Cult favorite Emily the Strange brings her unique brand of dark, dry wit to comics! Emily has often been a lone voice of sanity in a completely wacky and confusing world, but this time, she seeks and finds the true nature of solitude. With or without her posse of clever black cats, strange spirits, and hip and unexpected guest stars, Emily''s got what it takes to truly go it alone.

Dark, brooding, but never boring, Emily the Strange pokes fun at impostors, illusions, and just plain phonies in the _fake_ issue! With her posse of black cats, sharp-but-silly wit, and unique brand of genuine nonchalance, Emily gets into strange and spooky situations while dressing up, getting down, and being real. (But is it really Emily, after all?) This black-and-white comic is a treat for Emily enthusiasts, from die-hard fans to perfect strangers.

Emily has a joke for you: What''s deliciously satisfying and best served cold? _ Revenge! Our poor, unsuspecting readers will be subjected to an education in the fine art of revenge from the mini queen of mischief, Emily. But for now she''d prefer to be referred to as "Her Royal Revengenator," okay? Anyway, this issue also contains the third chapter in the ongoing serial "Dead Cat Walking," an all-new guest artist, and lots and lots of vicious, vengeful revenge.

L''Emily estudia la història de la família Strange, i descobreix que les seves besties, també anomenades "tietes de la foscor", tenien totes un talent especial. Però n''hi ha una que li crida molt l''atenció, la bestia Lily, perquè va morir de febre blanca als tretze anys tot i que tenia el poder de curar les persones i els animals de qualsevol malaltia. Molt intrigada, l''Emily decideix investigar què va passar. Així doncs, gràcies a la Màquina del Temps Mort, fa un viatge en el temps i es presenta a l''any 1790, a la ciutat on viu la bestia Lily. Allà farà descobriments sorprenents, intentarà canviar la història de la seva família, trobarà parents que no coneixia, i entendrà qui és ella realment. I s''haurà d''esprémer el cervell per poder tornar al present!

Todo el mundo sabe que una de las pasiones de Emily the Strange es construir máquinas y artefactos de los más variado. En esta ocasión ha inventado una máquina para trasladarse en el tiempo y en el espacio. Piensa en darse un paseo por el Nueva York punk de los años 70 o ver los dinosaurios, pero un problema familiar la obligará a viajar a una época bien distinta. Así, Emily llega hasta finales del siglo XVIII. Y el problema no es que se tope con un mundo que no es el suyo, sino que se quedará atrapada en él...

Emily est frappée d''une vilaine amnésie et ne se rappelle même plus son prénom. Chassée par les policiers de la décharge de Blackrock, elle trouve refuge dans le café El Donjon tenu par Raven, une fille du zinc on ne peut plus bizarre... Là-bas, elle fait la connaissance de joueurs de Calamity poker (qui peut comprendre les règles de ce jeu ?), de passage en ville, qui semblent lui cacher des choses. Le monde se serait-il détraqué à son réveil ? Dans ce journal, elle rassemble tous les indices qui pourraient la mener à sa véritable identité. Pour l''instant, la seule chose qu''elle sait c''est qu''elle aime le noir et les chats.

Emily ha resuelto sus misterios y ahora disfruta de una nueva existencia, con su madre y sus gatos. Inquieta y traviesa como es, la niña no hace nada más que idear nuevas jugarretas con las que divertirse... hasta que estas dejan de tener gracia. ¿Conseguirá Emily deshacer el enredo que ha provocado en esta ocasión? Un entretenido libro que demuestra lo necesarias que son la paciencia y la amistad.

Té 13 anys. Pot saltar per damunt d''edificis molt alts; bé, segurament podria fer-ho si s''ho proposés. Però prefereix fer migdiades amb els seus quatre gats negres, o muntar un accelerador de partícules fet de gasa, llenties i agulles imperdibles, o tocar la bateria o la guitarra o el saxo o la cítara, o fer murals de clons de clavegueres clivellades i amb claus, o, molt més divertit, obligar algú a dir «clons de clavegueres clivellades i amb claus» tretze cops, cada vegada més de pressa... i assenyalar-lo amb el dit i riure-se''n.

13 Elements you will find in the first Emily the Strange novel: 1. Mystery 2. A beautiful golem 3. Souped-up slingshots 4. Four black cats 5. Amnesia 6. Calamity Poker 7. Angry ponies 8. A shady truant officer 9. Top-13 lists 10. A sandstorm generator 11. DoppelgÄngers 12. A secret mission 13. Earwigs Emily the Strange: 13 years old. Able to leap tall buildings, probably, if she felt like it. More likely to be napping with her four black cats; or cobbling together a particle accelerator out of lint, lentils, and safety pins; or rocking out on drums/ guitar/saxophone/zither; or painting a swirling feral sewer mural; or forcing someone to say "swirling feral sewer mural" 13 times fast . . . and pointing and laughing.

Emily es un poco extraña, se acaba de despertar en mitad de un parque abandonado y no sabe ni su nombre. Únicamente tiene un tirachinas, un bolígrafo y una libreta de notas que, quizás, contenga alguna pista sobre ella. ¿Cómo habrá llegado hasta allí? Una historia para disfrutar desde las primeras páginas.

Emily the Strange has lost her memory and finds herself in the town of Blackrock with nothing more than her diary, her slingshot, and the clothes on her back.
