In recent years, cosplay-the practice of dressing up in costume as a character-has exploded, becoming a mainstream cultural phenomenon. But what are the circumstances that made its rise possible? Andrew Liptak-a member of the legendary 501st Legion, an international fan-based organization dedicated to the dark side of Star Wars-delves into the origins and culture of cosplay to answer this question. Cosplay: A History looks at the practice's ever-growing fandom and conventions, its roots in 15th-century costuming, the relationship between franchises and the cosplayers they inspire, and the technology that brings even the most intricate details in these costumes to life.

The first graphic novel in an explosive new series based on the smash-hit RPG YouTube series by Dingo Doodles and Felix Irnich. A stoic masked druid, a cursed monkey sorcerer, and a bubbly magical girl are among the adventurers in a party searching for powerful crystals left behind by an ancient dead civilization...but their plans are derailed when an afternoon of drunken karaoke kicks off nothing short of the apocalypse. That's just how things go when you're in a fantasy role-playing session with gamemaster Felix and player Dingo. These two are your guides to the bizarre and hilarious world of tabletop role-playing, the delight of collaborative storytelling, and the chaos of letting the dice decide what happens next. Written alongside award-winning comic-book writer Christopher Hastings (Adventure Time, Five Nights at Freddy's), Fool's Gold is a chaotic, imaginative, and hilarious adventure story that follows a group of real-life friends as they embark on a role-playing campaign filled with dragons, vengeful witches, and deadly karaoke.

Told in stunning illustrations, Bix is a near-wordless graphic biography highlighting the career of Leon 'Bix' Beiderbecke, one of the most innovative jazz soloists of the 1920s next to the legendary Louis Armstrong. Composing and recording some of the landmark music in the early history of genre, Bix struggled with personal demons, facing the disapproval of his conservative parents and an increasing dependence on alcohol. Told mostly in silent panels to reflect his outsider quality and inability to communicate in anything other than musical terms, Bix tells the story of the rapid rise and tragic fall of a musical legend-a metaphor for the glories and risks inherent in the creative life.

What does a hero's journey look like when the hero in question happens to be a girl? Marvel creator Margaret Stohl along with Judith Stephens, producer and cocreator of the Women of Marvel podcast, interviewed more than 120 women and nonbinary Marvel contributors in search of the answer to that question. With one shared goal-to make the historically invisible work of women visible-and with unprecedented access to Marvel creators, writers, actors, and more, Stohl and Stephens set out to tell the story of the women of the 'House of Ideas' from 1939 through today, and along the way, to find the meaning of their own Marvel stories. Packed with biographies and illustrations of creators, graphical reprints and excerpts of historic Marvel comics, Super Visible: The Story of the Women of Marvel is an essential read for fans of all ages.
