OUTLAW: THE LEGEND OF ROBIN HOOD GN
(W) Tony Lee (A) Sam Hart, Artur Jujita
How did Robin of Loxley become Robin Hood? Why did he choose to fight injustice
instead of robbing for his own gain? Expressive and gritty, this graphic novel
whisks readers back to Crusades-era England, where the Sheriff of Nottingham
rules with an iron first, and in the haunted heart of Sherwood Forest, a defiant
rogue-with the help of his men and the lovely Maid Marian-disguises himself to
become an outlaw. (C: 0-1-2) NOTE: Available only in the United States, U.S.
Territories, Canada, and Mexico.

THE STORM IN THE BARN GN
(W/A) Matt Phelan
In 1937 Kansas, eleven-year-old Jack Clark faces his share of ordinary
challenges: local bullies, his father's failed expectations, a little sister
with an eye for trouble. But he also has to deal with the effects of the Dust
Bowl, including rising tensions in his small town and the spread of a shadowy
illness. Certainly a case of "dust dementia" would explain who (or what) Jack
has glimpsed in the Talbot's abandoned barn — a sinister figure with a face like
rain. In a land where it never rains, it's hard to trust what you see with your
own eyes, and harder still to take heart and be a hero when the time comes. (C:
