DC Comics DC The New Frontier
Book SynopsisWelcome to the DC Universe in 1950s America — a land of promise and paranoia, of glittering cities and segregated slums, of dizzying scientific progress and simmering Cold War conflict. A land without the Justice League—Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Or so it seems. The masked mystery men who fought for freedom in the Second World War have been outlawed. The soldiers and spies who conducted top-secret missions into the unknown now work in the shadows. And those icons who do still fight on — Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman — operate under hidden agendas and dueling ideologies. Yet this America needs its heroes more than ever. With darkness gathering on the horizon once more, only a bold new generation of adventurers — young, daring, and dedicated to the better angels of our nature — is equal to the challenge of the New Frontier. From Eisner Award–winning writer-artist Darwyn Cooke and Eisner AwardTrade Review"Composed from equal parts affection and ambition, Darwyn Cooke's DC: The New Frontier looks back to the Silver Age of DC comic-book heroes, finding in them all the elements needed for a commentary on post-war America. Using a classic style, Cooke creates a classic of his own." -- A.V. Club/The Onion "Mr. Cooke's drawings are striking, and his plot makes good use of DC's diverse characters." -- The New York Times "You need to drop what you're doing and go read New Frontier. Now." -- IGN "Cooke has stirringly laid out a promising new path for the superhero genre." --Publishers Weekly

Vintage Publishing Burma Chronicles
Book SynopsisGuy Delisle''s newest travelogue revolves around a year spent in Burma (also known as Myanmar) with his wife and son. Burma is notorious for its use of concealment and isolation as social control: where scissor-wielding censors monitor the papers, the de facto leader of the opposition has been under decade-long house arrest, insurgent-controlled regions are effectively cut off from the world, and rumour is the most reliable source of current information.An impressive and moving work of comics journalism from the author of Pyongyang and Shenzen.Trade ReviewIt’s insightful and is able to carry the weight of Burma’s troublesome history, enabling the reader to learn about the real lives of Burmese people, through a mix of current affairs and, surprisingly considering the subject, humour. -- Emma Henderson * Independent *Simply put, Burma Chronicles is the most enlightening and insightful book on Burma in years... If you must visit Burma while it remains under the rule of the iniquitous junta, do so with the express intention of bearing witness to the tragedy and suffering of its people. Better still, stay away, and visit it instead through the pages of this heartbreaking, educational and insightful comic masterpiece * Guardian *As a counterpoint to the often inaccessible news stories about the country, this is an excellent portrait of a little-understood land, and makes for a deeply original and fascinating piece of travel writing * Daily Telegraph *Hilarious and touching * Dazed *This book is more fun than most holidays and more enlightening than a hundred blogs by self-appointed experience censors * Time Out *

In 1986, Frank Miller introduced his iconic take on Batman and changed the face of comics forever. Now, three decades after Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Miller himself has returned with a third chapter to his groundbreaking saga. It’s been three years since the Batman defeated Lex Luthor and saved the world from tyranny. Three years since anyone has seen Gotham City’s guardian alive. Wonder Woman, Queen of the Amazons… Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern… Superman, the Man of Steel… all of the Dark Knight’s allies have retreated from the front lines of the war against injustice. But now a new war is beginning. An army of unimaginable power led by Superman’s own daughter is preparing to claim Earth as their new world. The only force that can stop this master race—BatmanTrade Review"Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and other heroes are back on the page showcasing Miller's distinctive flavor." —USA Today "Frank Millers's return to the Dark Knight universe is not only an all-star collaboration, but also the rare comic-book "event" that lives up to its own hype." —Washington Post "Penciller Andy Kubert and inker Klaus Janson remain as on-point as ever." —New York Daily News "Engaging.... a smart, gripping read." —PopMatters "It's hard to resist a comic that features the talents of Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, Brian Azzarello, and Andy Kubert. Alone, any one of these guys could sell a comic. With their powers combined? It's insane. Enjoy the ride, because Dark Knight III: The Master Race is pretty damn good." —Nerdist "Recapturing much of the original's unique visual flavor." —IGN "The main story is all-but-perfect." —Comic Book Resources
