Riad er blitt en ung voksen. Han er ferdig med videregående, flytter hjemmefra og begynner på universitetet. Han utforsker identitet, opplever kulturkonflikter og politiske omveltinger. Samtidig kommer det brev fra faren i Syria, brev som forteller om en lillebror og en halvbror som vokser opp i en annen kultur, langt fra det franske kunstmiljøet Riad er en del av.

Carl Barks har sendt våre fjærkledde venner i Andeby jorden rundt mang en gang, og i denne boken kan vi blant annet by på en rekke eventyr i både tropiske- og antarktiske farvann, hvorav sistnevnte inneholder et sammenstøt med det legendariske spøkelsesskipet, Den Flygende Hollender! På side 5 serverer vi en godbit av de sjeldne med historien «Cibolas sju byer», som i tillegg til å være et av Carl Barks’ mest ikoniske eventyr, kan påberope seg å ha vært en viktig inspirasjonskilde for den ikoniske åpningsscenen i storfilmen, Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). Hva George Lucas og Steven Spielberg lot seg inspirere av, må du nesten lese historien for å se!

I denne boken får vi også et fjærlig gjensyn med historier som «I det gamle California», «Den forbudte dalen» og «Menehunenes øy», og alle historiene er selvfølgelig laget av den store mesteren, Carl Barks!

One of a group of women working as welders in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Rose Arensberg has fallen in love with a disabled veteran while awaiting the return of her husband, Sam, a soldier in the American army serving in Europe. As we follow the bittersweet, heartbreaking stories of Rose and her fellow Rosie-the-Riveters, we’re immersed in the day-to-day challenges of life on the home front as seen through the eyes of these resilient women, as well as through the eyes of Eleanor, Rose’s impressionable young daughter, and Ruth, the German Jewish refugee Rose has taken into their home.

Ruth’s desperate attempt to exorcise the nightmare of growing up in pre-war Nazi Germany takes her into the world of professional women wrestlers–with devastating consequences. And Sam’s encounters with the horrors of a liberated concentration camp follow him home to Brooklyn in the form of terrifying flashbacks that will leave him scarred forever.

Victory Parade paints a deeply affecting portrait of how individuals and civilizations process mass trauma. Magnificently drawn by Leela Corman, it’s an Expressionist journey through the battlefields of the human heart and the mass graves of genocide.

Karl Kling's story is one of revelations, and these he has addressed in a letter to his daughter, Hella, who had disowned Karl many years ago. Karl's letter is a cri de coeur from a father to a daughter he never really got to know, and he comes clean to her about his failed marriages, his fractured family relations--and his love for men.

Taking place between the end of World War II and the 1980s, Parallel chronicles Karl's efforts to comply with social norms in order to keep his sexuality a secret. It also paints a picture of a life torn between conformity and rebellion, and the cruel realities of twentieth-century German society, where homosexuality was proscribed and punishable until 1994.

Matthias Lehmann poignantly depicts the story of a decades-long yearning to live an open and free life, and the price Karl and those he loves must pay for it. It is also a story of finding the courage to finally tell the truth no matter the obstacles...or the cost.

An original graphic novel based on rock music legend Pete Townshend’s 1970 screenplay of the same name, which inspired The Who’s 1971 globally bestselling and universally beloved album, Who’s Next.

Set in a Dystopian future where music has been outlawed, Life House follows a small band of rebels who stage an underground concert in an effort to undermine a tyrannical leader… and free Britain and all of humanity.

This graphic novelization is co-written by Doom Patrol’s James Harvey and Spider-Man Noir’s David Hine with art by both Harvey and Australian visual artist Max Prentis, lettering by Michah Myers, and inks by Eisner Award winning artist Mick Gray. It is edited by the former Editor-in-Chief of Bleeding Cool, Hannah Means-Shannon, and features a massive Vinyl LP format (12.25″ x 12.25″). This is a must-have for any serious music collectors, rock fans, and pop culture aficionados!

Originally envisioned as a sci-fi rock epic to follow-up The Who’s chart-topping song, “Tommy,” and put aside 50 years ago―in favor of Who’s Next songs like “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” and “Behind Blue Eyes”―Life House will finally take center stage.

Master illustrator and storyteller Sergio Toppi turns his massive talent toward speculative science-fiction and fantasy in this new collection of nine short stories exploring where mankind may be headed and how it connects us to where we’ve been before.

These classic works have never been published in English until now. Toppi’s influence on the modern comic industry is supported by popular legends including Frank Miller, Bill Sienkiewicz, Dave McKean, Walter Simonson, and Sean Gordon Murphy.

A pioneer active from the 1950s-1980s, today virtually unknown in English, Buzzelli horrifies, fascinates, and provokes with his unique blend of surrealism and dynamism. Displaying a range of influences from Westerns and science fiction to Rennaisance art and futurism, Buzzelli’s stories are a delightful, quasi-postmodern mishmash of high and low, showing an intricate hand and stylish narrative skill.

The first of three volumes collecting Guido Buzzelli’s stories in English for the first time, includes The Labyrinth and Zil Zelub, two of the earliest Italian avant-garde graphic novels ever published. These fantastic and grotesque stories are the perfect introduction to Buzzelli’s work.

ENDA ER HER?

Dei har redda sola i første bok: STIV KULING, og kjempa mot demonar i andre bok: NEVAR AV STÅL.

No skal våre udugelege heltar ut på sitt største eventyr når dei reisar galaksen på tvers for å finne sin mega-fiende. Enda må vel vera nær?

Armlause! Skruppellause! … Endelause?

Geraldine er lei av trygge rammer, forutsigbar fremtid og et liv på skinner i hjemlandet. Med en kvartlivskrise og eventyrlyst i bagasjen setter hun kursen mot det krigsherjede landet Moravia.

Når et skipsforlis fører til at Geraldine strandes med den mystiske gutten Elijah, blir eventyret raskt snudd på hodet. Et møte med den voldelige og
uberegnelige Chani gjør at to blir tre, og brått må Geraldine finne sin plass i en verden preget av politisk og militær maktkamp, flyktige allianser og streifende monstre.

I sentrum av det hele står jakten på den tapte Sentient-teknologien:
Nøkkelen til ubeskrivelig rikdom, eller total utslettelse.

The 1930s give way to the ’40s and Chester Gould makes things personal in this sixth volume of the Dick Tracy series. First comes a story of broken hearts and wilted flowers, as Tess Trueheart jilts her detective boyfriend for an ex-ballplayer who schemes to inherit millions, and he’ll kill anyone who gets in his way – including Tess! An encounter with small-time dognapper puts Tracy on the trail of a gang of fur thieves, and then hardened criminal Stooge Viller softens up, thanks to his young daughter, but not before he drops Dick Tracy into a dastardly death trap! The detective, meanwhile, crosses paths with an abandoned infant and an amnesiac chanteuse and sees that crime is for couples when the diminutive Jerome and his hulking bride, Mamma, sew death and destruction from city streets to the western plains, while the suave mastermind Krome decides to part ways with his traitorous girlfriend by permanently parting her hair! This book paves the way for the debut of The Mole and the Great Grotesque Villains who follow and completes the Clover Press and Library of American Comics transformation of the first six volumes of the Dick Tracy series into the larger-sized, standard format of the series.

Haruki Murakami’s stories in graphic novel form for the first time!

Haruki Murakami’s novels, essays and short stories have sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into dozens of languages. Now for the first time, many of Murakami’s best-loved short stories are available in graphic novel form in English. With their trademark mix of realism and fantasy, centering around Murakami’s characteristic themes of loss, remorse and confusion, the four stories in this volume are:

«Super-Frog Saves Tokyo»: A few days after an earthquake, Katagiri discovers a giant frog in this home. The frog promises to save Tokyo from another earthquake, but Katagiri must help him. Is this real, or is Katagiri dreaming? «[This story has] such an engaging mix of realism and fantasy that it takes a while for you to realize what a sad undertow the story has and how much it says about Katagiri’s solitary life, his feelings of powerlessness and his dread of another quake.» —The New York Times

«Where I’m Likely to Find It»: A woman’s husband goes missing so she hires detective. As the detective traces the man’s whereabouts, he reflects on the meaning of his own life. «A searching Kafkaesque parable about disappearance, loss and coping.» –Kirkus Reviews

«Birthday Girl»: A woman tells her friend the story of a surreal encounter she has on her twentieth birthday with the owner of the restaurant where she works, who grants her a wish.

The Seventh Man: The story of a man scarred by the death of his childhood friend in a tsunami. «Although Murakami’s style and deadpan humour are wonderfully distinctive, his emotional territory is more familiar–remorse, unresolved confusion, sudden epiphanies–though heightened by the surreal. In ‘The Seventh Man,’ one of his saddest stories, the narrator recalls the wave that reared up during a freak storm and engulfed his childhood friend.»–The Guardian
