These are the first beats of the Beatles' career as only legendary rock cartoonist Mauri Kunnas could tell them. The cover depicts John, Paul, George, and Ringo crossing the street Abbey Road style, but the street's in Hamburg's seedy Reeperbahn red-light district, and the flip cover adds lost Beatles Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe to the mix. Kunnas chronicles the band from Ringo's birth (against a backdrop of the Luftwaffe shelling Liverpool) through the release of their hit, 'Please Please Me'/'Ask Me Why.' Focusing on the band's pre-fame days in a sly and irreverent style (and not shying away from Brian Epstein's fixation upon John), Kunnas makes liberal use of corny in-jokes and hokey wordplay, but it's all done in good fun.

Winshluss' multi-levelled retelling of The Bible revises the founding myths of the holy book. We are guided through the maze of the Old and New Testament by St. Franky, with a nose like a strawberry from drinking altar wine and a sceptical attitude. God looks like a retired biker and is a shy and alcoholic seducer, Jesus had a punk phase, Mary is naive and lonely. From the comic book parody (God vs Superman) to the adulterous tragedy, through the story of creation and a study of the disappearance of the dinosaurs to the mystery of the resurrection, the density of the book will leave the reader no respite from the horrors suffered by an inept and inconsistent humanity and the acts of an apathetic, drunk, and jaded divine power.

Written in the 14th-century, Dante's Divine Comedy has long since been acknowledged as the greatest single poem of the last 2 millennia. It is a true epic, which tells the story of how a lost soul is led by a spirit guide through Hell and Purgatory and finally to the highest realms of Heaven, where he is re-united with his lost love, the beautiful Beatrice. It has just one obvious weakness: Not enough good jokes. Now, after more than half a millennium, one comic artist has finally come forward to put matters right: Hunt Emerson. While remaining faithful to the narrative, the characters, and the philosophy of Dante's original, Emerson has dreamed up a brilliantly inventive series of comic variations on the poem.

1814, near the little village of Hartlepool England, a war-ship in the Napoleonic fleet sinks. Amid the wreckage, fishermen discover a survivor: a monkey dressed in full military regalia, the mascot of the shipwrecked French vessel. The people of Hartlepool despised all Frenchmen and, though they have never seen a Frenchmen - or a monkey for that matter, the ape unfortunatly found himself court martialled. Inspired by the famous legend of the Hartlepool monkey, this is a tragi-comic fable of war and jingoism, of xenophobia and ignorance and of the glimmering of enlightenment.
