RIVER OF INK TP

(W) Etienne Appert (A) Etienne Appert (CA) Etienne Appert

A thought-provoking book about the very origins of the art of illustration-what it means and why it exists. The River of Ink flows from the present day back to the very first illustration drawn by a human. Along its shores are tales and wisdom from legendary artists of the past and present exploring the philosophy of communication through drawing. Why do we draw? It's a simple question with a spellbinding and complex answer in this entirely new and entertaining look at the history of art. Also featured is an illustrated interview between Appert and comics master Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics, The Sculptor) that no reader should miss!

SPACE BASTARDS #7

(W) Joe Aubrey (A) Simon Bisley (CA) Simon Bisley

A "Giant-Sized Manny" spectacular that puts the Man in Manny Corns! A character so big, so bold-so horny-that one story couldn't contain him! The Manicorn takes center stage in two twisted tales drawn by artistic heavyweights Simon Bisley and Clint Langley. Witness how Manny made his living before joining the IPS and what he's already survived just to be able to deliver packages throughout the galaxy. If you thought Davey Proton was in trouble before, you ain't seen nothin' yet. And remember, nobody beats the Manicorn!

YOUNG LEONARDO HC

(W) William Augel (A) William Augel

A spirited glimpse at the childhood of one of the world's greatest artists and thinkers: Leonardo da Vinci. Have you ever wondered what the great masters were like when they were young? Meet Leonardo, a curious little boy who closely examines the inner and outer workings of the world around him, gaining inspiration for beautiful paintings and wild machines of all kinds (even some that fly!). Little does he know he'll one day paint some of the world's greatest masterpieces like the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper," and even spur the great period of cultural rebirth known as the Renaissance! Young Leonardo is a charming tale, riddled with humor and poetry. This book resonates with art lovers of all ages!
