WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
Based on popular request, we've created the McSweeney's Book Release Club. It's similar to a book-of-the-month club—we'll send BRC subscribers the next ten books we put out, roughly one a month. We will do this for just $100 (plus shipping).

Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary
by Justin Green; Introduction by Art Spiegelman
A lost classic of underground cartooning, Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary is Justin Green's autobiographical portrayal of his struggle with religion and his own neuroses. Binky Brown is a young Catholic struggling with all the usual problems of adolescence-puberty, agnosticism, and the fear that the strange ray of energy emanating from his private parts will strike a picture of the Holy Virgin Mary. Deeply confessional, with artwork that veers wildly between formalist and hallucinogenic, Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary is the controversial masterpiece which invented the Autobiographical Graphic Novel.
COMING UP:

The Better of McSweeney's, Volume 2 features science-fiction, immigration drama, and naval disasters. There are tragically dysfunctional families and enjoyably dysfunctional families.
