Fifty-five years ago, Ray Bradbury, one of America's greatest writers, envisioned one of the world's most unforgettable dystopian futures. Thinking is dangerous; trust only the state; turn in your neighbors; and, most important, burn all books. Artist Tim Hamilton, with Bradbury, has turned this modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. The world of Guy Montag, a career fireman for whom kerosene has become perfume, has been translated by Hamilton into unforgettable full-color art that uniquely captures Montag's awakening to the evil of government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of philosophy, theology, and literature. Fully depicting the brilliance and force of Bradbury's canonic and beloved masterwork, "Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" "is an exceptional, haunting work of graphic literature. …More

Every city has secrets. But none as terrible as this.

Her partner Michael Maddison would back her up all the way to Hell itself-and that just may be where this case ends up. For the no-nonsense O'Connor is suddenly talking about an ages-old conspiracy, a near immortal race of beings, and killers that are more-and less-than human.

A graphic novel based on the bestselling Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher!

If circumstances surrounding a crime defy the ordinary and evidence points to a suspect who is anything but human, the men and women of the Chicago Police Department call in the one guy who can handle bizarre and often brutal phenomena. Harry Dresden is a wizard who knows firsthand that the everyday world is actually full of strange and magical things--most of which don't play well with humans.

Now the cops have turned to Dresden to investigate a horrifying double murder that was committed with black magic. Never one to turn down a paycheck, Dresden also takes on another case--to find a missing husband who has quite likely been dabbling in sorcery.

-- Features all four Ring Operas, including Das Rhinegold, Die Walkuere, Siegfried, and Gotterdammerung

The Ring of the Nibelung, now in graphic novel form, is sure to satisfy the "action-packed" expectations of its readers. Wagner's four-opera cycle celebrating the legends of Nordic and Teutonic myth offers an abundance of heroes, heroines, dragons, gnomes, swords, sorcery, and romance; in short, the very essence on which popular superhero comics are based.

Appealing to opera lovers in general, Wagner fans in particular, and graphic novel fans everywhere, this fully illustrated edition reproduces all four operas -virtually word for word, scene for scene -- in the proper viewing sequence. When Alberich the Nibelung renounces the power of love, he is thus able to steal the magical horde of Rhinegold and produce from it a Ring of irresistible power. Unless the gold is returned to the river Rhine, the gods themselves are doomed to fall. Wotan, king of the gods, knows that only a mortal hero not bound by the laws of the gods can wrest the gold from the dragon who possesses it. Enter Siegfried, the hero-dragon slayer whose quest for both the Ring and Rhinegold lead him to these riches and a love destined to decide the fate of the gods.

Drawing on the considerable talents of artists and writers from DC Comics, this full-color adaptation enlivens the spirit of the ancient tale with a contemporary but faithful rendering of Wagner's epic masterpiece. …More
