Renowned artist/author duo Brian and Wendy Froud present, for the first time, the backstory of Cottington Hall and its intriguing inhabitants: the Cottington family and the faeries living among them. The rise and fall of this eccentric British family gives us humorous, and sometimes tragic, glimpses into how the Cottingtons became inexorably entwined with the faeries during the late 19th and 20th centuries. When a descendant, Maddi, visits the Cottingtons's dilapidated hall, she finds herself caught up in a story of intrigue and mystery. While reading the letters and journals of her ancestors and discovering a wealth of inventions aimed at allowing humans to visit the fairy realm unharmed, Maddi slowly becomes aware of the faeries and their world.

From the voice behind Ren & Stimpy, Doug, Bugs Bunny, nearly half the main Futurama characters, and much more, a revealing memoir of life before—and in front of—the micBilly West is one the most accomplished and beloved voice actors alive today. He's brought to life original animated characters like Stimpy from Ren & Stimpy, Doug Funnie, and Philip J. Fry, Dr. Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan, and Professor Farnsworth (and more) on Futurama. And he's played iconic characters like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in Space Jam, Popeye, and Woody Woodpecker.Chances are, he's made you laugh many times. You might even know some of his lines by heart.In Voice-A-Versa, West recounts his remarkable life in show business and the circuitous route that got him there, from a radio-call in contest that led to skits on morning radio in Boston, to a one-off appearance on The Howard Stern Show that turned into a regular role, to a big move to Hollywood, and legendary roles working with other talented creators.But West's life story is deeper and darker than that, and this memoir will reveal the traumatic upbringing that scarred and shaped him, and which gave birth to the "Billy-verse" of voices.Praise“Billy West is the kind of genius you have to write about in the plural. He’s not just a brilliant actor, he’s a hundred brilliant actors. And this hilarious book will give you the lowdown on Billy’s wild lives and unforgettable voices, and how those fevered brains of his crack us all up.”—MATT GROENING“Billy West is my friend, and if I had my way, he would only talk to me as Larry Fine. He makes me laugh so much, but more than that, he makes me happy—because there is love in his every breath. I think everyone knows Billy is the greatest voice guy, but he also has a remarkable voice on the page. Billy is a hell of a writer, and he has a hell of a story to write.”—PENN JILLETTE“Billy West is the world's greatest voice actor. He is that rarest of weapons, the loose cannon who is also a straight shooter, firing off verbal missiles on unexpected trajectories that somehow slam into the target with explosive hilarity, disarming sincerity, and deeply felt emotion.”—DAVID X. COHEN, Executive Producer, Futurama“Billy West is among the elite voiceover talents in our business, a talented musician, and a fantastic storyteller. It’s been an absolute joy to share the studio with him for the last thirty-some years as we play the now iconic M&M’s characters, and it’s always fun to listen to whatever else he has going on (which is always a LOT). He is truly the Man of a Thousand Voices.”—J.K. SIMMONS (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

James Gunn's Superman marks the triumphant theatrical return of Smallville's favorite son, kicking off a bold new era of DC storytelling under the umbrella of DC Studios. In Superman: The Art and Making of the Film, fans are granted an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Gunn's vision for a Superman that brings the character back to his optimistic, heroic, and brightly colored roots with all the action, adventure, humor, and heart that audiences have experienced in his previous DC entries, The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos. Author James Field (The Art of The Batman) documents every stage of the film's production, from Gunn and his DC Studios's co-chairman and co-CEO Peter Safran's earliest conversations about what their vision for Superman would be and what he would represent, to the comics they would turn to for inspiration, to costume and set design, and continuing on to post-production FX. Field conducted interviews with all of the film's key creatives and presents an engaging narrative of the highly collaborative filmmaking process. The book includes an introduction from writer/director/producer James Gunn, a foreword by Superman himself, David Corenswet, and a plethora of concept art and unit photography. Featured are Metropolis—inspired directly by the art of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster, the staggeringly beautiful Fortress of Solitude, the Daily Planet offices, and other locations in the film, along with costume and character designs for David Corenswet's Superman, Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, Anthony Carrigan's Metamorpho, Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific, and, of course, Krypto the Super Dog. Superman: The Art and Making of the Film is the ultimate companion to the first epic big-screen entry in the DC Studios canon. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror
