DJINN Volume 1 Translated from the French. Our Highest Recommendation. By Jean Dufaux. Art by Ana Miralles. Kim Nelson has heard the legend of Jade, a powerful woman who was considered to be a djinn, a spirit with the ability to seduce any human heart—but Kim isn't interested in legends. She's just looking for her grandmother. Fifty years ago, Jade served the Black Sultan as part of the Imperial Harem, but Jade was no ordinary harem girl—she was the sultan's favorite. She had the power to manipulate men's and women's hearts, subtly alter their convictions, and even affect the course of an entire war.

Sky Masters Sundays Finally in again last week, is totally sold out, including the slightly hurt copies. I really did warn you, this would be a tough one, and I thank the dozens of customers who asked us to reserve a copy for them since this was first announced last Spring. The compiler tells us there is a slight chance for a reprint, but perhaps not, it was tough publishing this in Spain and then shipping it to the U.S. for them. |
Skyward by Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett We don't handle many graphic novels from Image, but this one caught my eye. And it was even better than I expected, it's a superb little story, unique and very well drawn. And just $9.95, what a deal. I had tears in my eyes when I finished it, and immediately passed it on to my significant other, Anne Hutchison. She's not even a comics fan, but SHE liked it too. Great read. Shows what you can do with realistic characters thrust into a totally alien concept, in this case, the loss of gravity for the entire planet. One girl loves it, but she was born the day gravity went away. Unfortunately, her Mom was one of thousands who floated to her death in the sky. Her Dad has never gotten over his role in this bizarre new reality and won’t step a foot out of their apartment. After reading this, I gave it My Highest Recommendation. |

We just placed an advance order Steranko: The Self-Controlled Man, which has yet to be announced elsewhere. We hope to have copies for you as soon as it is published. We've seen the entire 160-page pdf, filled with full color images, and it looks great. It's an intimate look at Jim’s comics work, with an interview. See our website for currently available Steranko.
