Few publishers out there are like Top Shelf Productions and this week iFanboy digs in to some of their favorites from this excellent indie publisher. Like Top Shelf, iFanboy are all over the map with cute animal books, a Transformers parody, a futuristic action thriller, and the return of Elvis!
Top Shelf Productions put out so many quality books that it's hard to just pick a few to talk to about, but Ron, Josh and Conor do their best to talk about some of the books they especially loved.
If you're an Elvis Presley fan, you will want to check out, The King. Is that really him? Is he back? Well, that's what the story's about in this original graphic novel from Rich Koslowski. Koslowski went in a completely different direction in his faux documentary book, Three Fingers.
Jeff Lemire created a simple touching book about a boy and his uncle called Tales from the Farm which managed to tug at some heartstrings.
Usually known for his stark sketchy autobiographical comics, Jeffrey Brown decided to produce both a love letter and parody of the Transformers, in The Incredible Change-Bots.
A turtle and a rat made Ron cry. This is the power of Goodbye Chunky Rice, by Craig Thompson, who is most well known for the graphic novel, Blankets.
Last up is the straight up science fiction action tale, The Surrogates takes us to a world where people use robots to live their lives.
