McGill-Queen's University Press Through Their Eyes
Book SynopsisBy the summer of 1917, Canadian troops had captured Vimy Ridge, but Allied offensives had stalled across many fronts of the Great War. To help break the stalemate of trench warfare, the Canadian Corps commander, Lieutenant-General Arthur Currie, was tasked with capturing Hill 70, a German stronghold near the French town of Lens.After securing the hill on 15 August, Canadian soldiers endured days of shelling, machine-gun fire, and poison gas as they repelled relentless enemy counterattacks. Through Their Eyes depicts this remarkable but costly victory in a unique way. With full-colour graphic artwork and detailed illustration, Matthew Barrett and Robert Engen picture the battle from different perspectives Currie's strategic view at high command, a junior officer's experience at the platoon level, and the vantage points of many lesser-known Canadian soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. This innovative graphic history invites readers to reimagine the First World War Trade Review“This innovative graphic history provides a new way of understanding the complexity and carnage of the First World War. Employing vivid graphics and authoritative history, Matthew Barrett and Robert C. Engen offer multiple and diverse perspectives to reclaim the Battle of Hill 70 for a new generation.” Tim Cook, author of Vimy: The Battle and the Legend“Creative and innovative, Through Their Eyes offers a new way to commemorate and connect to the history of the First World War.” Sean Carleton, University of Manitoba and the Graphic History Collective“Through Their Eyes presents a vivid depiction, both literally and figuratively, of the horrors of war. The authors view Hill 70 from the perspective of individuals at very different levels of status and responsibility, from the general to the frontline infantryman, interpreting scant evidence and imaginatively filling in the gaps.” Gary Sheffield, University of Wolverhampton“A multifaceted and nuanced look at a complex battle in an incredibly complex war. It will have you looking at photos and paintings of The Great War in a new light, considering both what was shown and what was left out.” Winnipeg Free Press“Through their Eyes provides inspiration for historians who wish to be both thorough researchers and gripping storytellers. It is the ‘permanent evolution’ history writing deserves.” Prairie History

Pennsylvania State University Press COVID Chronicles
Book SynopsisA collection of short comics about the COVID-19 pandemic. Diverse artists address disruptions in work, school, and family life as well as failures in public policy, racial biases, and systemic inequalities revealed by the pandemic.Trade Review“In a diverse, impassioned book, these quick responders illustrate the impact of the pandemic with work of lasting value.”—starred review Kirkus Reviews“COVID Chronicles will prove to be an indispensable work of graphic medicine, a testimony to a dark but unforgettable chapter in our common history.”—A. David Lewis,author of The Lone and Level Sands“Impassioned and impressive. . . . Captures the anxiety, courage, and surreality of the current era with a visceral quality that lingers.”—Publishers Weekly“As a taxonomy of the many voices around the pandemic, COVID Chronicles is a substantial and wide-ranging anthology.”—Bruno Savill de Jong Broken Frontier“By all counts, this is a significant and monumental work. We see where we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re headed. Each story here has something important to share and the book adds up to an authentic and valuable response to one of the greatest challenges of our lives.”—Comics Grinder“Never has the need for empathetic, well-rounded, and intelligent physicians been more crucial to the betterment of society. COVID Chronicles will be a fantastic addition to any library's medical humanities collection given its relevance to the current social, cultural, and political climate. The artists' stunning illustrations and relatable prose will at once make the reader laugh and cry, feel enraged and hopeful.”—Tenley Sablatzky Journal of the Medical Library Association“This collection offers unique, informative descriptions in meditative or documentary-style narratives to the global experience of living through the pandemic. It is diverse in expression and information. Graphic medicine is an impactful medium to discuss observations during global trauma and this is a unique collection.”—Suzanne Jeanette Larsen Doody's Review Service“Making sense of the past year is no easy task; it requires an anthropologist’s eye and a psychologist’s ear, an artist’s observation and a writer’s empathy. The complex form of comics is ideally suited to this task, and COVID Chronicles is impressive as both an archive of the new normal of COVID-19 and a provocation to never return to the old normal.”—Candida Rifkind Winnipeg Free Press“A broad range of voices covers pandemic experiences in every facet of our lives, from housing to mental health to historical context. Together, these stories highlight the medium’s inherent strengths in conveying our complex humanity. Essential and accessible.”—Nate Powell,artist of the March trilogy“COVID Chronicles embodies what comics can do so well: it’s an extraordinary and diverse collection of graphic narratives that bear witness to the pandemic as it continues to rage.”—Josh Neufeld,author of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge“Like the way panels and gutter space work together in a single comic, the stories in COVID Chronicles work together to link a remarkable variety of experiences from this shared pandemic while simultaneously connecting with the reader’s own life and imagination. This is the power of such volumes: to relate, to inform, to unify, and to witness. COVID Chronicles will prove to be an indispensable work of graphic medicine, a testimony to a dark but unforgettable chapter in our common history.”—A. David Lewis,author of The Lone and Level Sands“Wonderful art often emerges from pain and its rippling effects. The virus offers this silver lining of talented folks sharing their moments from 2020's year of hell.”—Paul Levitz,author of 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking

This is a graphic memoir of life in relocation centers in California and Utah.Trade Review"Originally published in 1946, Citizen 13660 is a documentation of life inside the World War II “relocation centers” for those of Japanese ancestry.

Get a copy and study the drawings. It will come as a revelation for the many who have never seen it." -- Chizu Omori * International Examiner *"Heartbreaking, candid. . . . Okubo recounts her experience with poignancy and a surprising amount of humor." -- Charlotte Ahlin * Bustle *

Franco
Book SynopsisLabiografíadefinitiva de Francoenuna brillanteedicióngráfica.En la biografía canónica de Francisco Franco, frente a la visión del dictador como figura providencial, Paul Preston presentó un retrato completísimo, riguroso y apasionante del hombre que durante casi cuarenta años rigió el destino de España.Franco muestra al militar ambicioso e implacable; al admirador de Hitler y de Mussolini; al dirigente político cada vez más pagado de su propio papel pero incapaz de comprender la complejidad del Estado y la economía modernos. Queda el hombre visceralmente conservador, tan cauto como insaciable, hábil en el manejo de las personas y de los contrapesos del poder.Un libro imprescindible, ahora en una brillante edición gráfica a cargo deJosé Pablo García (que ya trabajó con Preston en la adaptación de Lamuerte de Guernica y Laguerra civilespañola), para quien quiera comprender la historia reciente de España, así como a uno de los personajes centrales de la misma.Sobre La muerte de Guernica (versión gráfica):Lo suyo ha sido plasmar en dibujos los testimonios y crónicas del acto criminal.
