Pay $300, Get Everything PictureBox Publishes This Year
Rather than mess around with selling books individually, independent comics and art-magazine publisher PictureBox is offering an interesting deal for its 2013 offerings: Pay them $300 and get everything they publish. (Link is NSFW.)
Among those offerings? Walrus, a collection of drawings and sketchbook comics from Brandon Graham; an edition of Osamu Tezuka's 1947 graphic novel The Mysterious Underground Men; Seiichi Hayashi's Gold Pollen and Other Stories, a collection of comics from the 1960s; Yuichi Yokoyama's graphic novel World Map Room; a sketchbook collection from Ben Jones; and a considerable amount of nudity. See the full list of what PictureBox is including in its huge package deal so far -- more titles are to come, the publisher promises -- after the jump.

If you can't tell from the titles, publisher Dan Nadel describes this year's PictureBox output thusly:
"When I think of this year of publishing I think of the following words: sex; contemplation; beauty; bite; weed, hilarity; terror; intimidation; inspiration; canon; history; cartography; stupefied; bonafide."
