Some pigs are born great, other pigs have greatness thrust upon
them. BATPIG follows the amazing, porktastic adventures of Gary
Yorkshire - an entirely normal piglet whose world is turned upside
down when he's bitten by his friend, Brooklyn the bat, and develops
the power of flight! And what could Gary do with this newfound
talent other than become a superhero? Alternating between Batpig's
origin story and a furious and hilarious battle with his nemesis,
Repto-Man, this is a brilliantly funny and skilfully rendered
commercial young graphic novel series, with each book containing
two separate stories. Perfect for fans of Dav Pilkey and John
Patrick Green.
With great porker comes great responsibility. Gary Yorkshire is
finally getting into the swing of this whole superhero thing -
saving the world from terrible villains, masterfully concealing his
identity with a very small mask. But what happens when Batpig is
called to battle time itself in a maths class that just won't end?
Or when the city is attacked by something completely (and
literally) out of this world? It's not easy being a super-swine,
but with the help of his best friends Brook the bat and Carl the
fish, there's no hamburglar they can't catch. A brilliantly funny

He's yellow - but he sure ain't mellow! Everyone's favourite
antisocial prankster, Bart Simpson, returns in another collection
of hilarious, brain-bending adventures! There's something funny
going on in the cornfields, and Bart is to blame; Bart and Milhouse
get creative in "The Simpson Project"; inventions ahoy in "Bart's
Invisible"; and our hero goes on a quest for the ultimate glossary
of comic book sound effects sure to end with a KABOOM.
Do Irish superheroes actually sound Irish? Why are Gary Larson's
Far Side cartoons funny? How do political cartoonists in India,
Turkey, and the US get their point across? What is the impact of
English on comics written in other languages? These questions and
many more are answered in this volume, which brings together the
two fields of comics research and linguistics to produce
groundbreaking scholarship. With an international cast of
contributors, the book offers novel insights into the role of
language in comics, graphic novels, and single-panel cartoons,
analyzing the intersections between the visual and the verbal.
Contributions examine the relationship between cognitive
linguistics and visual elements as well as interrogate the
controversial claim about the status of comics as a language. The
book argues that comics tell us a great deal about the
sociocultural realities of language, exploring what code switching,
language contact, dialect, and linguistic variation can tell us
about identity - from the imagined and stereotyped to the political
and real.
One morning, young Ruby sets out to visit her grandma's house. She
