In this story Erekose assumes the role of "Clen of Clen-Gar," a noble of the land called the "Dream Marches", part of a greater land called "Heaven". He befriends a peaceful race of beings known as "Angels", who can best be described in one of their forms as flying manatees. In the day-time, they gracefully float through Heaven, absorbing water vapour from the air, and by night they release the stored water as acid rain upon a neighboring land coincidentally called "Hell", whose savage inhabitants live in poverty compared to the luxury of Heaven and the Dream Marches. The angels can also assume an insectoid form similar to human sized ant-men.Trade Review"The latest addition to the simply outstanding 'Michael Moorcock Library graphic novel series form Titan Comics, "Erekose - The Swords of Heaven, The Flowers of Hell" is another extraordinary fantasy action/adventure adapted by Howard Chaykin from the novels of a consummate master of the sword & sorcery fantasy genre and featuring Chaykin's exquisite artwork.

Book SynopsisWhat is feminism? Why are we still talking about it, and what can it tell us about ourselves, our societies and prejudices? In this unique, illustrated introduction, we'll explore the early history of conscious struggle against sexist oppression, through the modern "waves" of feminism, up to present-day conversations about MeToo, intersectional feminism, and women's rights in the Middle East. We'll look at critical theory, popular action and the social and cultural forces that affect attitudes toward gender, women's lives and the struggle for equality. And we'll hear about the contributions of pioneers like Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir and Kimberlé Crenshaw. As we'll see, feminism is at once global, local and individual. Written by Cathia Jenainati with illustrations from Judy Groves and Jem Milton, Feminism: A Graphic Guide engages with the heated debates taking place in our homes, workplaces and public spaces -- and the work still to be done.

Book SynopsisBased on the TV show created by Patrick McGoohan, this all-new adventure written by Peter Milligan sees Breen, codenamed No. 6, trapped in a seemingly bizarre parallel world, unlike anything he has ever experienced before. There he must race to rescue his fellow spy before he loses his very grip on reality. But to save the day, Breen must also confront the arch controller of The Village, a person known only as Number One... The Prisoner: The Uncertainty Machine sees a return to the world of The Village - the seminal 1967 TV spy show, written, created and starring the star of the show PATRICK MCGOOHAN. The show followed the exploits of McGoohan's ex spy character, who after resigning is abducted by The Village and interrogated to discover the real reason behind his resignation. Each week The Village would try to trick the information out of him. Set in Portmerion, The mock Italian costal village location became as much a star of the show as McGoohan and helped to cement the show's reputation as one of the classic cult TV shows of all times. The Uncertainty Machine sees a modern day spy called Breen tasked with breaking into The Village in order to extricate a fellow spy who has been 'lifted' by The Village. The information she possesses is too valuable to fall into the hands of whoever it is that controls The Village. In order to rescue her, Breen must engineer his own defection and go rogue thereby becoming a person of interest to powers at work behind The Village. However nothing can prepare Breen for the bizarreness that awaits him inside the Village.Trade Review"As wicked, wild, and weird as the original The Prisoner TV show." - The AV Club "Peter Milligan and Colin Lorimer's The Prisoner is a worthy successor to the ground-breaking and mindbending television show. 4 out of 5!" - Comic Book "Feels like something from David Lynch's Twin Peaks." - Multiversity Comics "Dynamically bizzare script...fast-paced action." - Newsarama The lead is interesting, the plot and conflict are compelling, and the art is rock solid.

Book SynopsisLegends of Today brings together the first three volumes that Enki Bilal has created in collaboration with the scriptwriter Pierre Christin: The Cruise of Forgotten (1975), The Stone Vessel (1976) and The City That Did Not Exist (1977). Antagonised by an enigmatic character with supernatural powers, which serves as a theme for the trilogy, the three stories delve into the lives of various traditional communities (a village of the Landes, a Breton fishing port, a small working-class town in the North) as they fight against the police, the army, and all those in power, whose action, at the time, was very controversial. An endearing panorama of the generous utopias of the time, nourished by modern fantasy and a certain humor that still preserves freshness today.Trade Review“A deep and thought-provoking example of using the comic medium to explore the philosophy of everyday life and what it means to control your own destiny” - Comical Opinions“The larger size really makes Bilal’s work sing and allows us to appreciate the detail of his work.

Book SynopsisWhat is forgiveness? What enables people to forgive? Why do we even choose to forgive those who have harmed us? What can the latest psychological research tell us about the nature of forgiveness, its benefits and risks?This imaginative comic explores the key aspects of forgiveness, asking what it means to forgive and to be forgiven. Witty and intelligent, it answers questions about the health benefits and restorative potential of forgiveness and explains, in easy-to-understand terms, what happens in our brains, bodies and communities when we choose to forgive.Trade ReviewThis book on forgiveness won't bully you, but it will make you think. And it might just change your life for ever. I loved it. -- Richard Holloway, author, broadcaster and former Bishop of EdinburghI strongly believe in the power of forgiveness to transform lives and this beautiful book opens up the subject in a creative, imaginative and highly original way. -- Francesca Martinez, comedian, writer and activistIf the last thing you would ever want to do is to forgive those who hurt you most, then read this book. -- Lemn Sissay, author and broadcasterJust open the first page of Forgiveness is Really Strange. You will be drawn instantly into all the knotty issues of this vital subject, in a totally magnetic way. How? Because a psychologist from Keele University and the person who pioneered the Forgiveness Project got together with a brilliant graphic artist, so there are very few words. What you get is an unsentimental, evidence-based approach to a subject that can otherwise seem wishy-washy at times. Very complex and challenging ideas are conveyed through amazing life examples and simple, powerful illustrations. Give it to everyone you know, and the world will be happier place. -- Dr Scilla Elworthy, founder of the Oxford Research Group and Peace DirectSocial psychology cannot be closed in the ivory tower. It must be directly related to life of lay people and transferred for them. The book by Masi Noor and Marina Cantacuzino fulfils exactly this need. Forgiveness is an important part of human repertoire and its description and analysis should be brought close to people. The book, through fantastic artistic drawings as well as comprehensive, smart, relevant, and meaningful text, provides a unique example of how to carry this mission. This way brings social psychological knowledge to many thousands of individuals who can think and reflect about human behaviour of forgiveness. -- Daniel Bar-Tal, Professor Emeritus, School of Education, Tel Aviv University, Israel and Founder of SISO: Save Israel. Stop the OccupationForgiveness is an important topic that raises many issues for the resolution of interpersonal and societal conflicts; it is to the credit of the authors that they engage with these issues in such an approachable way in this admirably succinct volume which will appeal to a wide audience. -- Miles Hewstone, Professor of Social Psychology and Public Policy, University of OxfordThis beautiful graphic book is so important to communicate the F word: forgiveness. Forgiveness is so powerful because it makes our society and ourselves more moral. It can break the cycle of revenge and re-humanize perpetrators of violence, and enable them to change. Forgiveness can enable perpetrators to discover empathy for their victims and can bring about truth and reconciliation. The list of powerful results of forgiveness is long, and for the first time is communicated in an engaging artistic way by one of my favourite charities with Dr Masi Noor. This book will become a moral guide to readers, including young people, on how to make the world a better place. -- Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, University of Cambridge and author of Zero Degrees of EmpathyIf the killer of my daughter were to ask for my forgiveness, I'd forgive because forgiveness is a kind of revenge. When you forgive, you sleep more peacefully because you have no enemy to hate. You are free. This amazing book shows how to overcome your pain, it deals with humanity's most moral values. Read this book and spread the message to make our world more peaceful. -- Bassam Aramin, Co founder of 'Combatants for Peace' and The Forgiveness Project storytellerTo hurt and hurt others is to be human. How, then, does one recover and make amends? Noor, Cantacuzino, and Standing attempt to unravel this quandary in a charming graphic exploration of wrongdoing, redress, and recovery. Through illustrated testimonials, biographical examples, and excerpts of psychological research, they explore the limits and potential of forgiveness, its application at the individual and societal levels, and its biological effects upon the giver and receiver. Though Noor, Cantacuzino, and Standing endorse forgiveness as healthy and useful, they acknowledge its complicated aspects, such as the threat of insincerity and its potential use as a weapon. Standing's sunny colors embody optimism and anger as nimbly as her rough-edged lines capture frown lines and finely braided hair. The title is part of a series, including Anxiety Is Really Strange and Trauma Is Really Strange, which uses simple illustrations to unpack inherently complex concepts. This meditative ode on grace has lasting resonance, and it's packaged in a beautiful, small-format volume that feels like a gift. -- Publishers WeeklyTable of ContentsForgiveness is Really Strange.
