Book Description
She wrote down everything. Her lovers were powerful men and when she threatened to go public with it, she died. Murdered? Possibly. But the diary went missing. The woman was Marilyn Monroe and her lovers included J.F.K.. Her death remains a mystery...as does the Red Diary as it has never turned up anywhere...until now...along with more diaries that chronicle a dark chapter in American history. THIS ISSUE: Double-Sized Issue! The conspiracy laden mini-series continues as the investigative team find the deeper they dig, the more questions and less answers appear. They also discover that asking the right questions but to the wrong people can have deadly consequences. The informant Carlos stuns with his revelations about the secret between JFK and Marilyn Monroe. "If you're a fan of conspiracies, this one's a no-brainer.

As thrilling as any mystery novel and as historic as any crisis or war, The Red Diaries is a winner." - Hugo Bravo, IGN A Caliber Comics release.

She wrote down everything. Her lovers were powerful men and when she threatened to go public with it, she died. Murdered? Possibly. But the diary went missing. The woman was Marilyn Monroe and her lovers included J.F.K.. Her death remains a mystery...as does the Red Diary as it has never turned up anywhere...until now...along with more diaries that chronicle a dark chapter in American history. THIS ISSUE: Double-sized issue! The investigative team searches for clues about a mysterious man's claim that the Red Diaries kept by Marilyn Monroe revealed secrets that would lead not only to her murderer, but the truth behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Even though skeptical, the investigators find out that the matter is much more serious and deadlier than they ever expected, even after all this time. "Gary Reed delivers a fast paced yarn that dovetails into the whole conspiracy theory of the assassination of President Kennedy and neatly intertwines it with the so-called suicide of Marilyn Monroe. An excellent job of weaving the different theories in and out of an investigation and providing readers with the everything they need to know. This may be a comic but it deserves a spot on anyone's mystery section of their bookcases." - Julia Mayfield, BOOKWORLD ONLINE A Caliber Comics release.

Tragedy strikes the team as one of their key members falls and the enveloping conspiracy wraps them all in danger with little hope of finding the truth. “...with a story like this, it's all about the execution, and this book has a wonderful execution. Writer Gary Reed is smart. He doesn't explicitly draw lines, nor does he play favorites, among the various theories. Instead, Reed's looking to write an interesting and dramatic graphic novel, which is what he absolutely does. It's a big task reconciling all the various threads and theories around the deaths of Kennedy and Monroe, and Reed does a masterful job of sorting them out in a very intriguing way. His narrative is part declaration and part drama, part conspiracy and part high adventure." - Jason Sacks, SILVER BULLET A Caliber Comics release.

Politics in the Gutters
Author: Christina M. Knopf
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496834240
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
From the moment Captain America punched Hitler in the jaw, comic books have always been political, and whether it is Marvel’s chairman Ike Perlmutter making a campaign contribution to Donald Trump in 2016 or Marvel’s character Howard the Duck running for president during America’s bicentennial in 1976, the politics of comics have overlapped with the politics of campaigns and governance. Pop culture opens avenues for people to declare their participation in a collective project and helps them to shape their understandings of civic responsibility, leadership, communal history, and present concerns. Politics in the Gutters: American Politicians and Elections in Comic Book Media opens with an examination of campaign comic books used by the likes of Herbert Hoover and Harry S. Truman, follows the rise of political counterculture comix of the 1960s, and continues on to the graphic novel version of the 9/11 Report and the cottage industry of Sarah Palin comics. It ends with a consideration of comparisons to Donald Trump as a supervillain and a look at comics connections to the pandemic and protests that marked the 2020 election year. More than just escapist entertainment, comics offer a popular yet complicated vision of the American political tableau. Politics in the Gutters considers the political myths, moments, and mimeses, in comic books—from nonfiction to science fiction, superhero to supernatural, serious to satirical, golden age to present day—to consider how they represent, re-present, underpin, and/or undermine ideas and ideals about American electoral politics.

Languages : en
Pages : 673
Book Description
America's secret war in the Caribbean during the Cold War is revealed as never before in this riveting story of the machinations and blunders of superpowers, and the daring of the mavericks who took them on. During the presidencies of Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, the Caribbean was in crisis, while the United States and the USSR acted out the world's rising tensions in its island nations. Meanwhile the leaders of these nations - the charismatic Fidel Castro, and his mysterious brother Raúl; the ideologue Che Guevara; the capricious psychopath Rafael Trujillo; and François 'Papa Doc' Duvalier, a buttoned-down doctor with interests in Vodou, embezzlement and torture - had ambitions of their own. Alex von Tunzelmann's brilliant narrative follows these five rivals and accomplices from the beginning of the Cold War to its end. The superpowers thought they could use these Caribbean leaders as puppets, but what neither bargained on was that their puppets would come to life. The United States, in its all-consuming fight against communism, stumbled into one disaster after another. First, with the Bay of Pigs, and then with the Cuban Missile Crisis, it helped bring the world as close to catastrophic nuclear war as it has ever been. Red Heatis an authoritative and eye-opening account of a wildly dramatic and dangerous era of international politics that has unmistakable resonance today.

“From Faraway California”
Author: Ali Dehdarirad
Publisher: Sapienza Università Editrice
ISBN: 8893772876
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Offering a transdisciplinary journey across Thomas Pynchon’s California trilogy, “From Faraway California” addresses the representation of (city)space in the Crying of Lot 49, Vineland, and Inherent Vice through “geourban” lenses. Drawing on specific concepts in urban and regional studies, the book provides a thorough examination of Pynchon’s spatial imaginary, where the reader comes to understand how his fiction tackles the socio-political and cultural consequences of urban restructuring in the contemporary city and the lives of its citizens. Pynchon’s depiction of California is further analyzed from mythical and environmental standpoints to shed light on his planetary vision and (post)postmodernist poetics in the span of nearly half a century. More broadly, the book’s geocritical and urban analyses of Pynchon’s fiction indicate what might take place concerning the future of urbanism, toward “planetary urbanization” and the formation of the “city region.”
