      The Killing Joke

      Una pessima giornata. Secondo quella macchina impazzita di follia conosciuta come Joker solo una pessima giornata divide una persona sana di mente da uno psicotico. Rilasciato ancora una volta dal Manicomio Arkham, il Joker è libero di dimostrare la propria teoria. E ha scelto quali cavie il miglior poliziotto di Gotham, il commissario Jim Gordon, e la sua bellissima figlia Barbara. Batman dovrà fermare il suo arcinemico prima che il regno di terrore che ha costruito inghiotta per sempre alcuni dei migliori amici dell'Uomo Pipistrello. Riuscirà una volta per tutte a fermare il ciclo infinito di violenza che lega le due icone di Gotham City? Quando le spaventose origini del Pagliaccio del Crimine saranno rivelate, la linea sottile che divide la nobiltà di Batman dalla follia del Joker verrà infranta? Il leggendario scrittore Alan Moore ha ridefinito il concetto di super-eroe con Watchmen e V for Vendetta. Con Batman: The Killing Joke ha raccontato le origini del più grande criminale dei fumetti e ha cambiato il mondo di Batman per sempre. (Contiene Batman: The Killing Joke, Batman: Black & White 4) Meravigliosamente illustrato, Batman: The Killing Joke è stato ricolorato da Brian Bolland e rivela per la prima volta la sua personalissima visione di questo classico moderno.

      Il 1985 è stato un anno cruciale per Alan Moore: era al lavoro su Swamp Thing e V for Vendetta quando su proposta di Malcolm McLaren, il manager dei Sex Pistols, accettò di scrivere una sceneggiatura per un film ispirato a La Bella e la Bestia. Fashion Beast non venne mai girato e, a quasi trent’anni di distanza, Anthony Johnston e Facundo Percio ne realizzano una versione a fumetti sotto la supervisione dello stesso Moore. La storia del gender bender Doll, proiettato ll’improvviso nel crudele mondo della moda, è un nuovo piccolo capolavoro a fumetti.

      AN ANTHOLOGY of inter-conected stories by Stephen R. Bissette, Mark Morris, Christopher Golden, Tim Lebbon, Stephen Volk.“I think it’s true to say,” says horror wunderkind Stephen Volk, “that many of us horror writers of a certain generation have treasured memories of Hammer Films, Amicus Productions and their ilk. In fact, their output of genre classics is so important that some of us have secretly longed for a way to relive and recapture the excitement we had when we first experienced them."That was my exact impulse when I first talked to Mark Morris about a book proposal entitled The Blythewood Horror Film Omnibus—an unashamed homage to John Burke’s Hammer Horror Film Omnibus, a fat paperback that came out in the sixties, comprising four novellas based on upcoming horror films. The difference being that our “Blythewood” would be a studio that never existed. Our four films would be movies that we’d invent from scratch. Movies we wished we could have seen as feature films when we were growing up. And now we can – in book form – thanks to PS."CONTENTS* Prologue (by Stephen R.

Imagine a Britain stripped of democracy, a world of the not-too-distant future, in which freedom was not lost but surrendered willingly to a totalitarian regime that rose to power by exploiting the people's worst fears and most damning weaknesses. This is the setting for the parable of Evey, a young woman saved from death by a masked man calling himself V. Beguiling and dangerous, V ignites the fuse of revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to shed the blanket of tyranny and oppression they have permitted themselves to be cloaked in. While those in power take steps to neutralize the threat, police pursue the mystery of V, unaware of the terrible truth that awaits them. But it is Evey who, with V as her enigmatic guide, sets out on the painful path of deception and self-discovery, deconstruction and re-creation, vindication and vengeance.

    • From Robert Johnson to Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson to John Lee Hooker, blues and gospel artists figure heavily in the mythology of twentieth-century culture. The styles in which they sang have proved hugely influential to generations of popular singers, from the wholesale adoptions of singers like Robert Cray or James Brown, to the subtler vocal appropriations of Mariah Carey. Their own music, and how it operates, is not, however, always seen as valid in its own right. This book provides an overview of both these genres, which worked together to provide an expression of twentieth-century black US experience. Their histories are unfolded and questioned; representative songs and lyrical imagery are analysed; perspectives are offered from the standpoint of the voice, the guitar, the piano, and also that of the working musician. The book concludes with a discussion of the impact the genres have had on mainstream musical culture.

    • In the half a square mile of decay and demolition that was England's Saxon capital, eternity is loitering between the firetrap tower blocks. Embedded in the grubby amber of the district's narrative among its saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts a different kind of human time is happening. An opulent mythology for those without a pot to piss in, through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts that sing of wealth and poverty; of Africa, and hymns, and our threadbare millennium.
