CEREBUS TP #5

JAKAS STORY REMASTERED ED

(W) Dave Sim (A) Dave Sim (CA) Dave Sim

A-V is proud to present, at long last, Jaka's Story, the Remastered Edition, fully-restored page-by-page from the original art boards. To celebrate this event, this edition will be signed-and-numbered by writer/cartoonist Dave Sim (limited to the amount of copies of the initial Diamond order). Jaka's Story, the fifth volume of the Cerebus series, represents a point of departure for the series, focusing as it does on a small cast of characters, living out their lives in orbital, Thoreau-like "quiet desperation", drawn ever inward, until at last, they inevitably collide. This new edition, painstakingly restored and p RINted on acid-free paper with a durable sewn binding, reveals astounding detail never before present outside of the original art itself. This volume also includes eight brand-new pages of extras, including a 6,000-word essay by restorer and critic Sean Michael Robinson, discussing the background and "secret origins" of the book, providing historical context for a whole new generation of readers.

COLOR OF RAGE TP #1

(W) Koike Kazuo (A) Seisaku Kano (CA) Seisaku Kano

Two slaves free themselves from a slave ship, one a Japanese man, the other an African American. After escaping they find themselves on the shore of Edo-era Japan, a society with a strong chaste system, isolated from the world. How will the Japanese people perceive this giant black man, how will they survive? But first things first, how will they get these shackles off their feet? Fans of Kazuo Koike know how he loves to turn out a sensational samurai-era yarn with a certain sense of chauvinist violence and pulpy sexiness, and Color of Rage is by no means a slacker in these categories. Drafted by pinup artist and mangaka Seisaku Kano, Color of Rage features plenty of action, fighting, blood, sexiness, and more fighting. •  Each issue comes sh RINk-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory. From Lone Wolf and Cub creator Kazuo Koike!

CORTO MALTESE GN TANGO

(W) Hugo Pratt (A) Hugo Pratt (CA) Hugo Pratt

In 1923 Buenos Aires, while searching for a missing friend, Corto finds himself locked in a dangerous, yet elegant, game of cat and mouse. Before long, his investigation b RINgs him up against an organized crime syndicate known as the "Warsavia" and their underworld network.   Just as Fable of Venice was Pratt's homage to his hometown, Tango is a nod to Buenos Aires, where the cartoonist lived du RINg his earliest creative successes in the late 1940s and 1950s. The atmosphere of the story is steeped in the sensual music of the tango, whose melodies almost seem to emerge from the artwork, with close-ups of the dance steps framed by Pratt with extraordinary effectiveness. The first English-language translation of Hugo Pratt's graphic novel set in Argentina.

Libra Kelly is a simmer with an axe to g RINd, doing jobs that cause trouble for the corporations free of charge, but soon finds herself stuck with a terminally diseased I.D. and a price on her head!
