WONDERLAND HC
by Tommy Kovac & Sonny Liew
Among the numerous curiosities that have gone unexplained in the classic tale
Alice in Wonderland, perhaps the most perplexing might be who, exactly, is the
"Maryann" for whom the White Rabbit mistakes Alice at the beginning of the
story. Lewis Carroll first begged us to ponder this, and years later, Walt
Disney again made viewers wonder who Maryann might be in his classic
feature-length animated film based on Carroll's book. Now the amazingly talented
folks at SLG Publishing, through a licensing deal with Disney, have finally
answered this age-old question. In their Eisner-nominated comic book,
Wonderland, readers experience Alice's fantastic world as they've never seen it
before. Writer Tommy Kovac's Wonderland is populated by all of the characters
that make the world such a curiously exciting place. The Queen of Hearts is
present, barking orders to lop off people's heads, as is the Cheshire Cat, the
White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and the rest of Wonderland's beloved citizens. And
there are some new faces, too, including the book's main protagonist, the
mysterious Maryann herself. This stunning graphic novel collects the six issues
that comprise Wonderland in a beautiful, collectible, jacketed hardcover
edition. (C: 0-1-2)

WHAT IT IS HC
by Lynda Barry
Lynda Barry is one of the pre-eminent cartoonists of the past generation, and in
What It Is she demonstrates a tried-and-true creative method that is playful,
powerful, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or
remember. Bursting with full-color drawings, comics, and collages,
autobiographical sections and gentle creative guidance, each page is an
invigorating example of exactly what it is: “The ordinary is extraordinary.”
Lynda Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and
imagination, where play can be serious, monsters have purpose, and not knowing
is an answer unto itself. How do objects summon memories? What do real images
feel like? These types of questions permeate the pages of What It Is, with words
attracting pictures and conjuring places through a pen that first and foremost
keeps on moving. Her insight and sincerity will tackle the most persistent of
inhibitions, calling back every kid who quit drawing to again feel alive at the
experiential level.

not yet chosen sides are forced to walk the knife's edge of history as it cuts
irreversibly through their lives. Nazi assaults Communist, black confronts
white, and Kurt Severing struggles with the futility of using language itself to
strike at the dark heart of human nature.
