New Releases by Eddie Campbell

Jack ha vuelto. Y, esta vez, la sangre es roja. Cinco asesinatos sin resolver. Dos grandes maestros de la historia del cómic. Una conspiración intrincada, una metrópolis al borde del siglo XX y un destripador sangriento que sumerge a Londres en la era del horror contemporáneo. La exitosísima y premiada From Hell, citada a menudo como una de las mejores novelas gráficas de todos los tiempos, alcanza nuevas e inquietantes dimensiones en From Hell: Master Edition, realzada por los tonos impresionistas del propio Eddie Campbell. La experiencia de From Hell como nunca antes se había visto: ¡Totalmente restaurada y a pleno color por primera vez!

Una obra d''art fascinant de la novel·la negra de ficció històrica. From Hell presenta la història de Jack, l''Esbudellador, l''assassí en sèrie més infame de tots els temps. Alan Moore assenyala el Dr. Gull com el criminal i desenvolupa l''estudi psicològic més esfereïdor i absorbent que s''hagi pogut fer mai i, a més, veurem com s''agrupen totes les conspiracions i conxorxes en aquesta voràgine de terror.

Eddie Campbell is not himself. But these days, who is? It’s meta-fictional mystery and mischief as the award-winning artist of From Hell sets out to find his own imposter. Plus, on the flipside: a deluxe new presentation of The Fate of the Artist, Eddie Campbell’s classic work of graphic meta-memoir! SIDE A: The Second Fake Death of Eddie Campbell, by Eddie Campbell, is a spiritual sequel to his acclaimed graphic novel The Fate of the Artist, in which the author was missing from his own autobiography. Many years later, during an endless Covid lockdown in which everybody wears a mask and needs a haircut, Eddie’s wife is certain that he has been supplanted by an imposter. She hires a detective, the square-jawed Royler Boom, to solve the mystery. What follows — interspersed with Campbell’s trademark wry anecdotes, dreams, parodic pastiches, and pandemic peccadilloes — is a thrilling investigation that builds to a car chase and a violent conclusion. The author cunningly passes this off as another piece of autobiography. SIDE B: The Fate of the Artist: In an autobiography, the author and the subject are the same person… but now they’ve both gone missing. The Fate of the Artist is a complex weaving of different strains of invention including a mock prose detective story, an imaginary Sunday comic strip, a mock fumetti-style interview with the author''s daughter, intertwined with Campbell''s beloved brand of autobiographical comic storytelling. In this deluxe reissue of a groundbreaking book, the award-winning cartoonist of From Hell and Alec presents a complex, caustic, and fiendishly clever meditation on the lonely life of the artist and the busy life that swirls around him.

Alan Moore, a mente responsável pelos clássicos dos quadrinhos Watchmen, V de Vingança e Monstro do Pântano, é mais que o maior nome inglês a trabalhar nos quadrinhos dos Estados Unidos. Em 18 de novembro de 1993, no seu aniversário de quarenta anos, ele anunciou a familiares e amigos que se tornaria um mago. Essa decisão resultou numa série de performances místicas que unem contracultura, música, poesia, pintura, psicogeografia, iluminação individual e crítica à sociedade. Apresentadas uma única vez, com o próprio Moore à frente das performances e com acompanhamento musical inédito, duas delas chamaram a atenção de Eddie Campbell, com quem Moore trabalhou mais de dez anos no clássico Do Inferno. Palavras, Magias e Serpentes, obra que a DarkSide® Books traz pela primeira vez ao Brasil, reúne a quadrinização dessas performances – “A Membrana Fetal” e “Serpentes & Escadas” –, adaptadas por Eddie Campbell a partir do texto de Moore. Além delas, o volume apresenta ao público brasileiro uma longa e detalhada entrevista em que Moore e Campbell conversam sobre o percurso de Moore pela magia, sua relação com o Deus Serpente, suas performances mágicas, misticismo e imaginação e, claro, histórias em quadrinhos. Completam a edição um posfácio sobre o conceito de Magia defendido por Moore, escrito pelo professor e escritor Enéias Tavares, que assina a tradução ao lado de Andrio Santos, e um caderno de esboços de Campbell que revelam os bastidores do seu processo criativo para uma poderosa sequência de “Serpentes & Escadas”. As duas obras entrecruzam um componente biográfico raro na obra de Moore com ousadia poética e gráfica, aproximando em sua trama ciência, história e magia de uma forma que apenas Alan Moore seria capaz de imaginar. Por sua vez, a arte de Campbell varia entre o fotográfico e o alusivo de forma a não apenas registrar a dimensão visual das respectivas performances como também a convidar o leitor a empreender suas próprias jornadas – biográficas, geográficas ou místicas. Palavras, Magias e Serpentes é um registro poético e visual da mente de Alan Moore e do talento narrativo e gráfico de Eddie Campbell, resultando num volume que aproxima magia e arte, imaginação e intelecto, passado e presente, geografia, psicologia e filosofia. Em resumo, uma obra que convida leitores e leitoras a explorar os caminhos da mente em busca de arte, sentido e sacralidade, elementos que podem ser encontrados nas casas de nossas ruas, nas praças de nossos bairros, nos livros que dispomos diante dos nossos olhos ou nas memórias que encerramos dentro de nossos mágicos espaços mentais.

A rip-roaring and exhaustively researched new take on the origin of the comic strip by one of the leading cartoon storytellers of our time. With more than 500 period cartoons, The Goat Getters illustrates how comics were developed by such luminaries as Rube Goldberg, Tad Dorgan, and George Herriman in the sports and lurid crime pages of the daily newspaper. This wild bunch of West Coast-based cartoonists established the dynamic anatomy and bold, tough style that continue to influence comics today, as well as their own goofy slang that enriched the popular lexicon. The Goat Getters also captures early twentieth century-history through the lens of the newspaper comics: the landmark 1910 boxing match in Reno, Nevada between Jim Jeffries, the "Great White Hope," and Jack Johnson, the first African-American heavyweight champion; the nationwide race riots that followed; the San Francisco graft trials that culminated in the shooting of the Federal Prosecutor; and the trial of Harry Thaw for the murder of architect Stanford White, a crime of passion that centered on Thaw''s wife, show-girl Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw--all were venerated or vilified by Nell Brinkley, Jimmy Swinnerton, and their fellow directors of the ink and newsprint stage.

Internationally bestselling author Audrey Niffenegger and her husband, graphic artist Eddie Campbell, collaborate on this quirky, irreverent collection that celebrates and satirises love of all kinds. With thirteen different vignettes about love, loss, fairies, misbehaviour, regret, wanton wrongheadedness, cats, supernatural exterminators, spies, ghosts, more cats, more fairies, and a handful of ex-boyfriends, Bizarre Romance runs the gamut when it comes to relationships. It explores the good, the bad, the ugly and the just plain weird - with Niffenegger''s sharp, imaginative prose and Campbell''s diverse comic styles, always with a sense of humour and cosmic justice.

It started in the early 1960s in a Glasgow school, moved to a secret makeshift bedroom in a factory and ended with a stolen van on a London street in 1968. But between those events lay hundreds of concerts, gang warfare, fan hysteria including a riot involving 7000 people, work with David Bowie - and a single that was a hit but went unrecognised. This is the story of The Beatstalkers - Scotland''s number one beat group. Dave Lennox, Alan Mair, Ronnie Smith, Eddie Campbell and Jeff Allen were national heroes by their teenage years. They lived and played through Glasgow''s No Mean City era and gathered the bruises to show for it. They pioneered an approach to music that set them on the road to fame and fortune. MARTIN KIELTY is author of 17 books, with three in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Permanent Collection. He''s a magazine journalist, TV and radio presenter, former band manager and drummer.

Gathered into one amazing package for the first time ever: the complete collection of Eddie Campbell's sprawling, award-winning masterworks Alec and Bacchus See why Booklist calls his work "a high-water mark in the graphic novel's short history... no one else in the medium combines emotional truth, literary intelligence, and formal daring with such adroitness and elegance." This massive OMNIBOX collects three profound and delightful books -- ALEC: The Years Have Pants (A Life-Sized Omnibus) and both volumes of Bacchus (Omnibus Edition) -- in one beautiful slipcase, celebrating decades of work from one of comics' greatest literary talents.

Eddie Campbell’s Bacchus is a true epic, spanning a decade of work, over a thousand pages, and several millennia of alcohol consumption. In Bacchus, the visionary behind From Hell (with Alan Moore) and ALEC: The Years Have Pants presents his version of "an American-style comic book," filtered through his own brilliant, whimsical, and wide-ranging sensibility. With a fine blend of action, comedy, suspense, and an ear for a great story, Bacchus brings the gods and myths of ancient Greece to modern life, as if they had never left. Nearly 600 pages, this deluxe volume collects the second half of the Bacchus saga with new notes and commentary by the author.

Will Eisner—best known for his influential comic book series The Spirit and his groundbreaking graphic novel A Contract with God—believed in the teaching power of comics, and from 1951 to 1971 he produced PS magazine for the U.S. Army. This Preventive Maintenance Monthly (called PS because it was a postscript to the standard technical manuals) was aimed at teaching American soldiers everything about weapons safety for vehicles, aircraft, firearms, and electronics. Eisner illustrated these vital lessons in drawings, pinups, step-by-step guides, and comic strips. This collection contains the best of Eisner’s 227 issues of PS, reproduced in a portable digest format. This relatively unknown work by Eisner is finally explored—the missing link between his comic books and his later, more mature graphic novel style. Praise for PS Magazine: "For the first time, Will Eisner’s superlative work for the U.S. Army has been assembled into a single collection. The result shows the artist’s keen understanding of the educative power of graphic storytelling. From 1951 to 1971, between The Spirit and A Contract with God, Eisner produced PS Magazine for the army in order to teach the common soldier how best to use, maintain, repair, and requisition their equipment. From explaining how to load a truck correctly to why it won’t start, Eisner used a combination of humor, sound technical writing, and graphic storytelling to educate the soldiers. His magazines could be found at the front lines, in the officer’s mess, and in the quarters of senior military officials. It featured a cast of recurring characters like the loveable Joe Dope and the voluptuous Connie Rodd, who headlined featured segments like “Joe’s Dope Sheet” and the provocatively named “Connie Rodd’s Briefs.” With Eisner’s wonderful artwork and clarity of style making sometimes difficult concepts easy to understand, it’s no wonder PS Magazine was so popular with military personnel. A fascinating document for both fans of Eisner and military history buffs." - Publishers Weekly starred review “These amusing yet pragmatic sketches provide a ‘missing-link’ comics document for fans and demonstrate the same mastery of his craft that marked Eisner’s better-known works.” —Booklist “An instructional model for today’s producers of nonu00adfiction comics, which too often lack such visual traction, this also has appeal for military buffs, vehicle junkies, and Eisner fans.” —Library Journal “The enthusiast who’s been nurturing a curiosity about Eisner’s lost years will find all he needs to know from this beautifully produced little volume.” —The Comics Journal "Eisner understood comics'' potential for education decades before his peers, and PS magazine was his first laboratory. This thoughtful new collection is an essential addition to the Eisner library." -Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics

Award-winning graphic novelist Eddie Campbell (Alec, From Hell) presents a fascinating journey into the wilderness of personal finance. With his trademark blend of research, anecdote, autobiography and fantasy, he explores how money underwrites human relationships, flowing all around us like the air we breathe - or the water we drown in. The result is a whimsical graphic essay, deeply grounded in his personal experience with the lovely horrible stuff.

"Le dramaturge passe une grande partie de ses journées à penser à l''amour et au sexe. Ambiance de nicotine et de thé aux algues, son scénario de 1985 récompensé par un prix, était basé sur les réflexions que lui avaient inspirées ses occasions manquées. Le dramaturge ne laisse jamais un bon matériau se perdre."

"This book is a hilarious romp of true life (unfortunately). Read it and prepare for your next date."—James Van Praagh, New York Times bestselling author, Talking to Heaven "Every story is the truth and every truthful moment is a hilarious journey! It''s as if you''re listening to your best friend at a coffee shop and watching a stand—up take command of the stage. You won''t be disappointed as you travel this refreshingly funny road of ''horrible dates!''"—Debra Wilson, actress/comedian, MADtv "Eddie''s book is an emotional catharsis for anyone who has ever come home from one horrible date and wondered, What the hell was that? This book is laugh–out–loud hilarious and extremely well written."—Chad Allen, writer, producer, actor, activist What I have to tell you in this book will seem almost unreal. But you are going to have to keep reminding yourself that these are actual real dates. For everyone who can empathize and knows what it''s like to be on at lease one crappy date, this book is for you. For everyone who wants that dinner back or sat through a boring, horrible movie only to determine that the person you were with was a complete and utter tsunami, this book is for you. For everyone else, buckle your seat belt and turn off your phone, because a massive car wreck is about to begin.

Money makes the world go round, as they say. And around. And around. Eddie Campbell is an award-winning graphic novelist (Alec, From Hell) whose work defies categorization. His latest book is a dizzying autobiographical investigation into MONEY. It''s a voyage that takes him all the way from the imaginary wealth of Ponzi schemes to the real hard stuff on an obscure South Sea tropical island where he investigates the history of the stone money. This is no dry and dusty treatise on finance; any complexities are pleasingly reduced to the level of bubblegum trading cards. In here you will hear about the corporation that Campbell keeps under his bed; you will meet colorful historical characters and be taken on dangerous shark-infested sea adventures; and after that, we will all plunge to the depths to retrieve our loose change. Campbell''s wry eye and vivid full-color artwork imbue the proceedings with real humanity, making The Lovely Horrible Stuff an investment that''s worth every penny.
