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 first half of the Bacchus saga (including "Immortality Isn''t Forever," "The Gods of Business," "Doing the Islands with Bacchus," "The Eyeball Kid: One Man Show," and "Earth, Water, Air & Fire") with new notes and commentary by the author.

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.

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.

"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."
