Radical and revolutionary, Rebellion is proud to present Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta) and Ian Gibson’s (Star Wars: Boba Fett Adventures) ground-breaking feminist space opera and science fiction classic in a full colour omnibus for the first time. A cultural icon and a high mark for British science fiction, this timeless tale of one woman’s endurance amidst a sea of dead-end and deadly jobs remains one of Alan Moore’s most beloved sagas. Restored and lovingly coloured by Barbara Nosenzo, and featuring a new introduction and bonus content, The Ballad of Halo Jones remains essential reading.Trade Review"One of the first great comics... up there with Watchmen, V For Vendetta, Dark Knight... The things that we talk about when we talk about comics, Halo Jones should have been one of them." - Neil Gaiman."The story of an ordinary woman, not a superhero or special snowflake, but a woman who made her own story... a character that represented the everywoman...The Ballad of Halo Jones broke the mould... remarkably timeless" - The Independent"Groundbreaking feminist heroine... one of the comic industry's strongest role models" -The Guardian"Exponentially cooler than knock-offs like Tank Girl, mostly because she remains a fed-up real person amid the wild space opera of her universe" - Empire"Halo Jones was my first love. Or maybe my first role model. The girl that got out." - Lauren Beukes"Still ahead of the pack... it remains a work of powerful emotional impact" - Multiversity Comics"Radical and progressive" - Women Write About Comics"War, romance, hope and feminism... relatable and arresting" - Doom Rocket"Alan Moore's greatest comic book creation... a superb character study, an especially important book for teenage girls to read. In a world of increasing insecurity, not only politically but personally (body image, place in society, material wealth, sense of self), Halo Jones offers a critique of, and a refuge from, the absurdities of an uncertain world." - Tribe "Revolutionary" - Mookychick

Humanoids, Inc Storyboarding for Wim Wenders: Visions of Wenders
Book SynopsisThe firsthand account of a storyboard artist and his intimate experience with acclaimed filmmaker Wim Wenders. With this book, Stéphane Lemardelé traverses uncharted territory, linking the sequential art form with the often overlooked medium of a storyboarder—the two intrinsically tied but the former seen as an end in and of itself, and the latter a means to someone else's end. In this case, that "someone else" is legendary, cult-classic filmmaker Wim Wenders (Paris Texas, Wings of Desire), and the "end" is his 2015 film Everything Will Be Fine (starring Rachel McAdams and Charlotte Gainsbourg). Through this graphic novel, Stéphane captures not only the formation of this film, but moments of artistic reflection from Wim himself: intimate interactions between the two where Wim ponders the trajectory of his career and evolution as an artist, and the meaning of film as a tool with which to examine our own humanity. A collector's item intended for fans of cinema and memoir, featuring actual storyboards from the production. Translated by the award-winning Nanette McGuinness.

Vintage Publishing Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands: One of Barack
Book Synopsis*WINNER OF THE EISNER AWARDS FOR BEST MEMOIR AND BEST WRITER/ARTIST*'A vast and complex tapestry that captures the humanity of people... it shimmers with grace'ALISON BECHDEL, author of FUN HOMEBefore there was Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling cartoonist of Hark A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beatons, a tight-knit seaside community. After university, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta's oil rush, part of the long tradition of East Coast Canadians who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can't find it in the homeland they love so much. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, what the journey will actually cost Katie will be far more than she anticipates.Arriving in Fort McMurray, Katie finds work in the lucrative camps owned and operated by the world's largest oil companies. As one of the few women among thousands of men, the culture shock is palpable. It does not hit home until she moves to a spartan, isolated worksite for higher pay. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet never discussed. For young Katie, her wounds may never heal.Beaton's natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, Northern Lights, and Rocky Mountains. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.Trade ReviewWhat a difficult, gorgeous and abidingly humane book. It really does deserve to win all the prizes. * Observer *A magnificent piece of work.... Ducks feels like a book that holds its own alongside the likes of both Guy Delisle (for the travelogue-y aspects of the book) and Joe Sacco (for the more political aspects of the book) whilst, crucially, carving out something of its very own... One of (if not the) standout graphic novels of 2022. * Bookmunch *Beaton delivers a masterpiece graphic memoir * Publisher's Weekly (Starred Review) *A masterpiece, a heartbreak, a nightlight shining in the dark. -- Patricia Lockwood, author of No One Is Talking About ThisDevastating. Despite the brutal toll Beaton suffered personally, she has woven from her experience a vast and complex tapestry that captures the humanity of people doing a kind of "dirty work" in which we are all complicit, and it shimmers with grace. -- Alison Bechdel, author of Fun Home
