@neilhimself @DarkHorseComics More about King Arthur, what the story means, what's going on under the surface, what those cute little pictures mean. @neilhimself 's CHIVALRY is the kind of book that can be enjoyed on many levels but the more you know, the more fun it is.      fuente
Monsters book cover
Monsters
Barry Windsor-Smith - 2021-04-27
Calificación de Goodreads
"Monsters" is a stunning graphic novel that delves into themes of trauma, fate, conscience, and redemption. Set in 1964, it follows the story of Bobby Bailey, a damaged and innocent young man who is unwittingly recruited into a secret U.S. government experimental program. As the titular monsters multiply, becoming real and metaphorical, the story reaches its emotional and moral reckoning. This is an ambitious and intense work, with breathtaking visuals and a narrative that spans generations of American history. It is surely one of the most sophisticated and powerful graphic novels ever drawn.

A shocking and revelatory history of Stalin's devastating policy of agricultural collectivization, which led to one of the deadliest famines in European history. At least five million people died between 1931 and 1933 in the USSR, with more than three million of those deaths deliberately inflicted on Ukrainians. Anne Applebaum's Red Famine documents the horror of ordinary people struggling to survive extraordinary evil and shows how it may foreshadow a new threat to the political order in the twenty-first century.

My cover art for Tanith Lee's THE SILVER METAL LOVER , adapted into a graphic novel by Trina Robbins. The original novel was my favorite book for many years, and it was probably the first major science fiction romance novel. Tanith died in 2015.      fuente
