BECOMING ANDY WARHOL GN
(W) Nick Bertozzi (A) Pierce Hargan (CA) Pierce Hargan
Celebrated during his lifetime as much for his personality as for his paintings, Andy Warhol (1928-87) is the most famous and influential of the Pop artists, who developed the notion of 15 minutes of fame, and the idea that an artist could be as illustrious as the work he creates. This graphic novel biography offers insight into the turning point of Warhol's career and the creation of the "Thirteen Most Wanted Men" mural for the 1964 World's Fair, when Warhol clashed with urban planner Robert Moses, architect Philip Johnson, and Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Becoming Andy Warhol showcases the moment when, by stubborn force of personality and sheer burgeoning talent, Warhol went up against the creative establishment and emerged to become one of the most significant artists of the 20th century.
GHOST STORIES OF AN ANTIQUARY GN #1
(W) M. R. James (A) Aneke
Curl up by the fire and enter the sinister, supernatural world of Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936), the master of the English ghost story. Chillingly atmospheric, quietly terrifying, M. R. James's stories explore the darkness just beyond the flicker of the candle, behind the creaking door. Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, Vol. 1 comprises graphic adaptations of four of James's most compelling and unsettling stories - "Canon Alberic's Scrapbook," "Lost Hearts," "The Mezzotint," and "The Ash Tree" - plunging readers into a world of pervasive, creeping disquiet. This is a graphic novel to be read on a winter's night, a book to curl up with-but not a book for the fainthearted.

In 1911, Roger Casement was knighted by King George V for his humanitarian work. Five years later, he was hanged for treason.

Fionnuala Doran follows Casement's efforts to gain German support for an independent Ireland, his drive to recruit volunteers, and his subsequent arrest in County Kerry.
