Reality, Graphic NovelsPages War's End: Profiles from Bosnia 1995-1996 HC How does an artist reconcile being forced to go to the front line of a brutal conflict that will change his life and homeland forever? What happens when a reporter finally comes face to face with an evil war criminal? Before his groundbreaking graphic novels Safe Area Gorazde and The Fixer , Palestine author Joe Sacco created two short stories of the characters from each side of the crossfire. Collected together for the first time in War's End: Profiles from Bosnia 1995-1996 are the acclaimed Soba and Christmas with Karadzic . In Soba , Joe Sacco captures the internal torment of the romanticized Sarajevo artist-warrior who captivated the western media with his guitar and hard partying ways. In Christmas with Karadzic , Sacco gives the reader an inside peek of the darkly humorous news process that doesn t make the headlines back home as he chases after one of the most hated and sought-after Bosnian Serb leaders and war criminals.

Plot: The Secret Story Of The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion TPB The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a book written one hundred years ago.

King, A Comics Biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. TPB This groundbreaking body of comics journalism collects for the first time Anderson's entire biography of the renowned civil rights leader, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Over a decade in the making, the saga has been praised for its vivid recreation of one of the most tumultuous periods in U.S. history and for its accuracy in depicting the personal and public lives of King, from his birth to his assassination.

SC, 7x10, 136pg, b&w King TPB Vol. 2 "We have come to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to make real the promises of Democracy." King is the story of the man who uttered those words and was at the forefront of changing the face of American Society.
