GRAPHIC CANON OF CRIME AND MYSTERY Volume 2 Edited by Russ Kick. Here is Teddy Goldenberg's dense, murky treatment of Dashiell Hammett's "The Road Home," often considered the first hardboiled detective story ever published. Shawn Cheng renders the first serial-killer story, the gruesome, so-called fairy tale "Bluebeard" by Charles Perrault. Landis Blair reimagines Kafka's The Trial as a choose-your-own-adventure story that you cannot win, Sally Madden colorfully presents a Father Brown mystery, and Alice Urbino will freak you out with her take on Psycho. Plus 22 other contributors using a wide range of illustrative styles to illuminate Sherlock Holmes, Edgar Allan Poe, Agatha Christie, Hannibal Lecter, murder ballads, Cain and Abel (the world's first murder), and the forgotten Lady Molly (a contemporary of Sherlock). As with previous volumes in the Graphic Canon series, the illustrations run the full gamut of media and techniques. The common theme of tracing the origins and standout texts of the morbid and mysterious is what unites these multifarious partners in crime. Seven Stories Press, 2021....More. Item Code: GRC02 Soft Cover, 9x11, 320pg, Full Color |

A hard-hitting crime noir mystery set in a modern-day Chinatown that garnered nominations for Best Miniseries and Best Writer in the 2000 Eisner Awards. Image Comics, 2021....More.

RAGGED TROUSERED PHILANTHROPISTS Robert Tressell's groundbreaking socialist novel, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, tells the story of a group of working men in the fictional town of Mugsborough and socialist journeyman-prophet Frank Owen, who attempts to convince his fellow workers that capitalism is the real source of the poverty surrounding them. Owen's spirited attacks on the greed and dishonesty of the capitalist system, and his support for a socialist society in which work is performed to satisfy the needs of all, rather than to generate profit for a few, eventually rouses his fellow men from their political passivity. Described by George Orwell as a piece of social history and a book that everyone should read, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is often cited as "one of the most authentic novels of English working-class life ever written." In this faithful graphic adaptation, creators Scarlett and Sophie Rickard craft a compelling fiction that paints a comprehensive picture of social, political, economic, and cultural life in early 20th century Britain that is still acutely relevant today. SelfMadeHero, 2020....More. Item Code: RAGGT Soft Cover, 7x9, 352pg, Full Color $19.99 |
