This book features a series of short stories under the theme of
'the last' that are written and illustrated by the team of Rocco
Bosco and Darran Jordan. The last soldier faces a different kind of
war, the last bullet is fired in an attempt to save lives, the last
supper is served to a changeable beast and the last flower finally
blooms. These are experimental black and white comics that play
with the poetic to deliver their haunting tales.
An action-packed thriller and source of the hit Netflix drama where
the only way to survive is to play the game! Eighteen-year-old
Ryohei Arisu is sick of his life. School sucks, his love life is a
joke, and his future weighs on him like impending doom. As he
struggles to exist in a world that can't be bothered with him,
Ryohei feels like everything would be better if he were anywhere
else. When a strange fireworks show transports him and his friends
to a parallel world, Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true.
But this new world isn't an empty paradise, it's a vicious game.
And the only way to survive is to play. Life in Borderland can be
grim, but after completing two games Arisu feels like he might be
getting a handle on how his new world works. Chota and Shibuki's
visas are expiring soon, however, so the group doesn't have time to
be picky about their next match. And the arena they stumble upon is
a lesson in just how treacherous the rules in Borderland can be.

Japanese manga comic books have attracted a devoted global
following. In the popular press manga is said to have "invaded" and
"conquered" the United States, and its success is held up as a
quintessential example of the globalization of popular culture
challenging American hegemony in the twenty-first century. In Manga
in America - the first ever book-length study of the history,
structure, and practices of the American manga publishing industry
- Casey Brienza explodes this assumption. Drawing on extensive
field research and interviews with industry insiders about
licensing deals, processes of translation, adaptation, and
marketing, new digital publishing and distribution models, and
more, Brienza shows that the transnational production of culture is
an active, labor-intensive, and oft-contested process of
"domestication." Ultimately, Manga in America argues that the
domestication of manga reinforces the very same imbalances of
national power that might otherwise seem to have been transformed
by it and that the success of Japanese manga in the United States
actually serves to make manga everywhere more American.
Sometimes history seems like a laundry list of malevolent monarchs,
pompous presidents and dastardly dictators. But are they really the
ones in the driving seat? Sapiens: A Graphic History – The Masters of
History takes us on an immersive and hilarious ride through the human
past to discover the forces that change our world, bring us together,
and – just as often – tear us apart.
Grab a front-row seat to the greatest show on earth and explore the
rise of money, religion and empire. Join our fabulous host Heroda Tush,
as she wonders: which historical superhero will display the power to
make civilisations rise and fall? Will Mr Random prove that luck and
circumstance prevail? Will Lady Empire convince us of the irrefutable
shaping force of conquerors? Or will Clashwoman beat them all to
greatness by reminding us of the endless confrontations that seem to
forever plague our species?
In this next volume of the bestselling graphic series, Yuval Noah
Harari, David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave continue to present the
complicated story of humankind with wit, empathy and originality.
Alongside the unlikely cast of new characters, we are rejoined by the
familiar faces of Yuval, Zoe, Professor Saraswati, Bill and Cindy (now
Romans), Skyman and Captain Dollar. As they travel through time, space
and human drama in search of truth, it's impossible not to wonder: why
can’t we all just get along?
This third instalment in the Sapiens: A Graphic History series is an
engaging, insightful, and colourful retelling of the story of humankind
for curious minds of all ages, and can be browsed through on its own or
read in sequence with Volumes One and Two.
Who is the Ghost Who Walks... also known as the Phantom? Over four
hundred years ago, a cabin boy to Admiral Christopher Columbus grew
to become an explorer and a mighty sea captain... but unfortunately
met his end as he fell prey to pirates, leaving his son alone. As
the lone survivor of a pirate attack, the young man swore to devote
his life to the destruction of cruelty and injustice...as the
nemesis of pirates everywhere He was the first to take upon himself
the title of the Phantom His son and his son's sons-generation
after generation-succeeded him in the crusade. Their faces masked,
they were loners who lived lives of mystery and danger... moving in
and out of shadows... stalking... feared by evil-doers
everywhere... Thus generations of Phantoms lived, fought, and
died-usually violently-as they followed their oath. Jungle folk,
sea folk, and city folk believed him always to be the same man, and
so the legend grew-the legend of Kit Walker... the
Man-Who-Cannot-Die... the Ghost Who Walks... the Phantom Only the
pygmies knew that, always, a day would come when their great friend
would lie dying. Then, alone, a strong young son would carry his
father to the burial crypt of his ancestors where all the Phantoms
rested. As the pygmies waited outside, the young man would emerge
from the cave, wearing the mask, the costume and the skull ring of
the Phantom upon his strong hand; his carefree days as the
Phantom's son over. Then the pygmies would chant their age-old
chant, "The Phantom is dead. Long live the Phantom." This story of
"The Legend of the Phantom" is the story of the father of the first
Phantom and an adventure of the Phantom of our time as he discovers
his roots, heritage and the origin of his rings. To good people and
criminals alike, in the jungle, on the seven seas, and in the
cities of the world, he is known as the Phantom; the Ghost Who
Walks... the Man Who Cannot Die
