Product Description
One of Russell¹s best noted achievements, his adaptation of tales from Kipling¹s ³Jungle Book² are at long last available in one gorgeous full color trade paperback with flaps. Includes ³The King¹s Ankus², ³Red Dog² and ³The Spring Running².Amazon.com Review
P. Craig Russell is well on his way to being the premiere emissary of classic literary gems to the world of comics. His Arabian Nights collaboration with Neil Gaiman in The Sandman #50, comics versions of Mozart’s Magic Flute, and his continuing adaptations of Oscar Wilde’s fairy tales all stand as tribute to his incredible graphic and narrative sensibilities. His treatment of the last three chapters of Kipling’s Jungle Book (“The King’s Ankus,” “Red Dog,” and “The Spring Running”) will inspire both Kipling enthusiasts and lovers of fine illustration. Russell’s composition is incredible: he has the ability to make harmony in a single page while each panel sings its melody. This collection also features enhanced colors, either reshot or reseparated, and the results are a treat.

Product Description

Lydia and Julie, BFFs since birth, are now preparing to enter junior high, and they’re on a mission to become well loved. First, but, they have to determine exactly how popularity is achieved, so they choose to approach the matter as any excellent scientist would: observe persons creatures already at the height of popularity and apply said observations to themselves, in the hopes of cracking into that mysterious world of junior-high stardom. The two record their observations and the regularly spectacularly unsuccessful outcomes of their various social experiments in a scrapbook-like journal, perfect with notes passed at school, lists of projected popularity goals, and credibly goofy and kidlike drawings. The tale here is honestly familiar: the girls fail miserably at their first attempts at the A-list (Lydia’s hair falls out after a botched dye job, among additional disasters) but eventually find acceptance in the upper echelon, only to learn the valuable lesson that it’s the people you’re most comfortable around who make the best friends. The diary format, but, adds an extra dimension of amusing, and as in Jeff Kinney’s Wimpy Kid series about Greg Heffley, it allows Julie and Lydia to come alive through their witty dialogue, their perceptive commentary, and even their characteristic handwriting. Secondary characters shine as well, particularly Julie’s embarrassing but ultimately charming two dads, along with Lydia’s goth-punk sister, a font of random quips and junior high wisdom. The well loved kids end up being far from perfect and each has issues of her own to contend with, building the actual friendships that form among the girls all the more endearing. Persons waiting for the next installment of Greg Heffley’s adventures will be well served by this amusing conduct experiment in sixth-grade celebrity. KQG

A Scanner Darkly

Where to buy A Scanner Darkly books online?

Product Description
A haunting graphic version of one of Philip K. Dick’s most well loved and best-selling novels.

Bob Arctor is a dealer of the lethally addictive drug Substance D, which he also takes in massive quantities. Fred is the police agent assigned to tail and eventually bust him. What Fred doesn’t know is that Substance D gradually splits the user’s brain into two distinct, combative entities, and that he is, in fact, in frantic pursuit of himself.

A Scanner Darkly is caustically amusing and razor sharp in its depiction of drug-induced paranoia and madness; it’s an manufacturing-might stress test of identity as unnerving as it is riveting. The novel is captured in this brilliant graphic vision, composed entirely of stills from the movie.

Writer/Director Richard Linklater shot a live-action film, starring Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, and Winona Ryder, and then animated over the underlying images. The result is an eerily lifelike, richly detailed animation that translates perfectly to the page.Amazon.com Review
Mind- and reality-bending drugs factor again and again in Philip K. Dick’s hugely influential SF tales. A Scanner Darkly cuts closest to the bone, drawing on Dick’s own experience with illicit chemicals and on his many friends who died from drug abuse. Nevertheless, it’s blackly farcical, full of comic-surreal conversations between people whose synapses are partly fried, sudden flights of paranoid logic, and terrible trips like the one whose victim spends a subjective eternity having all his sins read to him, in shifts, by compound-eyed aliens. (It takes 11,000 years of this to reach the time when as a boy he learned masturbation.) The antihero Bob Arctor is forced by his double life into warring double personalities: as futuristic narcotics agent “Fred,” face blurred by a high-tech scrambler, he must spy on and capture suspected drug dealer Bob Arctor. His disintegration under the influence of the insidious Substance D is genuine tragicomedy. For Arctor there’s no way off the addict’s downward escalator, but what awaits at the bottom is a kind of redemption–there are more wheels within wheels than we suspected, and his life is not entirely wasted. –David Langford, Amazon.co.uk
