Here's some big news we've been almost bursting to share for the past few months:
This December (the 8th to be exact), Literati Press will release The Rez Detectives, a ground-breaking, middle-grade graphic novel from Steven Paul Judd, Tvli Jacob, and M.K. Perker.
In the tradition of Harriet the Spy, Encyclopedia Brown, and yes, Scooby-Doo, comes the first case for the Rez Detectives: “Justice Served Cold.” It's a hot summer on the Reservation. When the Ice Cream Man is a no-show, Tasembo joins forces with his neighbor, Nuseka, and his dog, Billy Jack, to take on their first case. With twists around every corner, this case won't crack itself, but when you combine Nuseka's brains, Billy Jack's loyalty, and Tasembo's … persistence, justice will be served. Cold, that is.
It will be available direct from Literati Press (both retail and wholesale) and through Diamond Comic Distributors, GlobalComix, and Comixology.
Judd and IllumiNative, a native-led nonprofit that works to increase the visibility of Native peoples in American society, will supply free copies of Rez Detectives to all public and reservation libraries in Alaska and North and South Dakota.
If you're buying through your friendly local comic shop, be sure to let them know that the deadline to request The Rez Detectives for delivery on the release date is October 21, 2021 (PREVIEWS Item Code: OCT211566).
Judd has written on projects for Marvel, Disney, HBO, and George R.R. Martin’s production studio. He and his longtime collaborator Jacob have worked on short films and features including the award winning film Shouting Secrets. Judd is Kiowa and Choctaw, a visual artist and co-founder of the NTVS, a Native American streetwear company. Jacob is Choctaw, specializes in media content that addresses health in Native American Indian, Indigenous, and First Nations communities through community-based participatory methods, is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in Tulsa, and has a daughter, Nuseka. Eisner-nominee M.K. Perker shows the talent previously on display in work for Image, Vertigo, and The New Yorker. Cover Artist Cynthia Canada is a Kiowa-Comanche painter and illustrator from Oklahoma, and work has been featured in the Sovereign Santa Fe 2020 exhibition at La Fonda on the Plaza and Tribes 131 Gallery in Norman, OK.

Our wonderful neighbors and friends, @holeyrollers are launching an amazing brunch in the alleyway!!!
Big thanks to Robert Reid for swinging by the shop to discuss Oklahoma's booming wealth of comic book creators.
Bookclub: November Road by Oklahoma City writer Lou Berney. Date & Time: 22 Sept at 7:00 via Zoom. I’ll post the link today.
We’re discussing The Great Gatsby, Saturday, August 29 @ 2 PM via Zoom. I’ll post the Zoom info this weekend. Next month we’re reading Lou Berney’s, November Road, in October scary short stories by Shirley Jackson and Ray Bradbury, in November we honor our vets by reading Tim O’Brien’s masterpiece, The Things They Carried, and on New Year’s Eve, James Joyce’s, The Dead.
This album, though! Our vinyl collection is slowly growing and, wow, this record is fantastic.
If you've spoken with James, Charles, or Steve recently, you probably know that we've been talking about selling a small, carefully curated selection of records. Well, that day is officially here! This morning, Samantha Crain dropped off her newest, "a small death," and we couldn't be prouder to have this be the first record we sell. You can also pick up a copy of her book of sonnets while you're here!
Oklahoma author Lou Berney’s novel November Road has been shortlisted by the Crime Writers’ Association (CWA) for Golden Dagger Award for best crime novel of the year and the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for best thriller of the year. The CWA award is the most prestigious organization for the genre. We’re having a bookclub meeting September 19th at 2:00 to talk about the novel.
Paseo Bookclub at Literati Press reboot. We will discuss F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby on August 25th at 7:00 PM.
Hey, look at that—the mask mandate has boosted traffic and sales dramatically! Thank you @jbforokc @jamesforokc @mayordavidholt and everyone else who is going great work to keep the city safe!
John Lewis, a legend of the Civil Rights Movement, died last night. My heart aches. We need him.
Morning. Here’s a second interview with Ron Ferrell. We talked about his book and potential publication, garlic, ethical consumption of food, The BirdThief, cattle, pandemics, the Paseo Farmer’s Market, and we did it in 23 minutes. Enjoy.
