Alisa Kwitney Libri

Quando Elizabeth Lavenza si iscrive a Ingold, prima e unica studentessa di Medicina, capisce subito che dimostrare quanto vale a compagni e professori sarà cosa ardua. Così quando s'imbatte in un bio-meccanico difettoso - una delle creature che la scuola sta riportando in vita, usando cadaveri di giovani uomini allo scopo di addestrare un esercito di soldati-automi da spedire in guerra - si offre di ripararlo per farsi notare. Ma questo bio-meccanico sembra aver conservato ricordi, sentimenti... e una coscienza. Elizabeth scopre che si tratta di Victor Frankenstein, brillante studente di Ingold deceduto in circostanze misteriose, e ne è pericolosamente attratta. Si ritrova così invischiata in una rete di segreti, intrighi e oscuri esperimenti che paiono implicare la Regina Elisabetta.

The first and only comic book to receive the World Fantasy Award, The Sandman continues to break new ground in the comic book medium and beyond. Author Alisa Kwitney explores its beginnings and chronicles the comic's emergence as a unique and undeniable force in the literary world. Richly illustrated, this history shows how Gaiman and The Sandman 's gifted artists, such as Dave McKean and Yoshitaka Amano, create a haunting (and haunted) main character who wields immense power. With illustrations never before published, behind-the-scenes stories, handwritten notes, and interviews with Gaiman himself, this volume is a true testament to the dream king and his creator.

Since its inception a decade ago, DC Comics' VERTIGO imprint quickly became a revolutionary pop cultural force, featuring stories and artwork too fresh, too original, and too beautiful to be ignored. The VERTIGO series has stimulated intellectual debates, won coveted awards, and virtually heralded a new age in the comic book industry. The best examples of artwork from this groundbreaking imprint were collected in one magnificent volume called Vertigo Visions. To celebrate VERTIGO's 10th anniversary, Watson-Guptill announces a new and updated paperback edition of this celebrated best-seller, with 16 additional pages of masterworks selected from VERTIGO's past three years. Featuring the works of such acclaimed artists as Dave McKean, Marshall Arisman, and Sue Coe, readers will delight in the brilliant images from such classic titles as Neil Gaiman's Sandman, as well as images from VERTIGO's newest hit series-Fables, 100 Bullets, The Filth, Lucifer, and Y: The Last Man. Vertigo Visions Ten Years on the Edge continues to tell a tale: the story of the first decade of an ongoing revolution in the history of comics.

"The Avengers were finished, broken up for good.

Among the escapees from the Raft: the mysterious Black Widow, Russian super-spy and assassin. Clint Barton, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent called Hawkeye, has only one mission: never mind the Avengers, just bring the Widow. Dead or alive"--Page 4 of cover

"For the first time, the two-issue miniseries THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE, written by Neil Gaiman, Alisa Kwitney and Jamie Delano, are collected - and with them, a new chapter written by Toby Litt that completes the tale as Gaiman originally envisioned it. When several children go missing in a small English town, the Dead Boy Detectives are on the case. A series of strange and unexpected twists take them to Free Country, a place that dates back a millennia, where children never grow old and are free from the abuse and tyranny of adults. But Free Country is failing, and what it needs is the strength of five innately powerful children - including the young sorcerer Timothy Hunter - to restore their uncanny world to what it once was. This hardcover collects THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE #1 and THE CHILDREN'S CRUSADE #2, written by Gaiman with cowriters Alisa Kwitney and Jamie Delano. A brand-new middle chapter written by DEAD BOY DETECTIVES writer Toby Litt and drawn artist Peter Gross (THE BOOKS OF MAGIC, THE UNWRITTEN) completes this compelling tale of ancient history, stolen dreams and lost children. Also featuring a new introduction by Gaiman, plus new cover art by DEAD BOY DETECTIVES artist Mark Buckingham"--
