Bloody Mary
An elegant, intimate graphic novel retelling of Mary “the Bloody” Tudor’s infamous life and evolution from loyal subject to royal tyrant.The story of Mary Tudor –– oldest child and daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, sister to the famous Elizabeth I –– as never told before. A chronological telling of Mary’s life as “told” by her spans her magnificent life, starting from her “first memory” at the age of two to becoming the first queen to inherit the throne of an England in disarray. Once rejected at birth, Mary was certain the cause of suffering was her subjects’ rejection of the one true faith: Catholicism. Her zealous campaign to re-Catholicize England was unrelenting in its brutality, re-christening her, “Mary, the Bloody.” The Tudors famously used fine art to define their reign. Using expressive line work and lush watercolor, German graphic novelist fittingly teases the painterly allure of royalty as she reveals the stark loneliness of the crown. Gehrmann pulls from real quotes from historical documents and letters along with dramatizations of known historic events. These details immerse us in Mary I’s epic life from her volatile childhood to her tragic demise, rendering a stunning portrait of a “bastard queen” losing her grip on power.
The Avengers in the Veracity Trap!
What happens when Earth’s Mightiest Heroes learn who—and what—they truly are? Writer Chip Kidd and artist Michael Cho have created a mind-bending, visually sumptuous saga that takes the Avengers—and you, the reader—to places that challenge everything we thought we knew about super heroes and the very nature of heroism . . . villainy . . . and existence. It starts with an epic battle in Asgard, as Loki, the god of mischief, comes into possession of a weapon of unimaginable power and assembles an army of otherworldly monsters in an effort to carry out his evil plans. Cue the Avengers—Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Giant-Man, and the Wasp—who meet this horrifying throng of beasts head-on as a thrilling, knock-down drag-out fight ensues. But when the smoke clears, what appears to be a typically raucous comic book take-down is revealed to be something very, very different—and very, very terrifying. And this discovery threatens to destroy the Avengers in a way that Loki or any other foe never has before. Because this time the enemy is . . . the Truth. Oh, and did we mention that it’s absolutely hilarious? Welcome to The Veracity Trap, a truly profound, thought-provoking conundrum of a comic, where no one—not even the Avengers—can escape!

From Above
Thrilling, funny, fresh, and surprising, From Above is a one-of-a-kind graphic novel that is impossible to put down. As the Washington Post noted: “Panchaud’s diagrammatic style, informed by his dyslexia, is conceptually fresh;" This innovative, award-winning graphic novel uses the visual language of infographics to tell the story of Simon—an average teenager whose brush with a fortune teller sends him on a surreal adventure.From Above is an internationally acclaimed, groundbreaking graphic novel that tells its story from a bird’s-eye view. Characters are depicted as colored circles in a graphic and strikingly designed visual approach reminiscent of Chris Ware's. Readers are encouraged to actively engage with the story as its relatively simple setup unfolds into a shocking and surreal adventure. Simon is an unpopular and awkward 14-year-old boy. Overweight, eager to please, and well-meaning, no matter how hard he tries, his lot in life is to be bullied by the neighborhood children and neglected by his absentminded parents. But one day everything changes for Simon when he does a favor for a fortune teller who rewards him by telling him the name of the winning horse at the Royal Ascot. Simon becomes an overnight millionaire when he bets his father’s life savings on the winning horse. But as he returns home, he discovers that his mother is in a coma and his father has disappeared. Simon can’t collect his winnings without finding his father, and he can’t help his mother until he solves the mystery of her sudden condition. With time running out, can Simon change his fortune?
Az utolsó gyufaszál
Abigaëlle több mint húsz éve visszavonult egy burgundiai kolostorba, ahol tökéletes magányban telnek a napjai. Múltjáról csak szórványos, homályos emlékei vannak, még azt az eseményt sem tudja felidézni, amely megváltoztatta a sorsát, és arra kényszerítette, hogy kivonuljon a világból, hogy odahagyja az otthonát, ahol a családjával élt.
A bátyja kéthetente meglátogatja őt, ő pedig a távolból követi Gabriel életét, aki felnőve sikeres és népszerű íróvá vált. Elérkezik azonban a nap, amikor Gabrielt egy véletlen összesodorja a csodálatos Zoéval. Hiába indul gyönyörűen ez a történet, Abigaëlle mégis fél, mert ő az egyetlen, aki tudja, hogy miféle démonokkal küzd a bátyja, hogy miféle pokol volt a gyermekkoruk a kiszámíthatatlan és veszélyes apjuk mellett, aki folyamatosan bántalmazta menekülni képtelen édesanyjukat, és rettegésben tartotta őket.
Marie Vareille felkavaróan izgalmas, az utolsó oldalig megdöbbentő fordulatokban gazdag regénye egy mély empátiával megírt pokoljárás története. A felnőttek és a gyermekek testét-lelkét egyaránt romboló, kiutat nagyon nehezen kínáló családon belüli erőszak azon ritka irodalmi ábrázolásai közé tartozik ez a mű, amelyek minden szakmai, lélektani hitelességük ellenére is fordulatos és lebilincselő olvasmányt jelentenek, és a puszta borzongatáson, az olcsó együttérzésen túl is komoly tanulsággal szolgálnak, elgondolkodtatják az olvasót.
