This title was first published in 2000: An examination of some of
the key themes and issues central to the understanding of the
contemporary political scene in the USA at the beginning of the
21st century. Bringing together the work of a number of academics
with expertise in the field, it focuses on the state of American
democracy and the working of the nation's governmental and
political institutions. The topics covered include: American
society and the politics of "Balkanisation"; party politics in
Congress since the Republican takeover of control; presidential
power and the experience of the Clinton presidency; the making of
foreign policy; the office of independent counsel after the Starr
report; the Rehnquist Supreme Court in a post-civil rights era; the
influence of the Christian right; the Republican Party policy
agenda; campaign finance reform; elections, voting behaviour and

Join everybody's favorite beer-swilling, chain-smoking,
kangaroo-worrying lunatic as she 'bumps' her way through another
utterly bizarre escapade. And this time she's pregnant...yes,
pregnant! How will our manic heroine cope with looming motherhood?
The threat of rampaging hormones, the spectre of varicose veins?
What will the baby look like, if it's Booga's? And what exactly
does this all have to do with the followers of the Blood God Baal?
Add to that the small matter of impending Armageddon (thanks to a
meteorite headed straight for Earth!) and it's no wonder this book
was once billed as the final slice of Tank Girl's lunatic
adventures.

Eternals), Cam Kennedy (Star Wars), and Carlos Ezquerra (Preacher),
this is Judge Dredd at his pulse-pounding best!

WRITERS ALAN GRANT & JOHN WAGNER ARTIST MIKE MCMAHON I pledged
allegiance to the flag of the United Sates of America, and to the
republic for which it stood, look where it got me. Over twenty
years have passed since a global war plunged the world into nuclear
armageddon. Placed in suspended animation by his superiors, U.S.
Army Captain, Ulysses Pilgrim, is woken by three military robot
aides. Now Pilgrim has one last mission: wade through a
post-holocaust U.S.A. and search for survivors. Written by John
Wagner and Alan Grant and featuring the unique art of Mick McMahon,
The Last American is a brilliant, yet terrifying look at the
reality and futility of nuclear war.
In 2150 a catasrophic war led to 70% of Britain's population being
wiped out. Strontium 90 fallout led to an increase of children
being born with strange mutations. Hated by average humans, the
mutants faced terrible oppression when politician, Nelson Kreelman,
introduced a series of anti-mutant laws enforced by a brutal police
force. In 2167 the mutants decided to fight back. Amongst their
ranks was a young boy with named Johnny Alpha with white blank eyes
and a mutant power that grants him a series of powers, including
the ability to see through many surfaces. Driven by personal
tragedy, Johnny has a very personal reason wanting to topple the
regime and bring Kreeler down. Co-written by Alan Grant (Batman)and
John Wagner (A History of Violence) and featuring the artwork of
Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd), this collection features the
explosive origin of Johnny Alpha in 'Portrait of a Mutant', a tale
widely considered to be the greatest Strontium Dog story of all.
When the citizens of Mega-City One's massive city blocks declare
war on each other, Judge Dredd realises it is merely a prologue to
an all-out nuclear attack by East Meg One! As warheads rain down,
Dredd leads a brave guerrilla resistance against the Sov forces,
building to an earth-shattering decision that shakes his world to
the core! This second wide-screen blockbuster volume in the
Essential Judge Dredd graphic novel series presents The Apocalypse
War, the mother of all 'epic' Dredd storylines, which forever fixed
the character in readers' minds and ensured Carlos Ezquerra's title
as the definitive Dredd artist in comics' hall of fame.
In this first original DC Universe novel for Aspect by noted comics
writer Alan Grant, SUPERMAN comes to the aid of MARTIAN MANHUNTER,
who is being stalked by the notorious bounty hunter called LOBO.
But even as the Man of Steel races to save his teammate from
imminent peril, an even greater threat is rising: a trap has been
set by an indestructible machine intelligence obsessed with hunting
down and experimenting on the sole survivors of the planets
Krypton, Mars, and Czarnia- Superman, Martian Manhunter, and Lobo.
Now the hunter and the hunted find themselves having to team up-
not only to save themselves, but the entire universe as well!
