From banjo-playing Nazis to gangster gorillas, superhero comics have featured some of the weirdest antagonists ever published. This definitive collection of oddball supercrooks presents the most regrettable supervillains of all, complete with vintage art, publication details, and hilarious commentary from author Jon Morris. Vintage comic book art and the author's hilarious commentary introduce you to rogues and felons such as Brickbat (choice of weapon: poisonous bricks), Robbing Hood (steals from the poor to give to the rich), and Swarm (a man made of bees. Nazi bees!). Drawing on the entire history of the medium, The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains includes characters that haven't seen the light of day in decades!

Meet Warren the 13th, a cursed twelve-year-old Victorian bellhop who's terribly unlucky, yet perpetually optimistic, hard-working, and curious. Warren's pride and joy is his family's Warren Hotel, but he's been miserable ever since his evil Aunt Anaconda took over management. Anaconda believes a mysterious treasure known as 'The All-Seeing Eye' is hidden somewhere in the walls of the hotel, and she'll do anything to find it. If Warren wants to preserve his family's legacy, he'll need to find the treasure first - if the hotel's many strange and wacky guests don't beat him to it!

When the best-selling William Shakespeare's Star Wars presented the classic George Lucas film in the form of an Elizabethan drama, the results blew the minds of Star Wars fans and Stratfordians alike. Now the curtain rises once again on that star-crossed galaxy far away, this time revealing the tragedy, hubris, and doomed romance that will lead to the fall of the Republic and the rise of an Empire. The saga starts here with this reimagining of Episode I, a prequel tale in which a disguised queen, a young hero, and two fearless knights clash with a hidden, vengeful enemy. Masterful meter, Shakepearean soliloquies, and intricate Elizabethan illustrations will leave more than a few readers convinced that the Star Wars saga sprang straight from the Bard's quill.

In this hilarious graphic novel, the roles of cats and humans are reversed, putting humanoid felines in charge of tiny, dimwitted little man-pets. Manfried is a stray taken in by Steve Catson, a slacker with a dead-end job and nonexistent love life. Soon Manfried becomes the Garfield to Steve's Jon Arbuckle: lazy, selfish, and sometimes maddening in his weird human behavior. Yet the pair depends on each other to get through life's troubles. When Manfried runs away, Steve musters his meager resources to find his best man-friend and bring him home safe. Ultimately, both Steve and Manfried realize they're capable of so much more than they thought. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels
