MACHINE NEVER BLINKS HC HISTORY SPYING & SURVEILLANCE

(W) Ivan Greenberg

The Machine Never Blinks is a comprehensive, eye-opening picture of the use of spying and surveillance in history and legend, from the story of the Trojan Horse through 9/11 and the so-called War on Terror, including the growth of government and corporate intercepts and databases, and even surveillance as entertainment (reality TV) and convenience (smart speakers).

PORTRAIT OF A DRUNK HC SCHRAUWEN

(W) Florent Ruppert

Guy is a mediocre mariner, able enough, but also a lazy, thieving, lying drunkard. All of which makes him more real than the swashbuckling Hollywood heroes that grace most pirate narratives. This tour de force of sea-faring gallows humor is also an international event in modern comics, teaming for the first time three titans of the field: Belgian comics master Olivier Schrauwen (Parallel Lives, Arsene Schrauwen) and the acclaimed French duo, Ruppert & Mulot (The Perineum Technique).

ROUGH PEARL GN

(W) Kevin Mutch

Adam Kline is stuck in a university job, surrounded by academic boors and completely ignored by the New York art scene. Miraculously, a promotion appears and a high-end art dealer expresses interest in his work. However, he keeps blacking out at the most inopportune times and his perception of reality and fantasy begins to blur....This wryly funny tale is further enlivened, as Adam contends with an eerie, pitch-black void, flesh-eating zombies, and a network of bug-eyed aliens. As if getting by in NYC wasn't hard enough!
