Titan #1 Available Now!

Wednesday, April 17, 2013



Family Style is delighted to present the first full-length comic from François Vigneault in over five years, Titan #1! Wowza!



Titan is the story of MNGR João da Silva, a music-loving productivity expert sent from Earth to the moon of Titan, where he finds himself embroiled in the dangerous tensions between the geneticaly-engineered Titan workers and their Terran management, a situation that threatens to boil over at a moment's notice. Is the union representative Phoebe Mackintosh a friend, a foe, or something else entirely? With mysteries and danger lurking at every turn, João must rely on his intellect and his powerful "i" device to protect himself and maybe even turn a profit. The start of a six-issue sci-fi epic that combines action and adventure with a deep look at the best and the worst aspects of human nature.



Titan #1 collects Part 01: Far, Far Away and Part 02: 99 Problems, both of which can be seen on the Study Group Comics website. The print edition features lush, two-color printing on newsprint interiors, and a fully-painted color cover. The entire book has been re-edited, re-designed, and re-lettered for this new edition.



You can order Titan #1 right now; all orders will be signed by the artist and will receive some fun bonus goodies!

Titan Part 03: Hard Headed Woman will be starting up on the Study Group Comics site soon, and a new issue of Titan should be out before the end of the year.

Titan #1 Pre-Order: $4.95

Jonas' comics for Papercutter #14, “The Most Gripping Mind-Exploding Triumphantly Electric of our Time,” published by Tugboat Press, was selected by the editors of Best American Comics as a Notable Title of the previous year! We totally agree! If you haven't bought this comic yet, you could do worse for yourself than to swing on over to Buy Olympia for a copy!


Jonas Madden-Connor at the Cartoon Art Museum

Sunday, October 14, 2012



Resident Family Style auteur Jonas Madden-Connor is being honored with the Small Press Spotlight at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco! Pages from his stories in Ochre Ellipse, Papercutter, and Digestate will all be shown. Jonas had the pleasure of being feted during the APE festival alongside the opening of the Los Bros. Hernandez 30-year retrospective, a wonderful coincidence considering the lasting influence of Love and Rockets on Jonas' own comics career. All in all, this is a wonderful chance to visit the Museum and check out the work of Jonas, Los Bros, and many more fantastic creators!
