"A timely and disturbing journey that illuminates the human cost of
terrorism and deceit.
The Attack opens with Amin Jaafari, an Israeli surgeon of
Palestinian origin, trying to save the casualties of a suicide bombing. A
day after the deadly attack, an Israeli police officer informs Jaafari that
the suicide bomber was his wife, Sihem. Believing her to be on an overnight
trip, he completely refuses to accept the accusation. They were leading an
ideal life in Tel Aviv, moving among both Arab and Israeli society with
ease, or so Jaafari thought. But then he receives a posthumous message from
Sihem confirming the worst. Desperate to understand how he missed even the
slightest clue, Jaafari leaves the relative security of Israel and enters
the Palestinian territories to find the fanatics who recruited her. In
search of the truth, he confronts a reality that he had refused to see.
This book was first published as the French novel L'Attentat by
Yasmina Khadra in 2005. One year later, L'Attentat was translated
into English as The Attack and it garnered international praise:
"A fierce rendering of geopolitical tensions and a plea for peace" (The
New York Times); "Audaciously conceived, courageously important [and]
urgently humane" (The Los Angeles Times). It was translated into
more than 20 languages and sold over 600,000 copies.
Then in 2012, the original French book went into graphic form with the
release in 2012 of L'Attentat by Loïc Dauvillier and Glen
Chaprion. This has now been translated into English by Ivanka Hahnenberger
- the book featured here.
The Attack is a poignant tragedy that mixes the intimacy of grief
and betrayal with the futility of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It
makes no judgment and takes no side. Chapron's masterful illustrations and
astute text are wrought with the despair and hope of Jaafari's search. The
raw humanity of the story raises more questions than can be answered.
Timely and affecting, The Attack is an essential purchase."
"A graphic story of intense current events.
From the pen of former Daily Star (Lebanon) reporter Samya Kullab
comes a breathtaking and hard-hitting story of one family's struggle to
survive in the face of war, displacement, poverty and relocation.
Escape from Syria is a fictionalized account that calls on real-life
circumstances and true tales of refugee families to serve as a microcosm of
the Syrian uprising and the war and refugee crisis that followed. The story
spans six years in the lives of Walid, his wife Dalia, and their two
children, Amina and Youssef. Forced to flee from Syria, they become asylum-
seekers in Lebanon, and finally resettled refugees in the West. It is a
story that has been replayed thousands of times by other families.
When the family home in Aleppo is destroyed by a government-led bomb
strike, Walid has no choice but to take his wife and children and flee
their war-torn and much loved homeland. They struggle to survive in the
wretched refugee camps of Lebanon, and when Youssef becomes fatally ill as
a result of the poor hygienic conditions, his father is forced to take
great personal risk to save his family.
Walid's daughter, the young Amina, a whip-smart grade-A student, tells the
story. As she witnesses firsthand the harsh realities that her family must
endure if they are to survive - swindling smugglers, treacherous ocean
crossings, and jihadist militias - she is forced to grow up very quickly in
order to help her parents and brother.
Kullab's narrative masterfully maps both the collapse and destruction of
Syria, and the real-life tragedies faced by its citizens still today. The
family's escape from their homeland makes for a harrowing tale, but with
their safe arrival in the West it serves as a hopeful endnote to this
ongoing worldwide crisis.
Beautiful illustrations by Jackie Roche - whose work on the viral
web-comic, Syria's Climate Conflict, was seen prominently in
Symboliamag.com, Upworthy.com and
Motherjones.com, among others - bring Kullab's words to life in
stunning imagery that captures both the horror of war and the dignity of
human will."
"Fartsfylt, spennende og kult om en jente som blir mobbet og bestemmer
seg for å ta saken i egne hender.
Mamma må reise bort for å jobbe, og Lisa skal bo hos mormoren noen
måneder. Men Lisa mistrives forferdelig på den nye skolen. Guttegjengen
erter henne for de utstående ørene hennes, og hver kveld sovner Lisa med
hendene trykket inn mot ørene for at de kanskje skal slutte å stå sånn
ut.
En dag hun som vanlig blir plaget av guttene, rømmer hun inn på
biblioteket. Der, nederst i en hylle, ser hun en bok som liksom lyser. Lisa
dras mot boka med den merkelige tittelen Håndbok for superhelter.
Underlig nok er ikke boka registrert i bibliotekets system, og
bibliotekaren hvisker til Lisa at det nok er sånn at boka skal bli med
Lisa hjem og bli der. Og i det øyeblikket begynner Lisas ferd mot å bli
superhelten Røde Maske.
Lisa kommer tilbake i Håndbok for superhelter. Del 2: Røde
maske."

"An archaeological dig in Cornwall has gone very wrong, very quickly. And Maria Kilbride has her hands full already, as the effects of the Injection begin to dig in. So Brigid Roth, her old comrade from the CCCU, gets hired to go to a stone circle in the middle of a moor, under a granite tor, to find out why a ritual murder might have torn a hole in the world. What is the Cold House?"
"Night Business is a tale of urban intrigue, savage murder, and street justice from fan favorite Benjamin Marra (The Terror Assaulter). A knife-wielding killer is on the loose, committing extreme acts of violence on exotic dancers. Only one man has a will powerful enough to stop this psychopath: Johnny Timothy. But can Johnny mete out his vengeance before more innocent victims have to die? Born from the crucible of 1980s trash culture and exploitation entertainment and focused like a laser through the prism of Marra’s brain comes his longest graphic novel to date: a nasty brew of revenge, power, and passion, about serial killers, vigilante strippers, and dangerous men raining street justice upon their enemies."
"Nicole Claveloux’s short stories - originally published in the late
1970s and never before collected in English - are among the most beautiful
comics ever drawn: whimsical, intoxicating, with the freshness and splendor
of dreams. In hallucinatory color or elegant black-and-white, she brings us
into lands that are strange but oddly recognizable, filled with murderous
grandmothers and lonely city dwellers, bad-tempered vegetables and walls
that are surprisingly easy to fall through. In the title story, written
with Edith Zha, a new houseplant becomes the first step in an epic journey
of self-discovery and a witty fable of modern romance - complete with
talking shrubbery, a wised-up genie, and one very depressed bird.
This oversized hardcover NYRC edition, designed and introduced by
Daniel Clowes, features new English hand-lettering and multiple paper
stocks. It is the perfect opportunity to encounter an unforgettable,
unjustly neglected master of French comics.
This NYRC edition is an oversized hardcover and features multiple
extra-thick paper stocks, full color, and new English hand-lettering."

"At War with War visualizes humanity's 5,000-year-long state of
conflict, chaos, and violence on a continuous timeline. Seventy pages of
stark black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings and woodcuts illustrate
history's most notorious battles - from 3300 BCE to the present day.
Interspersed are contemplations on war from historic thinkers, including
excerpts from The Art of War by Sun Tsu, The Complaint of
Peace by Desiderius Erasmus, and The State by Randolph
Bourne. Searing and sardonic, balancing anger and despair with wit and
humanity, these raw illustrations follow in the tradition of great social
satirists such as Honoré Daumier, Frans Masereel, Felix Vallotton, and
Otto Dix.
Seymour Chwast is a design legend. As co-founder with Milton Glaser of
Push Pin Studios, he led a revolution in graphic design in the
1960s and '70s, producing bold, vibrant work that pushed the limits of
nearly every visual medium. Now, he turns his pen and sketchpad toward
creating a new book on a subject that has been a personal obsession for
nearly six decades: the fight against war, humankind's never-ending
scourge."
"Growing up on the Aegean Coast, Özge loved the sea and imagined a life of adventure while her parents and society demanded predictability. Her dad expected Özge, like her sister, to become an engineer. She tried to hear her own voice over his and the religious and militaristic tensions of Turkey and the conflicts between secularism and fundamentalism. Could she be a scuba diver like Jacques Cousteau? A stage actress? Would it be possible to please everyone including herself? In her unpredictable and funny graphic memoir, Özge recounts her story using inventive collages, weaving together images of the sea, politics, science, and friendship."
"Julie Maroh's first book, Blue Is the Warmest Color, was a graphic
novel phenomenon; it was a New York Times bestseller, and the
controversial film adaptation by French director Abdellatif Kechiche won
the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013.
Maroh's latest book, Body Music, marks her return to the kind of
soft, warm palette and impressionistic sensibility that made her debut book
so sensational.
Set in the languid, European-like neighbourhoods of Montreal, Body
Music is a beautiful and moving meditation on love and desire as
expressed in many different forms - between women, between men, between
women and men and gender non-conformists alike, all varying in age and
race. In twenty-one separate vignettes, Maroh explores the drama inherent
in relationships at different stages: the electricity of initial
attraction, the elation of falling in love, the trauma of breaking up, the
sweet comfort of a long-standing romance.
Anyone who's ever been in a relationship will see themselves in these
intimate stories tinged with raw emotion. Body Music is an
exhilarating and passionate graphic novel about what it means to fall in
love, and what it means to be alive."
