Penguin Books Ltd The Avengers
Book SynopsisTrade Review“A groundbreaking example of comics representation in literature.”—Publishers Weekly“Penguin provides introductory essays; superb analyses by the series editor, Ben Saunders; and extensive bibliographies.”—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post“Stories become classics when generations of readers sort through them, talk about them, imitate them, and recommend them. In this case, baby boomers read them when they débuted, Gen X-ers grew up with their sequels, and millennials encountered them through Marvel movies. Each generation of fans—initially fanboys, increasingly fangirls, and these days nonbinary fans, too—found new ways not just to read the comics but to use them. That’s how canons form. Amateurs and professionals, over decades, come to something like consensus about which books matter and why—or else they love to argue about it, and we get to follow the arguments. Canons rise and fall, gain works and lose others, when one generation of people with the power to publish, teach, and edit diverges from the one before ... A top-flight comic by Kirby—or his successor on “Captain America,” Jim Steranko—barely needed words. You could follow the story just by watching the characters act and react. Thankfully, Penguin volumes do justice to these images. They reproduce sixties comics in bright, flat, colorful inks on thick white paper—unlike the dot-based process used on old newsprint, but perhaps truer to their bold, thrill-chasing spirit.”—Stephanie Burt, The New Yorker“As before, all three of these volumes re-present Professor Ben Saunders’ learned general series intro which does an excellent job of succinctly explaining the rise of Marvel Comics and the Marvel Method.”—Forces of Geek

Vintage Publishing The Talk: From the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic
Book Synopsis***LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL******A GUARDIAN GRAPHIC NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2023***Darrin Bell was six years old when his mother told him he couldn't have a realistic water gun. She said that police think little Black boys older and less innocent than they are. So began 'The Talk'...'The Ta-Nehisi Coates of comics' GARRY TRUDEAU, creator of Doonesbury'Darrin Bell has produced another American classic'GUARDIANThrough evocative illustrations and sharp humour, Darrin Bell examines how The Talk all Black parents must have with their children shaped his intimate and public moments from childhood to adulthood. While coming of age in Los Angeles - and finding a voice through cartooning - Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbours and police officers, and thus of his mortality. Drawing attention to the brutal murders of African Americans, and showcasing revealing insights and cartoons along the way, he brings us up to the moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.And now Bell must decide whether he and his own six-year-old son are ready to have The Talk.Trade ReviewDarrin Bell has produced another American classic... An expressive and direct work about racism’s impact, and the problems we have discussing it * Guardian, *Best Graphic Novels of the Year* *It's nearly impossible to appreciate another person's truth, but if a brilliant storyteller offers to light the way, take him up on it. Bell is the Ta-Nehisi Coates of comics, an indispensable explainer of how it feels to grow up in a world that repeatedly treats you as other. The talk with my white sons boiled down to 'Be kind.' It's hard to overstate the distance between that admonition and 'Stay alive' -- Garry Trudeau, creator of DoonesburyVisually stunning, and propulsive, with an absorbing narrative voice... Reminiscent of longform comics memoirs such as Alison Bechdel's Fun Home and Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis... This epic portrait of an artist is a masterpiece... The Talk makes a penetrative, and lasting, impression * NPR *Propulsive reading, drawn with urgency and verve. Once you pick up The Talk, you won't be able to put it down -- Alison Bechdel, author of Fun HomeA moving portrait... funny and touching, intellectually and emotionally stimulating. There's pride and prejudice, family drama, and a love story. I loved this book. You will too -- Victor LaValle, author of The ChangelingA Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist draws on his childhood in Los Angeles to explore racism on a deeply personal level. There’s a poignancy, too, in the cyclical nature of the story: Bell, now a father, is wrestling with the same questions his own parents face * New York Times *A deeply personal, brutally honest, and achingly funny graphic novel... The Talk is a strikingly illustrated vision -- Lalo Alcaraz, creator of La CucarachaDarrin Bell's first foray into graphic novels is a triumph. A cinematically comic, coming-of-age blend of race, culture, and gratuitous nerdity. Wonderful -- Keith Knight, creator of The K Chronicles and Woke

Howard, proud." Comics Beat "By Crom, this is a fine tale! 10/10." Superherohype.com "Every aspect of this book was on point! The Buscema-inspired artwork from De La Torre couldn't be more perfect.

It's a solid read, it's entertaining, the art is amazing" Graphic Policy "De La Torre's artwork is gorgeous and dynamic, and it hearkens back to some of the most beloved depictions of the character.

Grimdark Magazine "A classic Conan tale and Jim Zub seems the perfect fit for it...The nostalgia factor was a 10." Comic Book Club "This looks like something that just leaped out of Savage Sword. I was so floored when I saw this...this reads like a great Conan comic. The text in here could have been written by Roy Thomas or Robert E. Howard. It perfectly captures the character, especially the wanderlust." Todd Luck "They chose an art style that specifically speaks to Conan...That style of art speaks to you as a reader. It speaks to me as a reader. It speaks to people who are going to be picking this up from scratch...I think they really knocked it out of the park for issue zero."

Comical Opinions "Plants the seeds for some exciting adventures ahead." ComicBook.com "Conan the Barbarian #1 is a lightning jump-start that should please existing fans, and give newcomers a great sense of pulp adventure, and sword and sorcery's, distinct escapist offering." - PFangirl "Roberto De la Torre produces some great artwork" Sci Fi Pulse "An all-star creative team and balls-to-the-wall execution make this take on Conan's legend a winner.

Penguin Books Ltd Captain America 2 Penguin Classics Marvel
Book SynopsisThe Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel’s transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy. A Penguin Classics Marvel Collection Edition Collects Captain America Comics #1 (1941); the Captain America stories from Tales of Suspense #59, #63-68, #75-81, #92-95, #110-113 (1964-1969); “Captain America…Commie Smasher” from Captain America #78 (1954). It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few. Drawing upon multiple comic book series, thisTrade Review“A groundbreaking example of comics representation in literature.”—Publishers Weekly“Penguin provides introductory essays; superb analyses by the series editor, Ben Saunders; and extensive bibliographies.”—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post“Stories become classics when generations of readers sort through them, talk about them, imitate them, and recommend them. In this case, baby boomers read them when they débuted, Gen X-ers grew up with their sequels, and millennials encountered them through Marvel movies. Each generation of fans—initially fanboys, increasingly fangirls, and these days nonbinary fans, too—found new ways not just to read the comics but to use them. That’s how canons form. Amateurs and professionals, over decades, come to something like consensus about which books matter and why—or else they love to argue about it, and we get to follow the arguments. Canons rise and fall, gain works and lose others, when one generation of people with the power to publish, teach, and edit diverges from the one before ... A top-flight comic by Kirby—or his successor on “Captain America,” Jim Steranko—barely needed words. You could follow the story just by watching the characters act and react. Thankfully, Penguin volumes do justice to these images. They reproduce sixties comics in bright, flat, colorful inks on thick white paper—unlike the dot-based process used on old newsprint, but perhaps truer to their bold, thrill-chasing spirit.”—Stephanie Burt, The New Yorker
