New Releases by Jim Borgman

Zits is "one of the freshest and most imaginative strips." Los Angeles Times Twice honored as the Best Newspaper Comic Strip, Zits appears in more than 1,600 newspapers and is read daily by more than 45 million fans. In Pierced, Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman have hand-picked strips spotlighting Pierce, who is often the most popular (and certainly the most perforated) character in their strip. One of Jeremy''s best friends and the drummer in the band, Pierce''s audacious body art gives all of the outward signs of a fierce nonconformist kid living on the edge. But beneath the metal and tattoo ink lies the soul of the caring, loyal friend and animal lover within. Or as Jeremy describes him, "Face of silver, heart of gold."

A collection of "Zits" comics featuring the adventures of fifteen-year-old Jeremy and his family and friends.

Zits har vunnet "The National Cartoonists Society''s Best Comic Strip of the Year" i hjemlandet USA to ganger siden den først gang kom ut i 1997. Fortellingene om den 15 år gamle aspirerende rockemusikeren Jeremy Duncan, college-studentbroren hans Chad, og foreldrene Connie og Walt som strever med å finne ut av den merkelige kunsten å oppdra tenåringer, er blitt en av Amerikas mest populære tegneserier.

In Zits, Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman sublimely manipulate the two seemingly dissimilar worlds of teenagedom and parenthood to create a strip that is equally enjoyed by teens and their parents.Appealingly portraying the angst and insecurities associated with growing up, Alternative Zits: A Zits Treasury features all strips from Are We Out of the Driveway Yet? and Rude, Crude, and Tattooed.

A new collection of the comic strip about Jeremy Duncan and his family and friends and their struggle to survive his teenage years.

This "Zits" treasury combines strips from "Thrashed" and "Pimp My Lunch," meaning fans can once again enjoy such "Zits" classic moments as the joys of instant messaging and the proper way to apply deodorant.

Think teenagers don''t read as much as they used to? Drop in any bookstore and you''re likely to find a teenager sitting cross-legged on the floor, paging through the latest Zits book. Zits chronicles the daily lives of a teen in a way that''s not done in the popular media-with respect. "Having teenagers in the house is like having a front-row seat to one of life''s great passages," says Jim Borgman. "Zits tries to respect that period by taking a sympathetic view of all the players involved-the parents, as well as the kids." "We like to think of Zits as the antidote to all of the bad stuff you read about teenagers today," adds Jerry Scott. "Many people believe that modern adolescence is all about gangs, guns, drugs, and AIDS. While all of that exists, Zits takes a look at the teen years from ground level, where, for most kids, relationships, friendships, school, and sports are the stuff of daily life." Zits levels the playing field and often causes (gasp!) communication to occur between kids and their parents. Appearing in over 1,200 newspapers worldwide, this enormously popular comic strip has been a comic staple since it was first syndicated by King Features in 1997. .

Another collection of the comic strip adventures of Jeremy Duncan and his family and friends as they all struggle to survive his teenage years.

Variety has reported that scribe Adam "Tex" Davis (Big Fat Liar) has signed on to adapt ''Zits, '' into a Universal Pictures feature film.- Coming-of-age stories that draw on the author''s family history, are one of the most frequent subjects, for major Hispanic-American writers; these include: Oscar Zeta Acosta (Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo), Luis Rodriguez (Always Running: La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.), Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street), Richard Rodriguez (Hunger of Memory), Rudolfo Anaya (Bless Me Ultima), Arturo Islas (The Rain God) and Gary Soto (Living up the Street).

Adolescence is a time of painful growth and unpredictable change, when kids come packaged in a jumble of baggy jeans, rolling eyeballs, and grunting communication. Cartoonists Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman have captured the humor of that challenging time with Zits, in which they chronicle the life and times of the typically exasperating yet ever lovable Jeremy Duncan.
