Baseball Hall of Famer Leroy "Satchel" Paige (1906 - 1982) changed the face of the game in a career that spanned five decades. Much has been written about this larger-than-life pitcher, but when it comes to Paige, fact does not easily separate from fiction. He made a point of writing his own history . . . and then re-writing it. A tall, lanky fireballer, he was arguably the Negro League's hardest thrower, most entertaining storyteller and greatest gate attraction. Now the Center for Cartoon Studies turns a graphic novelist's eye to Paige's story. Told from the point of view of a sharecropper, this compelling narrative follows Paige from game to game as he travels throughout the segregated South. In stark prose and powerful graphics, author and artist share the story of a sports hero, role model, consummate showman, and era-defining American.

The collection features ten extraordinary tales from real-life adventurers, each story promising to be larger-than-life, hilariously entertaining, and bizarrely captivating. These narratives delve into the unique experiences and challenges faced by the adventurers, showcasing their remarkable journeys and the unexpected twists that reality can offer. Readers can expect a blend of humor and wonder as they explore the wild and unpredictable nature of these true accounts.

Der Teppichknüpfer Mendelmann ist konsterniert, als er feststellen muss, dass der Laden, in dem er seine kunstvollen Arbeiten zu verkaufen pflegte, quasi über Nacht nur noch industriell gefertigte Massenware führt. Im verzweifelten Ringen um einen Abnehmer für seine Teppiche sieht Mendelmann an diesem Markttag nicht nur die Existenz seiner Familie in Gefahr, sondern mehr und mehr auch die eigene Identität… In klaren Bildern zeichnet James Sturm ein unsentimentales Porträt jüdischen Lebens im Osteuropa des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Zudem gelingt ihm eine zeitlose Erzählung darüber, wie gesellschaftliche und ökonomische Zwänge sich im Schicksal jedes Einzelnen niederschlagen.
