by Jessica Abel & Matt Madden Drawing Words and Writing Pictures is a course on comics creation - for college classes or for independent study - that centers on storytelling, and takes readers through the process of making a complete comic. With chapters on lettering, story structure, and panel layout, the fifteen lessons offered - each complete with homework, extra credit activities, and supplementary reading suggestions - provide a solid introduction to how to make a comic. Says Scott McCloud, '[Drawing Words and Writing Pictures is] a gold mine of essential information for every aspiring comics artist. Highly recommended.'

The Stratford Zoo looks like a normal zoo - until the gates shut at night! That's when the animals come out of their cages to stage elaborate performances of Shakespeare's greatest works. They might not be the most accomplished thespians, but they've got what counts: heart. Also fangs, feathers, scales, and tails. Macbeth, Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, has never been so funny as when it's performed by the animals of Stratford Zoo! (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Lewis Trondheim Whichever galaxy you're from, these interwoven tales prove that some stories are indeed universal - and that others are well... weird, bizzare, and clearly not of this world! But no matter how many eyes, legs, or tentacles they have, its nice to know that aliens too can smile, cry, poop, make friends, be kind or cruel, fall prey to peer pressure, and sometimes make a total mess of things while trying to do good.

The year is 2421. Awkward and shy, Pepper buries herself in the universe of the classic fictional superhero Supernova to avoid dealing with the perils of the ninth grade. But then fate intervenes when Pepper encounters a strange cat named Mister McKittens and stumbles into a volatile science experiment run by a sinister substitute teacher named Doctor Killian. Pepper is flung into another dimension, bringing her face-to-face with an order of cosmic beings who declare her to be the steward of their great power, champion of harmony in the universe, and protector of worlds present and past.

Just in time for the holidays, Natalie Andrewson brings the tale that inspired the Nutcracker ballet to life with a spellbinding adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffman's original story. Of all the gifts under the tree on Christmas Eve, only one captures Marie Stahlbaum's heart: a humble nutcracker. He's a curious little man with kind eyes, sweet red cheeks, and a friendly appearance. And as midnight nears, he comes to life, revealing a fairy-tale world of magic and wonder, wicked princesses and fierce battles . . . and an ancient curse that can only be broken with the help of a true friend. With the evil Mouse King looming and her dream world threatened, Marie will have to find the strength to stand up for her nutcracker-no matter what it takes. Natalie Andrewson brings E.T.A. Hoffmann's surreal and fantastical story to life like never before in this vibrant graphic novel adaptation of a beloved Christmas classic. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

Kaidu and Rat have only just recovered from the assassination attempt on the General of All Blades when more chaos breaks loose in the Nameless City: deep conflicts within the Dao nation are making it impossible to find a political solution for the disputed territory of the City itself. To complicate things further, Kaidu is fairly certain he's stumbled on a formula for the lost weapon of the mysterious founders of the City. But sharing it with the Dao military would be a complete betrayal of his friendship with Rat. Can Kai find the right solution before the Dao find themselves at war?

Hot on the heels of The Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins, the smash hit graphic novel that launched the series, Murder on the Rockport Limited picks up the saga where volume 1 left off. Both books are based on The Adventure Zone, a tabletop RPG comedy podcast with downloads numbering in the tens of millions and an army of passionately devoted fans. We rejoin hero-adjacent sort-of-comrades-in-arms Taako, Magnus, and Merle on a wild careen through a D&D railroad murder mystery. This installment has a little of everything: a genius child detective, an axe-wielding professional wrestler, a surly wizard, cursed magical artifacts, and a pair of meat monsters. You know, the usual things you find on a train. Available in softcover and hardcover editions. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Eddie Campbell In his latest graphic novel, Eddie Campbell conducts an investegation into his own sudden disappearance. In wildly comical reenactments of incidents from his curious life, his part is played by an actor. With audacious literary slight of hand, he puts words into the mouths of those who knew him. Clues are sought in artistic blowouts from the history of all the arts. And the major players, even down to Monty the dog, get their own daily strip and Sunday page, yellowed newspaper sections from an imaginary long ago. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
