Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In the spring of 2025 the cartoonist Joe Sacco, author of Palestine and Footnotes in Gaza, and Chris Hedges, the former Middle East Bureau Chief for The New York Times, traveled to Cairo where they interviewed 29 Palestinian families who had recently left Gaza. In Requiem for Gaza, they use the experience and stories of these families to detail the crucible of the genocide, the loss of homes and communities, the appalling death toll among friends and loved ones, the constant displacement, the terror of indiscriminate killing, the hunger and deprivation, the obliteration of all that was known and familiar, and the struggle to cope with the callous indifference of a world that continues to supply Israel with weapons despite its wholesale destruction of Gaza and mass slaughter. Requiem for Gaza, like their New York Times best seller Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt, combines comics and single images drawn by Sacco within the narrative written by Hedges. Hedges' vivid prose and Sacco's visceral images complement each other and together paint a portrait of dignity and suffering under genocide. The collective power of the individual stories that chronicle the first day of the genocide, the forced evacuation of homes, the targeted assassinations, the false hopes engendered by ceasefires, the dislocation and alienation of exile, the brutal killing and hasty burial of family members, and the humiliation of living under tarps without clean food and water bring every aspect of the genocide to life. Set against this horror are stories of self-sacrifice and compassion that show how Palestinians not only clung to their humanity, but morally triumphed over their killers.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - A New York Public Library Best New Comic for Adults 2026 Two German siblings, 12-year-old Tâm and 14-year-old Dennis Nguyen, encounter a young Vietnamese woman in trouble in a flea market parking lot. When Tâm's spy movie-obsessed schoolmate, Alex, discovers an abandoned backpack with a photo of a happy couple with Tâm's address on the back, it will lead the two to discover a severed finger. Worried, Tâm searches for the desperate woman, aided by her reluctant brother, and eventually finds Hoa Bin, who escaped from her kidnapper -- who's still tracking her down. Drawn to Hoa Bin, Tâm vows to save her -- even if she has to break her stern-but-loving mom's rules, dodge the bad guys in wild chases through the Berlin streets, and combine the forces of Marina, the Nguyens' tough-chick neighbor, Jutta, an elderly retired actress, a rollerblading girl gang, and many others to do so.In Ross's empathetic, loose-but-controlled lines, cartoonishly expressive kids interact against and within the realistically depicted urban environments, given texture and grit by screen-tones. Nirvana Is Here is a contemporary crime thriller that has adventure, diasporic, coming-of-age, and love story elements, set in Berlin's working-class Lichtenberg district against a backdrop of very current social issues.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Is life a stage, and do we just follow a script Can we rewrite our roles, or must we play along according to the instructions of others The two stories in this volume, An Author in Search of Six Characters and Days of Wrath, take place in Africa, which author/artist Milo Manara views as the bearer of insight and hope for the rest of the world. Turning Pirandello's 'Six Characters in Search of an Author' on its head, Manara sets our favorite inept, globe-trotting hero-naif, Giuseppe Bergman (Manara's comics alter ego), off on another quest for adventure. An off-panel director hands out scripts and then disappears. (Are we watching a play or are we in it ) Dedicated to playing his role, Giuseppe is confused when others assert themselves and send the entire scenario spinning out of control. His sexy co-star, Lulu, cast as a bimbo, rewrites herself as the hero, leading us to ponder deeper matters, such as whether we possess true free will or we just think we do. (But watch out! Just when you think the answer is in sight, Manara flips the script once again.)Giuseppe Bergman's second African adventure begins with Chloe, a winsome nymphet who asks many questions -- about the facts of life (and the fictions, too). Is she really that innocent Or is she just drawn that way Manara allows his characters to break the 'fourth wall' as Chloe beckons us into an erotic, exotic Fellini-esque romp revolving around young Giuseppe's determination to return a kidnapped child to her tribe. His real motive To break free and become the hero of his own story, rather than remain the hapless plaything of an omniscient narrator. Part tongue in cheek, part philosophical exploration, Manara lets Chloe wink in and out like a mischievous Tinker Bell, pushing events forward only to then pull them back -- as Giuseppe Bergman struggles to make sense of it all and become the hero he needs to be.Artist/writer/creator Milo Manara skewers adventure comics and narrative convention itself in this absurdist, sophisticated satire. The Magnificent African Adventure, two complete stories in one volume.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - When the Comics Code forced EC Comics to abandon its popular horror and crime titles, EC launched a 'New Direction' in hopes of attracting new readers. Among the new titles were two medical dramas, M.D. and Psychoanalysis, which were competing in a rapidly changing media landscape, increasingly dominated by television. It would be more than five years before TV caught up with EC with shows such as Dr. Kildare, Ben Casey, and The Eleventh Hour -- precursors to the medical shows we know today. Artists Jack Kamen, Reed Crandall, George Evans, Graham Ingels, and Joe Orlando paired with writers Robert Bernstein, Jack Oleck, Carl Wessler, and Daniel Keyes to produce a series of taut tales of physical and psychological crises and the doctors who must make split-second life-or-death decisions. All the stories from M.D. and Psychoanalysis are collected in this volume, including: 'The Fight for Life' (Ingels) -- mankind's fight against disease before modern medicine; 'Shock Treatment' (Evans) -- a young boy's attempt at suicide; 'The Lesson' (Crandall) -- the race to save the life of a teenage girl mutilated in a high-speed crash; and 'When You Know How' (Orlando) -- during a blizzard, a doctor has to perform emergency surgery on a critically injured boy in his family's kitchen using only the utensils at hand.Plus: all twelve stories from Psychoanalysis, each masterfully drawn by Jack Kamen and most written by Daniel Keyes about the struggles of three patients to reconcile their inner fears and turmoil with their outward lives. With an introduction by Dr. Travis Langley, author of the heroes-and-villains Psychology book series.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In Akane Torikai's Wandering Cat's Cage, it is the near future. Only a few women are still able to menstruate, and even fewer men will be born to them. Reproduction is limited to medical intervention controlled from on high, and the structures and lives of the past hold no weight: they are only hinted at through the remaining scraps of a world that no longer exists. Life can be good, though, if you fall in line, and the women of The City live bright, happy, tightly controlled lives. But complete obedience isn't for everyone. For the women across the river, who live in a rundown shantytown, viewing the opulence of the city from afar each night, life is different. It is humble, and often dangerous, but it is free. It is here that Sanada, a young acupuncturist, lives with the mysterious Reiho, the only male she's ever met, and who sells himself to the rich women who sneak across the river for something they've never experienced .The two form a small 'family,' taking in other young women ousted from the city. But a real, living, breathing male might be too precious to leave to the shabby streets. When Reiho is kidnapped at gunpoint and taken to the breeding program in the city, Sanada must join with the other outcasts to try and rescue him, and learn the difficult truths of love, self-actualization, society, community, safety, and the future itself. Master manga-ka Akane Torikai (Sensei's Pious Lie) has produced a stunning work of relational SF through a gender-bent looking glass. Torikai pulls no punches examining the deeply messy subjects of our day -- sexuality, gender dynamics, romantic love, familial trauma, freedom, and control, through immaculately realized settings and character-rich, emotive body language. Produced in partnership with MSX: Mangasplaining Extra.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - For over 50 years, Glenn Bray has been shining a spotlight on some of the most outrageous, powerful, and subversive art made in the 20th century.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Palomar is the perfect entry into the works of critically acclaimed cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez and the still-ongoing Love and Rockets comic book series! It stars the inhabitants of a small Latin American town -- long-suffering midwife/sheriff Chelo; Pipo, tomboy-turned-heartthrob; Carmen, wryer than her years; teen boys Heraclio, Satch, Augustin, Jesus, Israel, and Vicente, whose paths diverge and intersect over time; Diana and Tonantzin, sisters and polar opposites; and many other finely drawn and dynamic characters -- whose already-tempestuous lives are roiled when Luba, an assertive single mother, moves there to set up a bathing business. Palomar is a selection from the first 50 issues (1985-1996) of Hernandez's multigenerational saga, which has followed the lives and loves, adventures and horrors, of his signature characters, their children, and their children's children -- borne from a place where the mystical is quotidian and the quotidian is mystical -- for 40+ years. These are the stories that forever changed the face (and the heart) of American comics. …
