(W/A) Gilbert Shelton A satire on fundamentalist religion and Western imperialism, starring the world's least successful rock band. It's every band's dream: an international concert tour, a chance to spread Freedom, Democracy, and the American Way of Life among the peoples of the world, through massively amplified Rock 'n' Roll music! You might say it was pure luck for Not Quite Dead, though not necessarily of the good sort. The Secret Spy Service wants to send a cultural delegation to foment disruption in the poorest country in the world to allow the US government to send in the military to restore peace.

by Grant Morrison, Tom DeHaven & Rian Hughes Rian Hughes, acclaimed as an illustrator and designer, collects some of his groundbreaking comics artwork in this remarkable collection. Writer Grant Morrison reworks of the classic British comics character, Dan Dare, set in a mass unemployment 1980's in which Dare is no longer sure of his place in the England around him. 'Science Service,' co-written with John Freeman, allows Hughes full rein for his retro style. For Raymond Chandler's 'Goldfish', adapted by Tom DeHaven, he captures the noir shadows in a clever use of 2-color artwork. Also in the book are 'Really & Truly,' also by Grant Morrison, from 2000 AD, and a selection of sketchbook pages. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

(W) Alan Moore, Tim Perkins (A) Eddie Campbell Two of Alan Moore's performance pieces are adapted by comics by his From Hell collaborator Eddie Campbell. The Birth Caul is a shamanism of childhood, a journey from the present to the past, back into the womb and beyond. The magical creation theory story of love, death and resurrection Snakes and Ladders entwines the disinterment of Oliver Cromwell and Elizabeth Siddell, the visionary nature of Arthur Machen's experiences after the death of his wife, and Moore's magical traveler John Constantine.

Detective Chief inspector Ladyshoe and his team at Scotland Yard are out to find who did it, and why, but they are up against the clock.

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.

Darren Bloke is an ordinary, hard-working stiff until a lottery win changes - and ruins - his life. He squaners his windfall and loses everything except his beloved dog, Skittle. Then he is visited by the spirit of John Ruskin, the Victorian artist, philosopher, and thinker, who shows him the true meaning of Weath - not how to aquire is, but what is the right way for an honest mean to deal with it. This strange comic book is part satire, part economic and philosophical treatise, part love story, part political argument, part psychedelic craziness, and always funny. Kevin Jackson interprets Ruskin's complex ideas into an absorbing narrative, and Hunt Emerson's fast, easy style makes the whole thing move like a Popeye cartoon.

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.

The front door of Shuna's family home acted as a gateway to Bangladesh. Nothing haram passed through this door, this was a devout house. When Shuna walked through this door, she switched her rebellious face to her pious face, which eagerly absorbed the teaching of the Prophet, striving to be a good Muslim girl. The switching between these two faces became increasingly difficult as they grew further and further apart, and when she accepted a marriage proposal by David, a non-Muslim, the secret life she led became impossible to ignore.

(W/A) Gilbert Shelton Fat Freddy's Cat began life as a footnote strip to the Freak Brothers and later appeared in many comics of his own. The never-ending army of roaches out for world domination drive him to distraction, as does Fat Freddy's failure to feed him or empty his kitty litter box. This cat has traveled to Mexico, saved the world from alien invasion, and worked as a government agent in Washington trying to save the world from the 'hee hee hee' drug. Collected in one massive volume, Fat Freddy's Cat will appeal to the sarcastic cat-lover in all of us. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
