Brom, author of the acclaimed illustrated novel The Child Thief, returns with an original tale of Krampus, aka Black Peter, the dark enemy of Santa Claus. When a failed songwriter witnesses a strange encounter on Christmas Eve: seven figures cloaked in black beating up a man in a red Santa suit and a sleigh. When Jesse steps in, all of the strange denizens disappear, leaving only a large sack. He soon discovers that Santa has stolen the magical bag of Krampus, the ancient trickster demon who punishes evildoers, and by picking it up, now he has become one of Krampus's followers. And the former Yule Lord will stop at nothing to reclaim his holiday, and return wild magic to the desperately poor denizens of Boone County. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one-homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? In this full-color illustrated adaptation of his book, historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be 'human.' From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas. Featuring 256 pages of full-color illustrations and easy-to-understand text, this adaptation of the mind-expanding book furthers the ongoing conversation as it introduces Harari's ideas to a wide new readership.

Operating out of a tiny office on Madison Avenue in the early 1960s, Marvel Comics introduced a series of superhero characters with eye-catching bright costumes, smart banter, and compellingly human flaws, weaving a tapestry of stories that would become the most elaborate fictional narrative in history and serve as a modern American mythology for millions of readers. Throughout the decades-long journey to a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, Marvel's identity has continually shifted, careening between scrappy underdog and corporate behemoth. Marvel Comics packs anecdotes and analysis into a gripping narrative of how a small group of people on the cusp of failure created one of the most dominant pop cultural forces in contemporary America.
