“Introducing Camus portrays a man who was an intellectual in
the tradition of the great French humanists, a Resistance fighter during
World War II, and also a great sensualist for whom sun, sea, sex, football,
and theater were the answer to life’s absurdity."

Islam is one of the world's great monotheistic religions. Islamic
culture, spanning 1,500 years, has produced some of the finest achievements
of humanity. Yet the religion followed by a fifth of humankind is too often
seen in the West in terms of fundamentalism, bigotry and violence- a
perception that couldn't be more wrong.
Introducing Islam recounts the history of Islam from the birth of
Prophet Muhammad in the 6th century to its status as a global culture and
political force today. Charting the achievements of Muslim civilisation, it
explains the nature and message of the Qur'an, outlines the basic features
of Islamic law, and assesses the impact of colonialism on Muslim
societies.

INTERVIEWS WITH CONTEMPORARY CARTOONISTS
Inneholder intervjuer med Lynda Barry, Alison Bechdel, Charles Burns,
Daniel Clowes, Phoebe Gloeckner, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Scott McCloud,
Francoise Mouly, Joe Sacco, Art Spiegelman, Adrian Tomine og Chris Ware.
"For nearly a decade Hillary L. Chute has been
sitting down for extensive interviews with the leading figures in comics,
and with Outside the Box she offers fans a chance to share her
ringside seat. Chute’s in-depth discussions with twelve of the most
prominent and accomplished artists and writers in comics today reveal a
creative community that is richly interconnected yet fiercely independent,
its members sharing many interests and approaches while working with
wildly different styles and themes. Chute’s subjects run the gamut
of contemporary comics practice, from underground pioneers like Art
Spiegelman and Lynda Barry, to the analytic work of Scott McCloud, the
journalism of Joe Sacco, and the extended narratives of Alison Bechdel,
Charles Burns, and more. They reflect on their experience and innovations,
the influence of peers and mentors, the reception of their art and the
growth of critical attention, and the crucial place of print amid the
encroachment of the digital age."

A GRAPHIC INVESTIGATION INTO THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION
"Within days of the murder of President John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B.
Johnson appointed a seven-member commission to investigate the
assassination. In its report, the Warren Commission determined that there
was “no credible evidence” conflicting with its conclusion of a lone
gunman. Artist Ernie Colón, bestselling illustrator of The 9/11
Report: A Graphic Adaptation, teams up with author Dan Mishkin to
provide a unique means of testing the commission’s findings, unraveling
conflicting narratives side by side through graphic-novel techniques.
The Warren Commission Report: A Graphic Investigation into the Kennedy
Assassination breaks down how decisions in the days that followed the
assassination not only shaped how the commission reconstructed events but
also helped foster the conspiracy theories that play a part in American
politics to this day."

"Saint Cole depicts four days in the life of a twenty-eight-year-old
suburbanite named Joe who feels trapped working overtime at a pizza
restaurant to support his girlfriend, Nicole, and their infant child.
Especially when Nicole invites her troubled mother, Angela, to move into
their two-bedroom apartment until she lands on her feet again. Joe reacts
to this development by further retreating into alcohol. He thinks he loves
Nicole but resents her at the same time. They probably wouldn’t still be
with each other if she hadn’t become pregnant. Joe wants out. He’s
angry. He’s in a position to act rashly. And he does. This sophomore
graphic novel from Noah Van Sciver may seem like a left turn from his
critically acclaimed debut graphic novel biography of Abraham Lincoln
(The Hypo), yet upon closer reflection, it continues Van
Sciver’s interest in pathos and the human condition."
