And in this volume's third arc, Graves pulls a young man by the name of Loop Hughes into his web of intrigue and deception. Armed with one of Graves's briefcases, Loop tracks down his long-lost father and is soon drawn into the world of mob enforcement.

Крэйг Томпсон 4.3
«Одеяла» – это автобиографический роман, в котором языком комикса Крейг Томпсон рассказывает о страданиях и сомнениях, сопровождающих взросление. События этих откровенных мемуаров разыгрываются на фоне зимних пейзажей Среднего Запада США и показывают провинциальную жизнь в семье христиан, где строгость воспитания пропорциональна строгости веры. «Одеяла» – это выразительный портрет уязвимого подросткового возраста: одиночество и растерянность, первая любовь и разбитое сердце, кризис веры и поиск себя. Живой рисунок Томпсона и его необыкновенные графические композиции делают эту историю узнаваемой и понятной читателям разных поколений в любом конце света.

В 2014 году книга Крейга Томпсона получила награды всех престижных американских премий в области комиксов: «Одеяла» – дважды победитель премии Уилла Айснера, трижды – премии Харви Курцмана и дважды – премии Игнаца.

Osamu Tezuka 5.0

Buddha, vols. 1 and 2, by Osamu Tezuka (Vertical)

Osamu Tezuka’s vaunted storytelling genius, consummate skill at visual expression, and warm humanity blossom fully in his eight-volume epic of Siddhartha’s life and times. Tezuka evidences his profound grasp of the subject by contextualizing the Buddha’s ideas; the emphasis is on movement, action, emotion, and conflict as the prince Siddhartha runs away from home, travels across India, and questions Hindu practices such as ascetic self-mutilation and caste oppression. Rather than recommend resignation and impassivity, Tezuka’s Buddha predicates enlightenment upon recognizing the interconnectedness of life, having compassion for the suffering, and ordering one’s life sensibly. Philosophical segments are threaded into interpersonal situations with ground-breaking visual dynamism by an artist who makes sure never to lose his readers’ attention.

Tezuka himself was a humanist rather than a Buddhist, and his magnum opus is not an attempt at propaganda. Hermann Hesse’s novel or Bertolucci’s film is comparable in this regard; in fact, Tezuka’s approach is slightly irreverent in that it incorporates something that Western commentators often eschew, namely, humor.

Чип Кидд, Алекс Росс 0.0
Mythology returns, in a newly expanded paperback edition of the book Entertainment Weekly awarded a grade of A, saying: "Alex Ross brings to his work an unparalleled sense of the real. His heroes - both super and mortal - have weight; they exist in space, and that space is affected by them in ways never before seen on the page". And so here they are, the incomparable cast of the DC Comics universe: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, the Green Lantern, and the rest of the Justice League as you've never seen them before. Mythology brings together the best loved comic characters in the world, brought to life by Alex Ross, one of the most astonishing young artists working in the medium today. The award-winning designer/writer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear have teamed up to create a book like no other, with an introduction by M.Night Shyamalan, the acclaimed director of The Village and The Sixth Sense.
Ross has often been called the Norman Rockwell of comics, and this book reveals not only his lifelong love of these classic superheroes but also his vision: Mythology takes you into the studio for a behind-the-scenes look at his fascinating creative process. The combination of Ross's dynamic art and Kidd's kinetic design makes images from his most memorable stories - including Kingdom Come, Superman: Peace on Earth, Batman: War on Crime, and Uncle Sam - soar off the more than 300 pages.
The new material centers on Ross's startling new comic book series, Justice, including sketches, preliminary art, prototype figures, and more. Mythology is a book in which every page explodes with the power of the icons it celebrates.

The Art of Hellboy softcover is a lower-priced, paperback version of the stunning limited edition hardcover Dark Horse released in the Spring of 2003. Featuring art never seen before the publication of the hardcover, unused and unfinishedcovers, and drawing upon ten years of sketchbooks, The Art of Hellboy provides the ultimate inside look at Mignola's design, storytelling, and color work. Page after page of rarely seen art reveals the labor involved in creating one of comics' most acclaimed books.
