1st printing. By Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón. On December 5, 2005, the 9/11 Commission issued its final report card on the government's fulfillment of the recommendations issued in July 2004: one A, twelve B's, nine C's, twelve D's, three F's, and four incompletes. Far, far too few Americans have read, grasped, and demanded action on the Commission's investigation into the events of that tragic day and the lessons America must learn. Jacobson and Colón have produced the most accessible version of the 9/11 Report. The text frequently follows word for word the original report, faithfully capturing its investigative thoroughness, and covering its entire scope, even including the Commission's final report card. Colón's stunning artwork powerfully conveys the facts, insights, and urgency of the original. The 9/11 Report puts at every American's fingertips the most defining event of the century. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 120 pages, full color.

1st printing. Story and art by Josh Neufeld. A stunning graphic novel that makes plain the undeniable horrors and humanity triggered by Hurricane Katrina in the true stories of six New Orleanians who survived the storm. Denise will experience the chaos of the Superdome; the Doctor's unscathed French Quarter home becomes a refuge for those not so lucky; Abbas and his friend Mansell face the storm from the roof of Abbas's family-run market; Kwame's young life will remain unsettled well into the future; and Leo, a comic-book fan, and his girlfriend, Michelle, who will lose everything but each other. Each make the wrenching decision between staying and evacuating, then cope not only with the outcome of their own decisions but also with those made by politicians, police, and others like themselves - decisions that drastically affect their lives, but over which they have no control.

1st printing. By Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón. Having made The 9/11 Commission Report understandable for everyone, Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón use their talents to explain the post-9/11 world. Working from news reports drawn from multiple international media, they depict the critical events, decision makers, and consequences of America's "war on terror," and, most important, the context in which the war began, unfolded, and unraveled. The most demanding story they have ever tackled, After 9/11 captures the simultaneous events, geographic complexity, numerous participants, and a vast array of economic, statistical, and quantitative information - compellingly told through the sequential panel art narrative form unique to graphic books. Proving yet again that graphic novels best meet the challenge of giving the most information with the least amount of ink, Jacobson and Colón answer with clarity and unforgettable imagery the question: How the hell did we end up where we are? Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 150 pages, full color.

1st printing. By Emmanuel Guibert and Alan Cope. When Alan Cope was eighteen, he joined the army and went off to fight in World War II. Like every American, he felt a patriotic fervor burning in him after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. But he had little idea what he was getting into by enlisting. This graphic memoir tells the story of his life during wartime, of his journey from his home on the west coast to basic training in Kentucky to leave in New York City, to the battlefields of France, to the terrors of the Bulge and General Patton's drive on Germany and Prague. Told with poignant intimacy and matchless artistry, Alan's War was born from a friendship between Alan and the graphic novel creator Emmanuel Guibert, who created a deeply personal and moving graphic novel from the stories Alan told him of his wartime experiences. An award-winner when it was serialized in Guibert's native France, this moving story of an American's experiences during the Second World War now finds its audience in his homeland. Softcover, 336 pages, B&W. Mature Readers

1st printing. By David Levine. "More than any other caricaturist, Levine has a fine eye for fraud. Let a statesman parade false affability, false humility, or false sorrow, and Levine will make it into a mask... Levine is a man of protest-passionate protest. And these drawings, more than anything else, are a social history of protest-especially as the artist felt it." - John Kenneth Galbraith
For more than a half century, David Levine has taken on the most powerful men of the free world with only his pen and a bottle of India ink. That pen has proved to be mightier than the sword as Levine skewered, illuminated, satirized and condemned every president of the 20th century, as well as the most significant presidents from colonial times and the Civil War era. His drawing of Lyndon Johnson revealing a scar in the shape of Vietnam is considered one of the most recognized (and most copied) of the Vietnam era. His devastating wit and delicately cross hatched drawing have exposed the venality of the Nixon administration, the phoniness of the Reagan years, the duplicity of the Clinton era, and the evil of the Bush cabal. Nine administrations have come and gone during Levine's tenure, and with a new one on the horizon, the artist remains, unbowed, unfazed, and unrelenting.
Now for the first time, the best of Levine's five decades of portraits of American Presidents and their administrations are gathered in a comprehensive and visually dynamic book. From John Adams to George Bush; from John Quincy Adams to George W. Bush; from the Great Emancipator to the Great Society, Levine has captured them all including present day candidates John McCain and Barack Obama.
David Levine is internationally renowned for his incisive caricatures of world figures in literature, politics, and the arts. For 45 years his work appeared in every issue of the New York Review of Books, and his drawings have been reproduced in Time, Newsweek, Esquire, Playboy, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, The Nation, and many other publications. Levine is perhaps the most influential caricaturists of the late twentieth century. Softcover, 8-in. x 9 1/2-in., 128 pages, B&W.

1st printing. Collects American Splendor: Unsung Hero (2002) #1-3. Written by Harvey Pekar. Art by David Collier. Few authors are able to capture an honest snapshot of everyday life the way Harvey Pekar can. From ruminations on jazz musicians to back problems and traffic tickets, Pekar writes in a clear, unsentimental voice that not only explores the mundane, but celebrates it as well. This time out, Pekar focuses his sharp literary eye on Robert McNeill, an ordinary man who's lived an extraordinary life. McNeill recounts his time spent as a G.I. in Vietnam, on a tour through that surreal and horrific landscape that even now, thirty years later, we're struggling to define. Unsung Hero is a tale of cynicism and endurance, tempered by McNeill's distinct sense of humor and Pekar's touching wit. American Splendor: Unsung Hero is the first Dark Horse collection from the long-running comic-book series that inspired the upcoming American Splendor feature film! The film version of American Splendor won the prestigious Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival and has earned both critical and popular acclaim! Softcover, 80 pages, full color.

1st printing. Written by Alissa R. Torres. Art by Sungyoon Choi. Alissa and Eddie Torres met in New York City, fell in love, and married in a whirlwind romance. Eddie had come to the United States as an illegal alien from Columbia and gradually worked his way up from a series of jobs in the garment district to become a high-paid currency broker, eventually landing his dream job at Cantor Fitzgerald in the World Trade Center. His first day of work was September 10, 2001. The next day he died in the World Trade Center attacks. Pregnant with their first child, Alissa found herself cast into the role of "terrorist widow." Forced to deal with unimaginable challenges, she found herself tossed into a storm of bureaucracy, politics, patriotism, mourning, consolation, and motherhood. Ultimately, she succeeded in taking hold of the forces about her to set off toward a brighter future. Told with the intimacy only a graphic novel can convey, American Widow offers a universal message of hope and redemption. Hardcover, 214 pages, PC.
