ZOT! PB – THE COMPLETE BLACK & WHITE STORIES 1987-91
by Scott McCloud
Greatly influenced by the work of Astro Boy creator and “God of Manga” Osamu
Tezuka, McLoud created Zot! more than two decades ago at the tender age of 23,
making it the first manga-inspired American comics ever. Zachary T. Paleozogt,
popularly known as Zot, is a blond haired, blue eyed teenage hero from an
alternate Earth. This alternate reality is a retro-futuristic technological
utopia where flying cars, robots and interplanetary travel are common and nearly
all of its inhabitants benefit from peace, prosperity and a marked lack of
conventional social ills. Jaunting back and forth between the two worlds seems
exciting for Zot at first, but there are subtle differences in the essential
nature of the two planets that take some getting used to. On Zot’s world, events
naturally favor the “good guys” in any conflict, while on Earth, Zot is a less
successful hero, reflecting the fact that our world clearly does not conform to
the same rules as his. Nevertheless, Zot eagerly takes on Earth’s challenges
with the most amusing outcomes. The series is particularly notable for its
imagery which is reminiscent of the Golden Age of Science Fiction, its energetic
visual design and its meta-fictional underpinning. This newly revised cult
classic is not to be missed! (9780061537271) (CAUT: 0-0-4)

A new adventure in time and space for the fifth Doctor and his companion, Nyssa,
starring Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton. In a weird jungle valley, the Victorian
explorer Rupert Von Thal saves Bloomsbury novelist Beatrice Mapp from a ghastly
death in the grip of a monstrous mantis. But this is no Lost World of the
dinosaurs. According to their travelling companions, the Doctor and Nyssa, all
four have been transported back to a primitive Earth that should never have
existed! Further down the valley is the vast city where the scorpions live.
Walking, talking, intelligent scorpions, ruled over by their cruel and sinister
master. The Doctor and Nyssa are being drawn ever tighter into the clutches of…
the boy that time forgot. (9781844353194) (CAUT: 0-0-4)

Barbara abroad, is drawn out of the Vortex and lands aboard the Earth
Benchmarking Vessel Nevermore, where Captain Rostrum is navigating by punching
holes in the very fabric of space. The Doctor is appalled by this act of
vandalism, and fearful that it could unleash monsters from the dark dimensions.
As the benchmarking holes begin to fray, the fate of the universe is at stake.
And while the Doctor contemplates a terrible sacrifice, Susan befriends the
Nevermore’s First Mate — someone she’ll remember for the rest of her life…

by Graeme Burk, Ian Mond, Andy Lane, Mags L. Halliday, Lou Anders, Richard
Wright, James Milton, Dan Abnett, Pete Kempshall, Dale Smith, George Mann, Kelly
Hale, Mark Stevens, Steve Lyons, Dave Hoskin, James Moran & Richard Salter
An anthology of brand new Doctor Who short stories. If you lost the ability to
communicate, what would your life be like? Messages, and the media we use to
convey them, surround us every minute of every day. Some are meant for us alone,
while others are intended to reach the widest possible audience. Some
transmissions are intercepted by unintended recipients and never reach their
destination. Others get corrupted along the way. The Doctor knows how important
it is to be understood. Whether he is striving to cure a disease that turns
words into gibberish, responding to an SOS from the end of time, or unravelling
secret messages encoded into the genetic sequences that make up life itself,
this is one Time Lord who always knows how to make himself heard. Listen up. Get
the message. Keep this frequency clear. (9781844352715) (CAUT: 0-0-4)
