"This imaginative illustrated edition brings to life one of the most
devastating periods in our nation’s history - the Great Depression -
through the lives of American people, from politicians and workers to
businessmen, farmers, and ordinary citizens. Smart and stylish,
black-and-white art from acclaimed illustrator Paul Rivoche provides an
utterly original vision of the coexistence of despair and hope that
characterized Depression-era America. Shlaes’s narrative and Rivoche’s
art illuminate key economic concepts, presenting the thought-provoking case
that New Deal regulation prolonged the Depression.
The Forgotten Man reveals through striking words and pictures
moving personal stories that capture the spirit of this crucial moment in
American history and the steadfast character and ingenuity of those that
lived it."
"Soviet Daughter is the story of Julia Alekseyeva's
great-grandmother Lola. Born in 1910 to a poor, Jewish family outside of
Kiev, Lola lived through the Bolshevik revolution, a horrifying civil war,
Stalinist purges, and the Holocaust. She taught herself to read, and
supported her extended family working as a secretary for the notorious NKVD
(which became the KGB) and later as a lieutenant for the Red Army. Her
family, including 4-year-old Julia, moved to the U.S. in the wake of
Chernobyl and forged a new life. Interleaved with Lola's history we find
Julia's own struggles of coming of age in an immigrant family and her
political awakening in the midst of the radical politics of the turn of the
millennium.
At times heartbreaking and at times funny, this graphic novel memoir unites
two generations of strong, independent women against a sweeping backdrop of
the history of the USSR. Like Sarah Glidden in How to Understand Israel
in 60 Days or Less, or Marjane Satrapi in Persepolis,
Alekseyeva deftly combines compelling stories of women finding their way in
the world with an examination of the ties we all have with our families,
ethnicities, and the still-fresh traumas of the 20th century."
"The Birth of Kitaro collects seven of Shigeru Mizuki's early, and beloved, Kitaro stories, making them available for the first time in English, in an all-new, kid-friendly format. These stories are from the golden era of the late 1960s, when Gegege no Kitaro truly hit its stride as an all-ages supernatural series. Mizuki's Kitaro stories are both timelessly relevant and undeniably influential, inspiring a decades-long boom in stories about yokai, Japanese ghosts, and monsters."
"Kitaro Meets Nurarihyon is the second volume in the adventures of Shigeru Mizuki’s bizarre yokai boy Kitaro and his gaggle of otherworldly friends. These seven stories date from the golden age of Gegege no Kitaro, when Mizuki had perfected the balance of folklore, comedy, and horror that made Kitaro one of Japan’s most beloved characters. "
""A new era begins for the Black Panther! MacArthur Genius and National Book Award-winning writer Ta-Nehisi Coates (Between the World and Me) takes the helm, confronting T'Challa with a dramatic upheaval in Wakanda that will make leading the African nation tougher than ever before."
"This book contains hundreds of sketches, including early color drawings from the master of underground comic art, cover roughs for the legendary Zap and Head comics, the original Keep On Truckin’ sketches, the first appearance of Mr. Natural, plus his evolution and refinement, Fritz The Cat, the Old Pooperoo, and many, many voluptuous Crumb girls, all wrapped up in a quality hard cover. "
"Spanning the 1960s–1980s, this science-fiction-themed second volume of our complete Guido Crepax library features, in addition to adventuress Valentina, two more of the famed Italian erotic artist’s heroines. Marianna is a mysterious friend of Valentina’s (or is she? And why do they look so alike?). Belinda is a motorcycle-driving, pop art action star inspired by then contemporary characters like Barbarella. In The Time Eaters & Other Stories, Valentina meets a curious couple in an asylum, encounters strange creatures on a photo assignment, is caught in a Rube-Goldberg-like death trap, and much more. Reproduced in a lush, oversized format to best showcase the sensuous beauty of Crepax’s drawing, these volumes also include contextual essays about the cartoonist - and the real-world, mid-century Milan that the characters inhabit - by an international cast of comics critics and historians. Universally acclaimed as one of the most extravagant and luxurious series of comics collections ever published, The Time Eaters more than lives up to the critical reception of our first volume of The Complete Crepax."
