"This is the tale of the titular Pietrolino, a man who came to use his
skills as a mime to stand up against the oppressor and cheer the bruised
souls of a Nazi-occupied France. The graphic novel adaptation of a theatre
play originally written by the ever multi-faceted Alexandro Jodorowsky
("The Incal," "The Metabarons") for the famous French mime Marcel Marceau.
It is here poetically brought to life by prolific European artist and

"An award-winning graphic biography of one of the world’s
best-loved artists, Pablo follows Picasso’s artistic career
from his origins in penury to the advent of modern art. Taking in the
artist’s early life among the bohemians of Montmartre, with all of
its scandal and frustration, and his turbulent relationship with his model
and lover Fernande, Julie Birmant and Clément Oubrerie show how
Picasso’s style developed in response to his friendships and
rivalries. An entertaining and beautifully drawn account, this
authoritative graphic novel explores the themes and obsessions - among
them, sex, death and his great nemesis, Henri Matisse - that drove Picasso
to express himself."

"What if we are merely shadows, our characters defined by a simple
inflection of light? The realm of possibilities opens up, because in our
world we are nothing but spectators. The Spectators unfolds as a
poetic and philosophical introspection on the nature of man.
Hussenot’s palette is awash with subtle colour, gently carrying the
narrative and allowing the reader to envelop themselves in the lyricism of
the work. Reminiscent of French New Wave cinema with its clipped dialogue,
gentle pacing and departure from a classic narrative structure, The
Spectators is an exciting new graphic novel."

"What if all the things you ever lost, each valuable possession you
vowed to treasure but could not keep safe, all the misplaced items you
never found, were all to re-appear? Gerald is a postman, much like many
other postmen. One day, having lost a precious and personal item, he
visits his local lost and found. Only to find far more than he bargained
for, because in this “self storage”, each and every one of
Gerald’s lost possessions has been kept and contained. How each item
got there and why they were under one roof was a mystery. But they were
all there… Faced with this new trove of personal riches, Gerald
discovers their ability to trigger powerful memories, resurrecting the
ghosts of his past, igniting long lost passions and helping him change the
course of his future."

AYN RAND, MORALITY, AND THE FINANCIAL CRISIS
"Tracing the emergence of Ayn Rand’s philosophy of objectivism
in the 1940s to her present-day influence, Darryl Cunningham’s latest
work of graphic-nonfiction investigation leads readers to the heart of the
global financial crisis of 2008. Cunningham uses Rand’s biography to
illuminate the policies that led to the economic crash in the U.S. and in
Europe, and how her philosophy continues to affect today’s politics
and policies, starting with her most noted disciple, economist Alan
Greenspan (former chairman of the Federal Reserve). Cunningham also shows
how right-wing conservatives, libertarians, and the Tea Party movement
have co-opted Rand’s teachings (and inherent contradictions) to
promote personal gain and profit at the expense of the middle class.
Tackling the complexities of economics by distilling them down to a series
of concepts accessible to all age groups, Cunningham ultimately delivers a
devastating analysis of our current economic world."

"The astonishing power of public art has
long been recognized by both governments and "big business"
alike in the West, with increasingly enormous public sculptures being
deployed to "regenerate" ailing post-industrial areas, or create
the "wow factor" on corporate HQ piazzas and at ever-expanding
airports. But what if this strategy were employed in an attempt to turn
around the fortunes of a whole country? This book proposes a scenario in
which two giants of British public art are commissioned by the United
Nations in a last ditch attempt to solve the social, financial and
political problems of Afghanistan."

Infantilt! Krenkende! Kvalmende! Ufint! Problematisk! Jupp, og alt dette er
samlet i et storslagent bind.
"Johnny Ryan's utterly
unpretentious taboo-tackling is an infectious and hilarious bombardment of
political incorrectness, taking full advantage of the medium's absurdist
potential for maximum laughs. In an age when the medium is growing up and
aspiring to more mature and hoity-toity literary heights, Ryan builds on
the visceral tradition that cartooning has had on our collective funny
bone for over a century. Now, for the first time, all fourteen issues of
Ryan's career-defining comic book series Angry Youth Comix
(2000-2008) are collected in one place. All the comics, the covers, and
even the contentious letters pages, in one toilet-ready brick
shithouse."
