On the Ropes: A Novel
In this long-awaited sequel to the legendary graphic novel Kings in Disguise, a young circus hand gets involved in dangerous underground activity. Kings in Disguise was praised by the likes of Art Spiegelman, Neil Gaiman, and Alan Moore. It won two Eisner Awards and has been hailed as one of the ten best graphic novels of all time (Guardian). This highly anticipated sequel tells the story of a young man’s coming of age in a world where the capacity to dream may be a fatal flaw. Set in 1937, On the Ropes continues the story of Fred Bloch, now apprenticed to escape artist Gordon Corey, a star attraction in a traveling WPA circus. Though damaged by the Depression and haunted by past mistakes, each man holds the key to the other’s salvation—but each also harbors a secret that could lead to their mutual destruction. Enacted against a backdrop of violent labor unrest and a nation’s faltering recovery, On the Ropes is a breathtaking visual achievement that delivers a powerful, timeless story.

In the midst of a rural land-rights struggle, Iris Shaw is a federal conservation officer who is murdered in a bombing by a rag-tag band of right-wing activists. Little do her killers know that Iris wasn''t their only victim, and now, with the help of the Crow, Iris must exact vengeance for her own death, and that of her unborn baby. Raised from her grave and armed with cold-blooded hatred and a few deadly weapons, Iris hunts down her killers one by one. But if exacting ultimate pain is the goal, when does vengeance cross the line to brutality? And what is the price of the soul?

Economix
Let op: dit e-book heeft een fixed layout en is het beste te lezen op tablets of op e-readers met tabletfunctionaliteit. Iedereen heeft het altijd maar over de economie. Maar hoe kunnen wij, het volk, begrijpen wat de beurshandelaren, de overheden en de banken weten (of zeggen te weten)? Lees Economix, een stripverhaal over economie! Het boek vertelt het volledige verhaal van de economie; van de opkomst van het Westerse economische denken tot aan de Occupy Wall Street-beweging. Met veel gevoel voor humor en in heldere bewoordingen vertelt auteur Michael Goodwin hoe we door de eeuwen heen over de economie dachten en hoe de geschiedenis zich verhoudt tot de economische realiteit van alledag. Gecombineerd met illustraties van Dan Burr maakt Economix van de economie een toegankelijk en leuk verhaal vol bijzondere feiten en boeiende personages.
