by Jordan Crane An older man sits at his kitchen table, filled with melancholy. Dishes are piled up in the sink, a full pot of coffee burns on the counter; it's a quiet scene of existential despair. The man is a widower, and today is the day to visit his departed wife's gravesite. Little does he know that what the day holds for him will result in this being his last lonely Saturday. Both sweet and bitter, realistic and fantastic, The Last Lonely Saturday is an evocative, romantic novella told in a beautiful two-color, red and yellow palette. His economical images waste not a line, and his narrative flows effortlessly from panel to panel in this heartwarming story of love and love lost. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

by Richard Sala Where is Delphine? Where can she be, this lovely object of our nameless traveler's affection - or, perhaps, obsession? Since stepping off the train into Delphine's hometown - surrounded on all sides by a deep black forest - the traveler has found nothing but trouble. It seems the townsfolk aren't satisfied with simply being unhelpful - they are openly hostile and may even, for reasons he can't understand, want to kill him. Perhaps our poor Prince Charming was hoping for a fairy tale romance. While he did get the fairy tale, along with its witches and wicked stepmothers and haunted forests and evil spells, he may find that not all fairy tales end with 'happily ever after.' In this penultimate issue of the four-part series, our traveler makes a startling discovery and faces a new horror that drives him to the brink of absolute madness. (immagine) Categoria: Comics

by Richard Sala A mysterious traveler gets off the train in a small village surrounded by a thick, sinister forest. He is searching for Delphine, who vanished leaving only a scrawled-out address on a scrap of paper as a trace. In his newest mystery, Richard Sala takes the tale of Snow White and stands it on its head, retelling it from Prince Charming's perspective (the unnamed traveler). This twisted tale includes all the elements of terror from the original fairy tale with none of the insipid saccharine coating of the Disney animated adaptation. (immagine) Categoria: Comics

by Richard Sala In the second installment of Richard Sala's dark and suspenseful mini-series, the mysterious traveler finds himself sinking deeper and deeper into nightmare territory. The locals seem determined to undermine his every move and he soon finds himself stranded and alone in the ancient forest - and night is falling! This twisted re-imagining of Snow White, told from the viewpoint of the 'prince' and set in modern times, continues with more of Sala's eerily beautiful painted artwork and a startling plot that veers as far away from the countless saccharine versions of Grimm's folk tale as possible.

by Igort Baobab #3 returns to the structure of the first issue, split between two ongoing and (seemingly) unrelated stories set a century ago. In the first part of the book, young Hiroshi's ailing grandmother tells him that she will die soon, and that his future will be in his nation's capital: Tokyo. It's the beginning of his new life for Hiroshi, and the end of his childhood. Then, turn to the continuing story of two young, struggling South American cartoonists. Celestino is still living in his native Parador where, on the eve of World War I, a right-wing military dictatorship is growing in power and viciousness, even destroying the printing presses of the paper for whom he works. Even in this darkness, some light emerges: Celestino receives his first few fan letters from readers, and embarks on a romance with his publisher's daughter. (immagine) Categoria: Comics

by Igort Close to a century ago, two aspiring cartoonists - Celestine and Pilade - vowed to use this new medium to create amazing works of fantasy and magic, and talk a retired local newspaper publisher into reviving his paper just for them. But just as he sees his big break and gets ready to launch what will eventually become his signature chaacter, 'Morvo', Celestine falls terribly ill, and even his doting sister's help can't get him back on track. Igort's ambitious series traces an alternate history of the very beginnings of the comic strip artform, with subtle nods toward such masters as Winsor McCay and George Herriman.

by Charles Burns From the creator of the 2005 hit graphic novel Black Hole comes this new softcover edition of his other masterpiece of modern horror. Big Baby is a particularly impressionable young boy named Tony Delmonte, who lives in a seemingly typical American suburb until he sneaks out of his room one night and becomes entangled in a horrific plot involving summer camp murders and backyard burials. Burns' clinical precision as an artist adds a sinister chill to his droll sense of humor, and his affection for 20th-century pulp fiction permeates throughout, creating a brilliant narrative that perfectly captures the unease and fear of adolescence.
