New in the Store: Reich #10 and Eye of the Majestic Creature #3 and 5!

Have you been reading Elijah Brubaker's thrilling biography of Wilhelm Reich, the controversial psychoanalyst, sex researcher, and protege of Freud? Have you been anxiously awaiting the next installment of Brubaker's stark and brilliant take on this strange and tragic life story?

Your wait is over at last!


We have in our store today the brand new Reich #10, ready to impress and enthrall you. Brubaker's art remains sophisticated and evocative, while the story reveals a man standing on crumbling ground. Reich's paranoia is beginning to harm his personal and professional relationships, leading to the resignation of two of his closest associates. He carries on, creating a machine that draws deadly Orgone radiation out of the atmosphere -- but will his intentions change when he realizes the machine can be weaponized? By the end of the issue, Reich's former lawyer has filed an injunction against him, and someone close to him is dead. Reich's future is becoming less and less certain.


We also have issues #3 and 5 of Leslie Anne Mackenzie Stein's Eye of the Majestic Creature.



In issue #3, Larry goes back to Chicago to visit her family. She spends time with her mom, catches up with old friends, and endures a painfully awkward dinner with her dad. All the while, Marshmallow is entertaining himself at home. Their reunion is funny and touching -- in classic EOTMC style.

Issue #5 is an extra-long installment that juxtaposes Theodore Dreiser's classic1900 novel, Sister Carrie, with Larry's personal story. This creates a moving and surprisingly relevant narrative that adds a new and deeper perspective to Stein's comic.
psychoanalyst and sex researcher Dr. Wilhelm Reich, a protégé of Freud. He courted scandal throughout Europe where he became known mostly for his controversial and radical ideas. Reich claimed to discover a palpable sexual energy, which he called “Orgone.” Reich was forced to move to America in 1939. In America, Reich founded Orgonon, a commune/laboratory located in Rangely, Maine. There he continued his research into Orgone energy. Reich claimed the energy was a panacea and was determined to prove it to the world.
Reich was abruptly persecuted by the United States government.
Reich tells the story of a man who lived with unwavering conviction in his beliefs and shows the potential danger of that conviction.
In issue #10, Reich's paranoia begins to seriously damage both his personal and professional relationships, leading to the resignation of two of his closest associates. Reich carries on, creating a machine that draws Orgone radiation out of the atmosphere -- and then finding a way to use it as a weapon. By the end of the issue, Reich's former lawyer has filed an injunction against him, and someone close to Reich is dead. Things are beginning to crumble. Reich's future grows less and less certain.
