The post Akari and Godhead Preorder Bundle appeared first on Glacier Bay Books.

A quietly beautiful standalone story about mistaken identity, found family, and the profound power of art. Marco Kohinata’s warm, softly textured lines and shading subtly evoke the color and shape, the fullness and complexity of human emotion.

We’re proud to announce Marco’s debut English release, originally published in Japan by HERO’S and already translated in several languages abroad, has found a home with Glacier Bay Books and will be available in print format shortly. In fact, I’m happy to share that this book is already printing now!

An elegantly mysterious large format release straddling the wavering boundaries between zine, art book, and comics, Godhead collects disparate artifacts of each: an excerpt from Courtney’s new graphic novel in development Tom Lyne, two standalone sections from their forthcoming graphic novel We Don’t Go Through the Angelgrass (Glacier Bay Books, 2026), and an extensive illustration and process work section, all printed at full size and including many breathtaking, never-before-seen art pieces. Full-color printing throughout marry Godhead’s stunning artwork with Glacier Bay’s gorgeous design to effortlessly bring this slim, ghostlike volume to life.

For the first time ever, the master of horror Noroi Michiru will be available in English. The collection the two volumes will comprise of his one-shots and each page will be rendered in exquisite detail to showcase his splendid artwork – each panel worthy of being framed. Noroi Michiru’s aesthetic is impressive in that it conforms to Western expectations, both amongst illustrated covers and also pages of narrative – focused, realistic anatomy opposed to more exaggerated, fanciful forms. His concepts, artwork and narratives are admirable as the efforts of Junji Ito, but his circulation, and consequently his fanbases, has mainly been exclusive to Japan.
