Price: $17.99
Pub Date: August 13, 2019
Format: Hardcover
Discover and cheer the accomplishments of more than seventy amazing women from all over the world and throughout history.
They’re activists and explorers, scientists and writers and more. And they’re all women: Cleopatra, Boudicca, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, Florence Nightingale, Marie Curie, Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo, Anne Frank, Wangari Maathai, Mae C. Jemison, Cathy Freeman, and Malala Yousafzai, to name just a few. Marcia Williams, through her lively comic-strip style and a clever combination of facts, quotes, and jokes, invites readers to peruse these extraordinary women’s stories, learn about their noteworthy achievements, be inspired to greatness . . . and be thoroughly entertained.
Comics Confidential
Thirteen Graphic Novelists Talk Story, Craft, and Life Outside the Box
Price: $24.99
Pub Date: September 27, 2016
Format: Hardcover
A must-have collection for comics fans and creators everywhere, packed with interviews and original comics by today’s foremost graphic novelists.
Respected anthologist Leonard S. Marcus turns his literary microscope to the world of comics, which has lately morphed and matured at a furious pace. Powerful influences from manga to the movies to underground comix have influenced the thirteen artists and writers interviewed in these pages to create their own word-and-picture narratives. Here are their moving, funny, inspirational stories: true tales from the crucible of creative struggles that led each to become a master of one of today’s most vibrant art forms. The book also contains an original graphic short on the common theme of “the city" from each of the artists, a mini-comic set in a cityscape of their choosing—present-day, historical, or imaginary.
Featuring interviews with:
Harry Bliss
Catia Chien
Geoffrey Hayes
Kazu Kibuishi
Hope Larson
Danica Novgorodoff
