohibiting the importation of two adult comic books. The owners and staff of Little Sister's and Arsenal Pulp Press believe that the comic books at issue--all comic art, in fact--have unquestionable artistic merit, and therefore do not fit the definition of obscenity. What's Wrong? is one of two collections of comic art (the other being What Right?) that confront censorship without fear, with......

Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis The Menace HC Vol. 3 (1955-1956) Dennis the Menace was one of the most brilliantly observed and empathetic comic strips about childhood, as Ketchum captured the mischievousness, rambunctiousness, and anarchy of a kid's world better than any other cartoonist. While parents shake their head ruefully at how accurately Ketcham caught children's zest for mayhem, children identify with Dennis and the chaos that he leaves in his wake. This third volume of Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace publishes every single panel strip from 1955 and 1956 in one handsome and thick hardcover volume. Ketcham's legendary pen and ink work achieves its full flowering in this volume as do the various situations and themes that Ketcham would return to: the first 'split screen' (two-panel strip) that Ketcham would occasionally use; Dennis actually flirts with a girl; he rats Dad out to Mom; exacerbates confrontations between Dad and the police; and stymies hapless baby-sitters. Oh, and Mr. Wilson finally comes front-and-center as Dennis' #1 victim.
