THE RABBI'S CAT VOLUME 2 GN
by Joann Sfar
While the rabbit is away on an errand, the rabbi's cat tags along with Malke of
the Lions, the rabbit's enigmatic cousin who roams the desert with his
ferocious-on-demand lion. Some believe Malka to be a pious Jew, others think
he's a shrewd womanizer, but the cat will be the one to discover the surprising
truth. Back in Algiers, the rabbi's daughter, Zlabya, and her new husband fill
the house with their fighting, while the city around them fills with a rising
tide of anti-Semitism. On a whim, the rabbi's cat, the rabbi, the sheik (also a
cousin of the rabbi), and a very misplaced Russian painter set out on a
fantastic journey in search of an African Jerusalem. And it turns out to be
fortuitous that the rabbi's cat is not just a talking cat, but a multilingual
talking cat! (C: 0-1-2)

CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED DELUXE #2: TALES OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM
by Mazan, Petit & Chicault
Four fascinating tales by the Brothers Grimm come alive in these bold new comics
adaptations by three incredible graphic novelists. This edition of Classics
Illustrated features both the well-loved tales of "Hansel and Gretel" and their
trip to the Witch's Gingerbread House and the thrilling encounter of the
"Valiant Little Tailor" with the Giants, as well as the lesser known tales of
"The Boy Who Wanted to Learn What Fear Was" who stays in a haunted castle and a
boy's quest to snatch "The Devil's Three Golden Hairs." Over the years, many
elements from the original versions of these tales have either been omitted or
blandly changed. These adaptations strive to restore all of the excitement,
magic, and thrills of the original classic tales, in a tasteful and thoughtful
manner. Available in hardcover and softcover editions.

GARY PANTER 2-VOLUME SLIPCASED HC SET

Gary Panter has been one of the most influential figures in visual culture for

volumes. The first volume is a comprehensive monograph featuring over 1,000
images of paintings, sculptures, posters, comics, and drawings complemented by
essays from Byron Coley, Richard Klein, Robert Storr, and more, as well as the
longest interview to date with Panter. The second volume is a selection from
Panter's sketchbooks, where the artist's ideas have long incubated and the site
of some of his finest work. Very little of the work contained in these volumes
has been published in any form. Slipcased. (C: 0-1-2)
