"In a time centuries before our own, one arrogant hunter has grown
bored of sport. Only the legends of a mythical beast excite him now,
but when he goes hunting for the creature he quickly discovers that
he is outmatched. Because this beast is not any mythical animal but
is composed of all the hunted pre killed in the past, and it is most
certainly out for revenge."

Etter sin forrige trilogi, der Scott McCloud forklarte hvordan man kan
lage, lese, og forstå tegneserier , kommer nå en glimrende
fortelling som ikke bare definerer genren, men også gjør det
på eksemplarisk vis.
David Smith er en New York-basert
skulptør som strever med å komme over tapet av den
nærmeste familien. Når han møter avdøde onkel
Harry, får han et tilbud han umulig kan si nei til: Å kunne
kunne forme ethvert materiale etter eget ønske, slik han vil, uten
verktøy, i bytte mot å bare kunne leve i 200 dager til....

"Do you know what your brain is made of? How does memory function?
What is a neuron and how does it work? For that matter, what’s a
comic? And in the words of Lewis Carroll’s famous caterpillar:
“who are you?”
Produced in association with the
Wellcome Trust, this debut graphic novel by Dr. Hana Roš
and Dr. Matteo Farinella is a journey through the human brain: a
place of neuron forests, memory caves and castles of deception. Along the
way, you’ll encounter Boschean beasts, giant squid, guitar-playing
sea slugs and the great pioneers of Neuroscience.
Dr. Hana
Roš is a neuroscientist with a Phd from Oxford University,
UK. Dr. Matteo Farinella is an illustrator specialising in graphic
journalism and scientific illustration. Farinella received a PhD in
Neuroscience from University College London in 2013."

"An engrossing and counter view of one of the most dangerous elements
of American urban history, this graphic novel tells the true story of
Benjy Melendez, son of Puerto-Rican immigrants, who founded, at the end of
the 1960s, the notorious Ghetto Brothers gang. From the seemingly
bombed-out ravages of his neighborhood, wracked by drugs, poverty, and
violence, he managed to extract an incredibly positive energy from this
riot ridden era: his multiracial gang promoted peace rather than violence.
After initiating a gang truce, the Ghetto Brothers held weekly concerts on
the streets or in abandoned buildings, which fostered the emergence of
hip-hop. Melendez also began to reclaim his Jewish roots after learning
about his family’s dramatic crypto-Jewish background."

THE (MOSTLY) TRUE STORY OF THE FIRST COMPUTER
"Meet Victorian London’s most dynamic duo: Charles Babbage, the
unrealized inventor of the computer, and his accomplice, Ada, Countess of
Lovelace, the peculiar protoprogrammer and daughter of Lord Byron. When
Lovelace translated a description of Babbage’s plans for an enormous
mechanical calculating machine in 1842, she added annotations three times
longer than the original work. Her footnotes contained the first appearance
of the general computing theory, a hundred years before an actual computer
was built. Sadly, Lovelace died of cancer a decade after publishing the
paper, and Babbage never built any of his machines.
But do not despair! The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage
presents a rollicking alternate reality in which Lovelace and Babbage
do build the Difference Engine and then use it to build runaway
economic models, battle the scourge of spelling errors, explore the wilder
realms of mathematics, and, of course, fight crime—for the sake of both
London and science. Complete with extensive footnotes that rival those
penned by Lovelace herself, historical curiosities, and never-before-seen
diagrams of Babbage’s mechanical, steam-powered computer, The
Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage is wonderfully whimsical,
utterly unusual, and, above all, entirely irresistible."

"European comics master Alfonso Font presents three satirical science
fiction tales, as told by an extraterrestrial, that warn of the dangers
that await the human race if it fails to change its ways: a planet so
polluted that life on its surface is almost impossible; the human race
continuing its destructive and fatal expedition into the galaxy to colonize
other planets; humans killed for their organs to transplant into their
“superiors”; and the keeping of robot companions, whose emotionlessness
may be the only way to avoid catastrophe."

"Tadao Tsuge was one of the key contributors to the legendary
avant-garde Japanese comics magazine Garo during its heyday in the
late 1960s and early 1970s, renowned for his unpretentious journalistic
storytelling and clear, eloquent cartooning. Trash Market brings
together six of Tsuge’s compelling, character-driven stories about life
in post–World War II Japan. “Trash Market” and “Gently Goes the
Night” touch on key topics for Tsuge: the charming lowlifes of the Tokyo
slums and the veterans who found themselves unable to forget the war.
“Song of Showa” is an autobiographical piece about growing
up in a Tokyo slum during the occupation with an abusive grandfather
and an ailing father, and finding brightness in the joyful people of the
neighborhood. Trash Market blurs the lines between fiction and
reportage; it’s a moving testament to the grittiness of life in Tokyo
during the postwar years."

"In what has become his calling card, the cartoonist Seth lovingly and
exquisitely designs Palookaville #22, adorning the cover with
green foil, and the interior with gatefolds and ornate endpapers. On
sumptuous display is Seth’s continual exploration of the past and the
search for resonance in the dusty corners of his consciousness. In three
separate sections, this bittersweet reconciliation with the past and bygone
eras manifests both in his comics and his non-comics art. Readers
will return to the world of Dominion, where Abe and Simon Matchcard of are
engaged in a war of the words over the slow, painful disintegration of
their family business. Their disagreement leads Abe to visit an old flame
and further ensue in a battle of memories, in the conclusion of part four
of Seth’s long running and acclaimed narrative. In chapter two of his
autobiographical serial "Nothing Lasts", Seth revisits his small town
Ontario childhood. He explores his town's library, drug store, and post
office, places whose daily presence in his young life provided comfort and
stability amid the school taunts, the many moves Seth’s family endured,
and his parents’ unhappy marriage. "
