With this season, the quarterly journal of comics will have brought over 2,000 pages of new comics to the world since its inception in 2005.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nUpcoming contributors of short stories to \u003ci\u003eMOME\u003c\/i\u003e include: Lilli Carré, Laura Park, Olivier Schrauwen, Tom Kaczynski, Dash Shaw, Ray Fenwick, Émile Bravo, Andrice Arp, Al Columbia, Eleanor Davis, Nathan Neal, Conor O’Keefe, Jon Vermilyea, Jonathan Bennett, Robert Goodin, Sara Edward-Corbett, Derek Van Gieson, and many more.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n2009 saw the end of three serials for \u003ci\u003eMOME\u003c\/i\u003e—legendary cartoonist Gilbert Shelton’s serialized graphic novel, “Last Gig in Shngrlig,” Paul Hornschemeier’s “Life with Mr. Dangerous,” and Tim Hensley’s “Wally Gropius”— and the launch of two more.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nT. Edward Bak’s biography of German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller—who traveled with Vitus Bering on what is generally known as the Second Kamchatka Expedition in 1741—is certain to eventually become one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the decade. In the hands of Bak, Steller’s narrative story transcends natural history, science and biography and becomes a riveting, beautifully illustrated drama.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTed Stearn’s cult favorite characters have struck a chord with comic lovers over the years (Matt Groening declares them “why I love comics”) in two previous graphic novels, \u003ci\u003eFuzz \u0026amp; Pluck\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFuzz \u0026amp; Pluck: Splitsville\u003c\/i\u003e.
