A graphic novel by a lifelong motorcycle club member, inspired
by the secrets of one percenters.
Phil Cross has been a Hells Angel for over 40 years. In the
world of outlaw motorcycle clubs, there are many stories that can't
be told, for a variety of reasons, but they have spurred Phil's
imagination to create a fictional story inspired by real
events.
One-percenter antiheroes populate these pagesa tougher and
wilder than any character ever played by Dennis Hopper, Peter
Fonda, or Marlon Brando. The guys in the tales Phil spins might
remind you of Easy Rider and The Wild One, but the hard glint in
their eyes proves that they are based on the real deal.
Illustrator Ronn Sutton provides stunning visuals to bring
Phil's stories to life. These bikers aren't going to ride off into
the sunset any time soon."
Meditations is a compendium of ruminations and reflections by the
second-century Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, a staunch adherent to the

A nerd must fight powerful spirits and aliens all vying for the
secret power of his "family jewel," so who better to fight
alongside him than his high school crush and a spirit granny?! Momo
Ayase and Okarun are on opposite sides of the paranormal spectrum
regarding what they'll believe in and what they won't. Their quest
to prove each other wrong leads them down a path of secret crushes
and paranormal battles they'll have to participate in to believe!
Momo Ayase strikes up an unusual friendship with her school's UFO
fanatic, whom she nicknames "Okarun" because he has a name that is
not to be said aloud. While Momo believes in spirits, she thinks
aliens are nothing but nonsense. Her new friend, meanwhile, thinks
the exact opposite. To settle matters, the two set out to prove
each other wrong-Momo to a UFO hotspot and Okarun to a haunted
tunnel! What unfolds next is a beautiful story of young love...and
oddly horny aliens and spirits?
Thrilling and terrifying, Things We Lost in the Fire takes the
reader into a world of Argentine Gothic. A world of sharp-toothed
children and young girls racked by desire, where demons lurk
beneath the river and stolen skulls litter the pavements. A world
where the secrets half-buried under Argentina's terrible
dictatorship rise up to haunt the present day, and where women,
exhausted by a plague of violence, find that their only path out
lies in the flames...

Wilde's only novel, first published in 1890, is a brilliantly
designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its
exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and
consequence. From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader
to believe in 'art for art's sake', to its sensational conclusion,
the story self-consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an
element of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the
consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the
Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his
court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the 'note of doom'
which runs like 'a purple thread' through its carefully crafted
prose.
A remastered 2-in-1 edition of the all-time classic hit from one of
Japan's most beloved creators, available for the first time in a
format faithful to the original work. One day, teenage martial
artist Ranma Saotome went on a training mission with his father and
ended up taking a dive into some cursed springs at a legendary
training ground in China. Now, every time he's splashed with cold
water, he changes into a girl. His father, Genma, changes into a
panda! What's a half-guy, half-girl to do?
