      They say "What You See Is What You Get..". but Kevin "Boingthump" Phenicle could always see more than most people. In the world of phone phreaks, hackers, and scammers, he's a legend. His exploits are hotly debated: could he really get free long-distance calls by whistling into a pay phone? Did his video-game piracy scheme accidentally trigger the first computer virus? And did he really dodge the FBI by using their own wiretapping software against them? Is he even a real person? And if he's ever caught, what would happen to a geek like him in federal prison? Inspired by the incredible stories of real-life hackers, Wizzygig is the thrilling tale of a master manipulator -- his journey from precocious child scammer to federally-wanted fugitive, and beyond. In a world transformed by social networks and data leaks, Ed Piskor's debut graphic novel reminds us how much power can rest in the hands of an audacious kid with a keyboard.

      Aided by the anonymous dark web and nearly untraceable cryptocurrency, a criminal subculture has emerged. It livestreams murders as entertainment. Who are the killers? Who are the victims? Who is paying to watch? How to stop it? Red Room is constructed as a series of interconnected stories, shining a light on the characters who exist in the ugliest of corners in cyberspace. Piskor cuts the graphic horror with his sharp sense of humor, gorgeous cartooning, and dynamic storytelling. Red Room peels back the curtain on the side of humanity few of us knew existed, let alone understood. Fans and followers of Piskor’s YouTube channel sensation, Cartoonist Kayfabe, have already made Red Room: The Antisocial Network one of the most eagerly anticipated and talked-about releases of 2021. It is the first in a series of graphic novels, with the second scheduled for release in Summer 2022.

      Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs would write their own masterpieces but taken together, as the Beats, they would also become a focal point for a literary explosion and a generation of revolution.

      Hip-Hop-Family-Tree Tom 2 kontynuuje historię hip-hopu, obejmując lata 1981-1983. W 1981 roku hip-hop przeszedł z parków i pomieszczeń hobbystycznych do klubów w centrum miast oraz na winyl. Artyści starają się wyróżnić przed płacącą publicznością coraz bardziej ekstrawaganckimi strojami – aż pojawia się młoda grupa RUN-DMC, przywracając ulicy jej znaczenie. Ten tom opowiada o hitach takich jak „Planet Rock” Afriki Bambaataa, „The Message” Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five oraz filmie „Wild Style”, wprowadzając supergwiazdy takie jak NWA, Beastie Boys, Doug E Fresh, KRS One, ICE T oraz wczesnych Public Enemy. Z krótkimi wystąpieniami LL Cool J, Notorious BIG i New Kids on the Block. Jak zawsze, mistrzowsko przedstawione przez Eda Piskora, wschodzącą gwiazdę amerykańskiej sceny komiksowej.

      Tak, tak, ziom! Sławny młody rysownik Ed Piskor chce Was trochę podszkolić w oldskulu i dlatego przygotował totalnie rozrywkową i encyklopedyczną kronikę najbardziej amerykańskiej ze sztuk, która podbiła cały świat. Genealogia Hip Hopu, która debiutowała w sieci na portalu Boing Boing, poprowadzi Was swoimi obsesyjnie szczegółowymi kadrami przez parki i domówki południowego Bronksu po kluby, studia nagraniowe i radiostacje, gdzie rodziła się nowa scena. Na planszach tego komiksu ożywają tak magnetyczne i wspaniałe osobowości jak Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kurtis Blow, DJ Kool Herc, The Sugarhill Gang i Funky 4+1. Poznajemy też obdarzone wcale nie mniejszą charyzmą szare eminencje hip hopu: Russella Simmonsa, Sylvię Robinson, Ricka Rubina oraz manhattańskich mistrzów graffiti pomagających przebić się hip hopowi do mainstreamu: Fab Five'a Freddy'ego, który ziomił się z Debbie Harry, Keithem Haringiem i Jeanem-Michaelem Basquiatem.
