"Beirut in the 1970s is a paradise. Wealthy families ride escalators
and fill shopping carts with imported food and luxury products from Paris
and New York. Lamia Ziadé, seven years old, dreams of banana splits,
American candy, flying on Pan Am Airways and visiting the local cinema.
Considered by the elite the 'Paris, Las Vegas or Monaco of the Middle
East', Beirut was in reality a powder-keg, waiting for a spark. On 13 April
1975 Lamia and her family returned from lunch in the countryside to find a
city in flames.
Looking back on the golden days before the war, and
its immediate, devastating effects, Bye
Bye Babylon positions an elegiac and shocking narrative next to a
child's perspective of the years 1975-79: of consumer icons next to burning
buildings, scenes of violence and sparkling new weapons painted in vivid
technicolour - war as pop."

"The deserted world of Delirius was nothing but a stain on the universe,
until it was converted into the debauched Planet of a Hundred Thousand
Pleasures by the evil Supreme Overlord, Imperator of all Galaxies. With the
populace placated, he can tax them to the hilt and fund his campaign of
terror. His opposition comes in the form of the Red Clergy, who attempt to
coerce Sloane, the master-less intergalactic vagabond, into doing their
bidding. Yet things are not always as they seem, and the piety of the
clergy means nothing in a world of licentious chaos. Besides, Sloane always
has his own agenda…
Written by giant of the comics world, Jacques Lob, with illustrations by
Philippe Druillet at his most fantastical, Delirius is a science
fiction epic that leaves readers utterly in awe of the sheer vibrancy of
the creator’s imaginations."

"Hysteria follows the early
career of Sigmund Freud, from his training in neurological research to his
establishment of a
therapeutic practice in Vienna. Taking in the
psychoanalyst's earliest clinical experiences, his studies alongside
Charcot at La Salpêtrière and his interest in the work of his
friend and colleague Joseph Breuer, Richard Appignanesi and Oscar Zarate
introduce the characters and case histories that inspired the development
of a revolutionary new clinical therapy. Drawing on the case histories of
"Anna O.", Fräulein Elisabeth von R. and others, Hysteria shows Freud and his
contemporaries developing ideas that would transform the intellectual
landscape of the Western world. This is a masterful visual guide to the
strange and fascinating characters that populate Freud and Breuer's Studies in Hysteria, the founding text
of psychoanalysis."

mesterverk.
"The twelfth volume of Fantagraphics’ award-winning series begins with
Prince Valiant attempting to rescue Sir Gawain from prison. Most of the
first half of this volume finds our two heroes fighting bullies, brigands
and a despicable Earl, but events soon turn very serious. Charged by King
Arthur, Prince Valiant sets out on a quest to find the legendary Holy
Grail. Should his mission fail the very foundation of the Fellowship of the
Table Round is at stake. This volume concludes with the Misty Isles under
attack, and leaves Queen Aleta perilously close to death. Bonus features
include an introduction by legendary comics artist Neal Adams and a gallery
of Foster’s rare Johnson Outboard Motor advertising art, annotated by
comics historian Brian M. Kane. With pages scanned directly from Foster’s
personal collection of color engraver’s proofs, this is the finest
reproduction of one of the greatest and most influential adventure strips
of all time. Full color throughout. "
