Book Description
What happens on Earthlight doesn’t stay on the outpost—and could lead to Earth’s destruction. Students become pawns in this sci-fi manga thriller. Earthlight has survived catastrophic accidents, political strife, and clamorous discord. But now the lunar colony faces a deadly threat from the very power satellites that orbit the moon, beaming much-needed energy back to Earth. Terrorists have seized the Power Bases, plunging Earthlight into darkness. Worse, they threaten to burn whole Earth-cities to ashes if their demands aren’t met. And for fifteen-year-old Damon Cole, it’s a disaster that will strike closer to home than he could have ever imagined. Praise for Earthlight, Volume 1 “Basically The O.C. on the moon, Earthlight’s situations are still universal and appealing for a YA audience.” —Publishers Weekly “The artwork features beautiful images of the colony’s structures, as well as many views of the star-filled sky . . . [a] cliff-hanger ending . . . Readers will clamor for volume two to see what happens next.” —School Library Journal

Book Description
A German teenage girl leads her misfit soccer team against their school's challenging team in this continuing sports manga series. When the going gets tough, the tough dress to impress! It's been a hard road, but Anya is determined to start her own soccer team. And thanks to her friend Feliz's inspirational Gothic Lolita jersey design, the topsy-turvy team has started to attract some serious attention. Do they have what it takes to compete with the official school team? It's going to take more than indie cred and high fashion if they want to take their game to the next level! Praise for Gothic Sports, Volume 1 "The novel is part sports manga, part shojo school story, with more emphasis placed on relationships and fashion than sports. The characters are well drawn, but the background art is often starkly sparse. A good option for libraries seeking short manga series."--School Library Journal "Gothic Sports is a German manga created by Anike Hage who appears to have adapted many of the classic tropes of manga, while still maintaining an individual style that shines. The art is wonderful--a minimalist line-style coupled with a prudent use of tone. The wide range of emotions the characters display are wonderfully captured in the art and promises bigger and better things from this artist in the future."--Otaku News

However, things aren’t exactly normal in this town, which is being taken over by a cult. If Dogby’s going to take on legions of disciples, he might have to call in for some extra help, straight from Hollywood. Praise for Dogby Walks Alone, Vol. 1 “[Abbott] has a pedigree, solid chops on almost every aspect of producing a comic book, and has now produced one of the best OEL manga to come out this year in Dogby Walks Alone. . . . I'd love to let you in on some of the jokes that had me laughing out loud, but you're better off finding them on your own.” —IGN.com

Book Description
Larry Sitsky, professor emeritus at The Australian National University, is an internationally known composer, pianist, scholar, and teacher. His books are fundamental reference works on subjects such as Australian piano music, the 20th-century avant-garde, the piano music of Anton Rubinstein, the early 20th-century Russian avant-garde, and the classical reproducing piano roll. The Compleat Busoni is the result of Sitsky’s lifelong focus on the composer Ferruccio Busoni. Over three volumes, Sitsky surveys Busoni’s vast output, provides an ending to the unfinished opera Dr. Faust, and presents definitive realisations of the Fantasia Contrappuntistica in two-piano and orchestral versions. New insights into Busoni’s style and aesthetics are an integral aspect of this work.

Book Description
Even a zombie outbreak can’t stop this gang of trick-or-treaters. Second in the “seasonal treat that the not easily offended will thoroughly enjoy” (Publishers Weekly). All your twisted favorites return, but this time they’ve brought along a few friends! The ghoulish Halloween adventures continue—but what’s this? The town has been overrun with zombies! Will the undead take a bite out of trick-or-treating forever?! Colored by Michael Kellaher, Kyle Foster and Glasshouse Graphics. Praise for I Luv Halloween, Volume 1 “Giffen and Roman have concocted a black comedy that reads as if Quentin Tarantino and Tim Burton had collaborated on a Halloween heist story.” —Publishers Weekly “Giffen has a bit of a knack for funny, absurd stories and this is one of the best examples . . . Giffen tells it very well, using comedy and witty dialogue and keeping the darker moments few and far between, to give them more impact.” —Trash Mutant “Comics veteran Keith Giffen flexes his comedy—and bad taste—muscles in an irresistible confection that would win nodding approval from Charles Addams and the producers of any self-respecting splatter movie.” —Now Read This!

Book Description
The Graphic Canon, Volume 2 gives us a visual cornucopia based on the wealth of literature from the 1800s. Several artists—including Maxon Crumb and Gris Grimly—present their versions of Edgar Allan Poe’s visions. The great American novel Huckleberry Finn is adapted uncensored for the first time, as Twain wrote it. The bad boys of Romanticism—Shelley, Keats, and Byron—are visualized here, and so are the Brontë sisters. We see both of Coleridge’s most famous poems: “Kubla Khan” and “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” (the latter by British comics legend Hunt Emerson). Philosophy and science are ably represented by ink versions of Nietzsche’sThus Spake Zarathustra and Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. Frankenstein, Moby-Dick, Les Misérables, Great Expectations, Middlemarch, Anna Karenina, Crime and Punishment (a hallucinatory take on the pivotal murder scene), Thoreau’s Walden (in spare line art by John Porcellino of King-Cat Comics fame), “The Drunken Boat” by Rimbaud, Leaves of Grass by Whitman, and two of Emily Dickinson’s greatest poems are all present and accounted for. John Coulthart has created ten magnificent full-page collages that tell the story of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. And Pride and Prejudice has never looked this splendiferous! This volume is a special treat for Lewis Carroll fans. Dame Darcy puts her unmistakable stamp on—what else?—the Alice books in a new 16-page tour-de-force, while a dozen other artists present their versions of the most famous characters and moments from Wonderland. There’s also a gorgeous silhouetted telling of “Jabberwocky,” and Mahendra’s Singh’s surrealistic take on “The Hunting of the Snark.” Curveballs in this volume include fairy tales illustrated by the untameable S. Clay Wilson, a fiery speech from freed slave Frederick Douglass (rendered in stark black and white by Seth Tobocman), a letter on reincarnation from Flaubert, the Victorian erotic classic Venus in Furs, the drug classic The Hasheesh Eater, and silk-screened illustrations for the ghastly children’s classic Der Struwwelpeter. Among many other canonical works.
