2009 saw the end of three serials for MOME--legendary cartoonist Gilbert Shel¬ton'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.

T. 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.

Ted 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, Fuzz & Pluck and Fuzz & Pluck: Splitsville. Stearn now graces MOME with a new, serialized adventure in which the hapless Fuzz & Pluck discover a literal money tree. The ensuing entanglement of intrigue and desire is a surrealist, picaresque tour de force of comics storytelling with strong thematical ties to America's housing and financial meltdown, and the dreams that led to it. There's also a pirate, and we all know that pirates sell.
