This book is nothing less than a compendium covering 65 years of
comic book history. It contains biographical data and a summary of
every single Green Lantern story from Alan Scott's first appearance
in 1940 through to Hal Jordan's Rebirth in 2005. Written by Darran
Jordan, author of Green Lantern History, this guide to the Green
Lantern series is a must have for all collectors. Whether to check
for gaps in your own collection or simply to catch up on what has
gone before, this unauthorized compendium is the perfect way for
fans to brush up on the chronology of the emerald gladiator.
Tender, nostalgic, romantic, funny, absurd, magically real,
speculative, ironic, nightmarish, entertaining and elegantly
rendered...these stories span a century of Man's consciousness.
Once, a man might be a Gatsby chasing his girl half-way around the
world, the captain of a football World Cup winning side, a raging
Picasso bull in a mythical maze refusing to yield lover or art till
his last mortality-defiant egotistic gasp. Straightforward enough
choices, dreams, behaviour. Suddenly he is man interrupted,
underwhelmed, overworked, ridiculed, young, rock-solid or
unreliable family man, father, husband, friend; his freedom
evaporates: he's globe-trotting inbox-fatigued nonsense-hearing
corporate, military civil-serving quiet ministry of Everyman. He's
so exasperated he might just run away and prop up a bar, or
contemplate mild treachery just to get by, and he's put-upon, as he
zigzags across #TimesUp, political correctness, game theory, oh...
and... the women in his life. Now here he stands staring down the
barrel of the 21st Century - he's superman, he's transhuman, he's
disassembling, he's nearly done for ...or is he?
In DUNE: The Graphic Novel, Book 2: Muad'Dib, the second of three
volumes adapting Frank Herbert's Dune, young Paul Atreides and his
mother, the lady Jessica, find themselves stranded in the deep
desert of Arrakis. Betrayed by one of their own and destroyed by
their greatest enemy, Paul and Jessica must find the mysterious
Fremen, or perish. This faithful adaptation of the 1965 novel,
Dune, by Brian Herbert, son of Frank Herbert, and New York Times
bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson, continues to explore Paul's
journey as he evolves from boy to mysterious messiah. Illustrated
by Raul Allen and Patricia Martin, this spectacular blend of
adventure and spirituality, environmentalism, and politics is a
groundbreaking look into our universe and is transformed by the
graphic novel format into a powerful, fantastical tale for a new
generation of readers.

The twins, John and Paul, Hegarty, supposedly named after the
Pope's visit, but actually after the Beatles, are what is termed
'immature students', that is, having gone to college after being
sacked off every bad job there was. In the course of their studies,
they feel they can take on the world, and when they land their
first job on an archaeological site, under the auspices of
Archaeological Research and Sites Excavation Ltd (or ARSE Ltd for
short), they are in their element. Even if it is in a backwater
called Baile B'stard. They quickly learn that the practice of
archaeology is nothing like what they studied at college. The site
they are working on is a circular feature called, temporarily, a
'thingfort', with bets being placed as to its true age afoot. They
encounter a dystopian mix of disinterested supervisors, interested
locals, megalomaniac site assistants, a porn star moonlighting as a
finds person, and getting one's rocks off behind the filling
station, all under the auspices of menacing giant cow who
terrorises anyone that comes in her way. At least they wouldn't be
bored...

med student who started it all...Ito. From the creator of Ichi the
