ENCHANTED HISTORY OF FANTASY ILLUSTRATION HC

(W) Jesse Kowalski (A) Various

For hundreds of years artists have been inspired by the imagi NAtive potential of fantasy. Unlike science fiction, which is based on fact, fantasy presents an impossible reality - a universe where dragons breathe fire, angels battle demons, and magicians weave spells.  Written by leading historians of the field, Enchanted traces the development of fantasy art from Old Masters through Golden Age illustrators to classic cover artists. More than 150 key works-including paintings, prints, drawings, and digital art-are illustrated in vibrant color, many at full-page size.

ERB THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT TP #1

(W) Mike Wolfer (A) Giancarlo Carracuzo (CA) Mike Wolfer

One hundred years ago, ship-builder Bowen Tyler, a handful of British allies, and the crew of the German U-33 submarine were lost at sea, drifting near the Antarctic Circle. What they discovered was something that defied time, and all of known science: the island of Caspak! Hidden inside impreg NAble rock walls lay a prehistoric world, filled with terrifying creatures, man-eaters from every era of time, and races of savage, murderous primitives from each rung of the evolutio NAry ladder. Somehow, the island was never again found, and the stories of the survivors of Caspak were considered fantasy. Today, an expedition has been launched by Tyler's great-great-great-granddaughter Abby, a quest to find concrete evidence of Bowen Tyler's adventure. But what she and her research team will uncover is something far deadlier and more shocking than they could ever have imagined, as the modern day explorers find themselves thrust into The Land That Time Forgot! This graphic novel includes The Land That Time Forgot #1-#3 and The Land That Time Forgot Annual Savage See-ta.

Now the home life of confident writer Masamune Izumi and his reclusive sister Sagiri-aka the artist "Eromanga Sensei"-will be a drama to compare with their rising careers, their restive fan base, and their rivals in the industry!

EVERYTHING IS AN EMERGENCY HC

(W) Jason Adam Katzenstein (A) Jason Adam Katzenstein

A New Yorker cartoonist brings to life his struggle with OCD through his arresting drawings and inimitable comedic voice, illumi NAting his daily battle to feel comfortable in the world - and ultimately make room for a life without limitations. For Jason Katzenstein, mundane events are a cause for alarm. In short: his brain is broken. But his brain is also creative, and so devises a coping mechanism to protect itself from the worst thoughts and feelings by performing rituals called "compulsions" that help Jason work through fears of contami NAtion, guilt, panic, and relationships. Yes: Jason has OCD. Everything Is an Emergency is Jason's way of showing us that OCD can be funny and, as Jason has discovered, while unmaking habits is hard, nothing worth doing is ever easy.
