Book excerpt: Un lointain passé. Un seigneur du Japon féodal est assassiné par une entité maléfique. Un jeune guerrier qui a juré de le venger devient un samouraï sans maître, un ronin, et parcourt le temps et l'espace dans une lutte sans fin l'opposant au démon qui a tué son maître. Un futur proche. Une importante corporation dans la jungle de New York s'apprête à lancer une nouvelle et dangereuse technologie. Un télépathe enfantin et un chef de la sécurité volontaire sont les seuls à faire de la résistance. Quand ces deux mondes se percutent, l'existence du ronin prend un nouveau tournant... Deux ans avant de révolutionner à jamais le genre super-héroïque avec Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, le célèbre scénariste et dessinateur Frank Miller imagine une série limitée tout aussi audacieuse. En avance de plusieurs décennies sur son temps, Ronin est l'une des toutes premières productions à avoir fait découvrir aux lecteurs de comics les techniques innovantes du manga japonais, à travers un récit aussi hallucinant que les plus grands romans de science-fiction. Mélange absolument unique, saisissant et homogène d'est et d'ouest, de passé et d'avenir, de magie et de science, Ronin est l'une des plus belles réussites de Frank Miller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing especially on American comic books and graphic novels from the 1930s to the present, this massive four-volume work provides a colorful yet authoritative source on the entire history of the comics medium. Comics and graphic novels have recently become big business, serving as the inspiration for blockbuster Hollywood movies such as the Iron Man series of films and the hit television drama The Walking Dead. But comics have been popular throughout the 20th century despite the significant effects of the restrictions of the Comics Code in place from the 1950s through 1970s, which prohibited the depiction of zombies and use of the word "horror," among many other rules. Comics through Time: A History of Icons, Idols, and Ideas provides students and general readers a one-stop resource for researching topics, genres, works, and artists of comic books, comic strips, and graphic novels. The comprehensive and broad coverage of this set is organized chronologically by volume. Volume 1 covers 1960 and earlier; Volume 2 covers 1960–1980; Volume 3 covers 1980–1995; and Volume 4 covers 1995 to the present. The chronological divisions give readers a sense of the evolution of comics within the larger contexts of American culture and history. The alphabetically arranged entries in each volume address topics such as comics publishing, characters, imprints, genres, themes, titles, artists, writers, and more. While special attention is paid to American comics, the entries also include coverage of British, Japanese, and European comics that have influenced illustrated storytelling of the United States or are of special interest to American readers.

Book excerpt: The Cambridge History of the Graphic Novel provides the complete history of the graphic novel from its origins in the nineteenth century to its rise and startling success in the twentieth and twenty-first century. It includes original discussion on the current state of the graphic novel and analyzes how American, European, Middle Eastern, and Japanese renditions have shaped the field. Thirty-five leading scholars and historians unpack both forgotten trajectories as well as the famous key episodes, and explain how comics transitioned from being marketed as children's entertainment. Essays address the masters of the form, including Art Spiegelman, Alan Moore, and Marjane Satrapi, and reflect on their publishing history as well as their social and political effects. This ambitious history offers an extensive, detailed and expansive scholarly account of the graphic novel, and will be a key resource for scholars and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superman may be faster than a speeding bullet, but even he can't outrun copyright law. Since the dawn of the pulp hero in the 1930s, publishers and authors have fought over the privilege of making money off of comics, and the authors and artists usually have lost. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the creators of Superman, got all of $130 for the rights to the hero. In Empire of the Superheroes, Mark Cotta Vaz argues that licensing and litigation do as much as any ink-stained creator to shape the mythology of comic characters. Vaz reveals just how precarious life was for the legends of the industry. Siegel and Shuster—and their heirs—spent seventy years battling lawyers to regain rights to Superman. Jack Kirby and Joe Simon were cheated out of their interest in Captain America, and Kirby's children brought a case against Marvel to the doorstep of the Supreme Court. To make matters worse, the infant comics medium was nearly strangled in its crib by censorship and moral condemnation. For the writers and illustrators now celebrated as visionaries, the "golden age" of comics felt more like hard times. The fantastical characters that now earn Hollywood billions have all-too-human roots. Empire of the Superheroes digs them up, detailing the creative martyrdom at the heart of a pop-culture powerhouse.

Book excerpt: Taking the hero's road is a hard one, especially when a prince’s first duty should always be to his future princess. Ronin Reed and I have loved Zelie for years, but the age gap—and her stupid boyfriend Ren—made anything other than friendship appear impossible. When Ren screws up, my brother and I are ready to make a move. But which one of us gets the first kiss? Zelie Life is sweetberries and cream, until my boyfriend dumps me only days before our class reunion ball. My parents are too busy worrying over their endless war on ogres to notice or care. Looks like I’m going to be single forever. When Reed and Ronin Elmray start coming around, I attempt to laugh off their advances. But the troublesome twins aren’t playing around, and I’d have to be blind not to notice they’ve grown into attractive adult males. I know better than to fall for their flirtations, even if they’re experts at making me shiver in all the right places. Reed After years of pining after a female elf who treated me and my brother like pesky younger siblings, Zelie’s resistance is wavering. But the fun’s about to end. Ronin and I have a responsibility to use our elemental powers for more than snowball fights. Saving elves is a calling rife with danger and Zelie is not one to sit around waiting forever.

Book excerpt: In Big American Problems, Sam Wittke examines the link between various types of politics and the spiritual realities of God and human sinfulness, as laid out in the scriptures. In an increasing atmosphere of division, enmity, confusion, and authoritarianism in our American cultural moment, it is critical for Christians to think through these things through a realistic, biblical framework. Big American Problems hopes to tell the truth about our unprecedented American moment comprehensively and in a simplified manner. The conclusions herein are only meant to be weighed in proportion to the more immense matter of the Gospel, but they do provide a startling glimpse into what happens when the Gospel is rejected by a society.
