In The Land Of Retinal Deligh
Since 1994, Juxtapoz Magazine, published in San Francisco, has provided a forum for so called Lo-Brow art-work inspired by comics, hot rods, and popular culture --and has become, in the years since, the most widely read art magazine in the United States. Juxtapoz provides a voice and validation for a brand of artist, like founder Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Coop, Camille Rose Garcia, Glen Barr, the Clayton Brothers, Isabel Samaras, Joe Coleman, and many, many others, who have not historically been accepted by the typical art-world infrastructure of collector, curator, and critic. However, since its founding, it has become the leverage point for the creation of its own infrastructure that supports Juxtapozian art with galleries around the world, collectors, increasing critical attention, and museum exhibitions at adventurous institutions. This exciting and provocative collection presents a group of artists who rejected traditional rules of the art establishment and created their own canon, known as the Juxtapoz School. Published in conjunction with the Laguna Art Museum for the 2008 exhibition In the Land of Retinal Delights.

The Nation of Plants
As plants see it, humans are not the masters of the Earth but only one of its most unpleasant and irksome residents. They have been on the planet for only about 300,000 years ago (nothing compared to the three billon years of plant evolution), yet have changed the conditions of the planet so drastically as to make it a dangerous place for their own survival. It's time for the plants to offer advice. In this playful, philosophical manifesto, Stefano Mancuso, expert on plant intelligence, presents a new constitution on which to build our future as beings respectful of the Earth and its inhabitants. These eight articles - the fundamental pillars on which plant life is based - must henceforth regulate all living beings.

The Wide World of Graffiti
A guide to the art, artists, and culture of graffiti from the 1970s to today, as told by the taggers themselves
This major co-publication with the Museum of Graffiti chronicles the worldwide graffiti movement from its birth in the 1970s, through the street and train painting of the 1980s, to its emergence as an artistic genre admired in museums and sold at auction. With hundreds of never-before-seen photographs of graffiti art from the 1970s to today, many of which have been provided exclusively for this volume by the artists themselves, the book gives an insider’s view through multiple interviews with celebrated graffiti artists, including Roger Smith of Sane Smith, Hotboy Hert, DESA, Shirt King Phade, RIME, MadC, Saber, AURA, and others.
Told through essays, hundreds of images, and interviews with the artists – both the underground outlaws and the writers who went mainstream – The Wide World of Graffiti will become the standard-bearer of the art form’s history and life today, a unique contribution from the first and only museum dedicated to graffiti as an art form.

Pink Floyd - Behind The Wall
A Pink Floyd, ahogy korábban még soha nem láthattuk!
A rocktörténet közel fél évszázadát felölelő Pink Floyd: Behind the Wall bemutatja a világ legnépszerűbb pszichedelikus együttesének drámai és izgalmas történetét. A Pink Floyd első átfogó, illusztrált krónikájában tanúi lehetünk a korai cambridge-i szárnypróbálgatásaiknak, átélhetjük, ahogy Syd Barrett dalszövegeket ír, ahogy elkészül a Dark Side of the Moon stúdióanyaga, de annak is, ahogy összekülönböznek egymással a zenekar tagjai.
Fedezzük fel a dalok mögött rejlő titkokat, ismerjük meg a legendás fényshow-k és színpadi technika fejlődését, a metsző vitákat és még sok érdekes kulisszatitkot. A teljes diszkográfia mellett a könyvben több mint 200 képet találunk Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Rick Wright és Nick Mason fellépéseiről, közöttük ritka koncertfotókat, de a koncerttermeken kívüli életük őszinte dokumentumait is. A Pink Floyd: Behind the Wall betekintést enged az olvasónak az egyik valaha is színpadra lépő legforradalmibb együttes titkokkal teli életébe.

War On Drugs, The - I Don’t Live Here Anymore CD
KDO: Americká indie rocková formace The War On Drugs vznikla v roce 2005 ve Philadelphii. Vůdčí osobností souboru je kytarista a zpěvák Adam Granduciel. Zakládajícím členem skupiny byl i Kurt Vile, jenž však krátce po vydání debutu Wagonwheel Blues v roce 2008 kapelu opustil, aby se věnoval sólové kariéře. Popularita The War On Drugs hlavně mezi internetovou komunitou a hippstery s každou novou deskou rostla. Celosvětový věhlas skupině přineslo třetí album Lost In The Dream (2014), na kterém se Granduciel coby hlavní skladatel vypsal ze svých depresí a pocitů osamění.
CO: Páté album americké indie rockové formace. Vychází ve formátech CD a 2LP, přičemž si lze pořídit vinyl černý, červený nebo modrý.

The Witcher: A feloldozás útja
Ríviai Geraltot egy boszorkányégetésen találjuk, amint a rémisztő látvány mellett egy titokzatos belső hanggal és a rémképeivel viaskodik. A baljós jelenés őt vádolja a boszorkány megölésével, és kételyeket ébreszt benne, vajon helyesen cselekedett-e. Amikor egy földesúr kéri a vaják segítségét eltűnt lánya felkutatásához, akit állítólag boszorkányok vittek el, Geralt ráébred, ez nem pusztán a lány megmentéséről szól...
A The Witcher, mely Andrzej Sapkowski Vaják c. fantasy-könyvsorozatából született, 2015-ben a közönség és a kritikusok által is leginkább elismert videójáték volt. Képregényünkben, bár a játék alapján készült, attól és a Vaják-könyvektől független, teljesen új történetet ismerhetnek meg az olvasók.
Ez a képregénygyűjtemény a Dark Horse Comics The Witcher: Witch's Lament c. sorozatának mind a 4 számát tartalmazza, Vanesa Del Rey rajzaival és Bartosz Sztybor szövegével. A fordítást Kolozsvári Zsófia készítette.
