Benjamin Dewey's popular online comic is finally compiled in one collection for your melancholy-tinged enjoyment! The Tragedy Series is comprised of more than 500 sepia-toned vignettes that present those less than rosy paths available to us all. From such heartrending examples of schadenfreude as 'triceratops never got to see the ocean' and 'taxidermist and necromancer make bad roommates' to the necessary morale-boost of 26 'sadness reprieves,' all of life's peaks and valleys are accounted for. One part Victoriana, one part theatre of the absurd, and the rest full of heart, these illustrations delight the mind and the eye. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

(W) Fredrik Stromberg As one of the most effective and powerful forms of communication, it comes as no surprise that comic art has been misappropriated by governments, self-interest groups, do-gooders, and sinister organizations to spread their message. This book examines every kind of propaganda, and how positive or pernicious messages have been conveyed in the pages of comic books over the last 100 years. A fascinating visual history of some of the most outrageous, unbelievable, and politically charged comics ever published. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

For twenty years, a story has been told about the first company that made Dungeons & Dragons, TSR, and the story goes something like this: Dungeons & Dragons created the genre of role-playing games in 1974, and that made TSR successful. In the 1990's, Wizards of the Coast created a new kind of game, the collectible card game. People started playing Wizards' flagship product, Magic: The Gathering, and that competition killed TSR. In a twist worthy of a Greek tragedy, Wizards ended up buying TSR. It is a story of competition and creative destruction, as capitalism teaches us is right and good. That story is entirely wrong. Through hundreds of hours of interviews, endless research, and the help of anonymous sources providing secret documents, the true story of what happened to TSR and Dungeons & Dragons can finally be told. TSR did not so much die in capitalist combat as it bled to death of self-inflicted wounds. The true history is that of disastrous mistakes, and decisions founded on arrogance rather than good sense. Debts were racked up, geniuses driven from the company, and thousands of products were shipped and sold at a loss, with no one noticing until after the fact. The story of TSR provides a negative blueprint, an example of what a company should not do in the geek business space. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

(W/A) Parsua Bashi In Parsua Bashi's graphic memoir, she paints a revealing picture of what it's like to be a young woman growing up under Shiite law in Iran. In the tradition of graphic memoirs such as Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, this is not only a look at a young woman's struggles growing up, but a window into a non-Western culture that we are still struggling to understand. Beautifully told and poignant, this is a powerful work about the necessity of freedom. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
