CINEBOOK
I.R.$.: TAKING TRAILS 1 TP UK
by Vrancken & Desberg
This is a series very much in touch with the third millennium: a realistic
thriller with a gritty storyline and taut emotions. Larry B. Max is an unusual
specialist from a little-known branch of the I.R.S. (Internal Revenue Service),
the all-powerful tax-collecting agency of the United States. With reading into
tax-evasion and money-laundering ringing the way a virtuoso pianist might read a
sheet of Mozart, Max has every technological method at his disposal to find
links between high finance and high crime. In this first collection, he must
look into a particularly delicate file belonging to a rich Jewish-American,
known for his involvement in recovering items that were confiscated by the
Nazis. Dissecting this billionaire’s accounts, Max embarks on a dangerous
journey to find the mysterious origins of the man’s immense fortune…

PAPYRUS: IMHOTEP’S TRANSFORMATION VOL. 2 TP UK
by De Gieter
The fantastic adventures of a young hero of ancient Egypt. Papyrus and his
friend Imhotep head off for Sakkarah, where a statue must be erected to give
praise to the Pharaoh. While navigating the Nile, they save an old man
threatened by a crocodile. In Sakkarah, the Pharaoh’s life is threatened too: He
has been poisoned. If he dies, the future will be very bleak… So our young
heroes have the idea of letting the old man they saved play the role of Pharaoh,
seeing as the two men look very much alike… But the deception may not last for
long, and Papyrus has to find an antidote for the Pharaoh as quickly as he can!
This series tells the tribulations of a young fisherman, Papyrus, and the
princess Theti-Cheri, daughter of the Pharaoh Merenptha, in a very precise
reconstruction of old Egypt (the XIXth dynasty). Featuring colour illustrations
throughout. (978-1-905460-50-2) (CAUT: 0-0-4)

JEFF HAWKE: THE AMBASSADORS GN UK
by Willie Patterson & Sydney Jordan
Widely considered one of the most important sci-fi comic strips ever published,
Jeff Hawke is a benchmark in intelligent, adult-oriented storytelling! Jeff
Hawke’s not your average space-hero; focused on reasoning, diplomacy and moral
virtues instead of brute force, he is frequently forced to be the ambassador —
rather than the saviour — of mankind! His universe is populated with alien
species that meet humankind by accident or for commerce, but hardly ever for
invasion. Patterson’s subtle wit makes the strip’s plots and characters as
fascinating as they are amusing, and Jordan’s highly expressive style fully
captures the strangeness of the weird and wonderful aliens of Jeff’s universe!

ART OF WALL.E HC
Pixar Animation Studios, the innovators behind Toy Story, The Incredibles, and
Ratatouille, has again reinvented the genre with Wall.E. When a robot searching
for a connection finds EVE, a sleek female probe-droid from outer space, he
embarks on an adventure-filled journey across the galaxy. Inspired by classic
films, and a brave venture in its own right, Wall.E is set to awe audiences in
July 2008. The Art of Wall.E includes more than 250 imaginative pieces of
concept art, including storyboards, full-color pastels, digital and pencil
sketches, character studies, color scripts, and more. The astute text —
featuring quotes from the director, artists, animators, and production team —
unearths the filmmakers’ historical inspirations and reveals a studio
confidently pushing the limits of animation. (978-0-8118-6235-6) (CAUT: 0-0-4)

BOMB THE SUBURBS TP

Should graffiti writers organise to tear up cities, or should they really be
bombing the suburbs? Taking on topics ranging from tagging and hip hop to
suburban sprawl, racial identity and youth activism, Wimsatt combines stories,
cartoons, interviews and parodies to challenge the suburban mindset wherever
it’s found. Funny, provocative and painfully honest, Bomb the Suburbs encourages
readers to expand their preconceived boundaries. This seminal evaluation of the
world of hip-hop, rap, and street art also features an analysis of the culture
and politics surrounding it, in this anniversary edition of an underground
classic. (978-1-9333-6855-9) (CAUT: 0-0-4)

Vegas. Over two years, Grecco gained backstage access and the result is this
unique collection that captures artistic, evocative human portraits of the stars
and makers of porn. Certainly not explicit, but most definitely revealing.
