1st printing. By Paul Gravett. The comic book, the cartoon strip, and the single-panel gag are recurring motifs in twentieth-century art, providing a platform for narrative, political critique, graphic clarity, and, of course, fun. Cult Fiction: Art & Comics examines the work of artists who produce comics and cartoons as part of their practice, as well as those who employ the language of the comic in their work, borrowing from stylistic sources across high and low culture. An essay by Paul Gravett, a writer and curator who has worked in comics publishing and promotion for over 20 years, illuminates the long-standing love affair between fine art and comics, emphasizing contemporary practitioners in Britain and the U.S., including Daniel Clowes, R. Crumb, Paul McDevitt, Kim Pace, Carol Swain, Stéphane Blanquet, Melinda Gebbie, Alan Moore, and Travis Millard. Softcover, 9 1/2-in. x 13 1/2-in., 96 pages, B&W. Cover price $37.99.

1st Printing. For decades now science fiction has provided the small screen with many of its most memorable - and forgettable - moments. The best, such as Doctor Who, Star Trek, The Prisoner, and Gerry Anderson's marionation puppets, have attracted a devoted following who refuse to let their legends fade. Other, series such as Space Patrol and the Andromeda series have not been quite so fortunate, slipping into the Twilight Zone of archival television. In recent years, the enduring fascination with science fiction has spawned new classics such as Quantum Leap, the increasingly popular Babylon 5 and an exciting new dynasty of Star Trek offspring - the phenomenally successful Next Generation series and its successor, Deep Space Nine. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction is the first definitive A-Z of the subject and brings it right up to date with the latest editions to the TV science fiction universe. Between its covers are to be found the good, the bad, and the very ugly, the classics and those who have sunk without a trace. This is your map through four decades of science fiction on television. Softcover, 6" x 9", 728 pages, B&W.

By Brent Spiner and Jeanne Darst.

Brent Spiner pens an explosive and hilarious novel, Fan Fiction, a personal look at the slightly askew view of the relationship between a celebrity and his fans.
