    1st printing.

    Edited and Introduction by Jessica Baldanzi and Hussien Rashid.

    Though the Marvel-verse is becoming much more racially, ethnically, and gender diverse, many of these comics remain shy about religion. The new Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan, is a notable exception, not only because she is written and conceived by two women, Sana Amanat and G. Willow Wilson, but also because both of these women bring their own experiences as Muslim Americans to the character.

    This distinct collection brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to engage with a single character, exploring Khan's significance for a broad readership. With essays from and about diverse voices on an array of topics from fashion to immigration history to fandom, this volume includes an exclusive interview with Wilson by gender studies scholar Shabana Mir.

    Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 256 pages, Text (with B&W Illustrations).

    Featuring Contributions by J. Richard Stevens, Martin Lund, Hussein Rashid, Sika A. Dagbovie-Mullins, Eric Berlatsky, Jessica Baldanzi, A. David Lewis, Peter E. Carlson, Antero Garcia, Winona Landis, Kristin M. Peterson, Aaron Kashtan, Nicholaus Pumphrey, José Alaniz and Shabana Mir.

    My Captain America HC (2020 Pegasus) A Granddaughter's Memoir of Legendary Comic Book Artist 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing.

    By Megan Margulies.

    A finely wrought coming-of-age memoir about the author's relationship with her beloved grandfather Joe Simon, cartoonist and co-creator of Captain America.

    The world inside Megan Margulies' parents' tiny Upper West Side one-bedroom apartment was hardly a respite from the chaos outside, with a family of five occupying the 550-square-foot space. Salvation arrived in the form of her grandfather, Daddy Joe, whose midtown studio became a second home to Megan. There, he listened to her woes, fed her Hungry Man frozen dinners, and simply let her be. His living room may have been dominated by the drawing table, notes, and doodles that marked him as Joe Simon the cartoonist. But for Megan, he was always Daddy Joe: an escape from her increasingly hectic home, a nonjudgmental voice whose sense of humor was as dry as his farfel, and a steady presence in a world that felt off balance.

    My Captain America offers a tender and sharply observed account of Megan's life with Daddy Joe - and an intimate portrait of the creative genius who gave us one of the most enduring super-heroes of all time.

    Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 336 pages, Text (with 8 pages of fll color illustrations and photos, including art by Jack Kirby).

    My Mommy is in America and She Met Buffalo Bill HC (2009) 1-1ST

    1st printing. Written by Jean Regnaud. Art by Emile Bravo. Jean relates his daily life and adventures with his sour-tempered teacher Madame Moinot, his busy dad, his kind nanny Yvette (the Queen of iced chocolate), his little brother Paul (with whom he is always fighting), and his precocious and spiteful neighbor Michele (whose parents own a kennel), telling them all those small and amusing things that appear to make him a normal boy. But inside there is a great emptiness and a voice calling "Where is my mommy...?" as his only maternal contact is through a series of fanciful postcards read to him by the girl next door! With sensitivity and emotion, Regnaud and Eisner nominated Bravo (Best Short Story 2008) tell their story that reminds us that children are not the only ones who would rather invent than deal with reality. Winner of Essentials Award at the Angouleme Festival, 2008. Hardcover, 120 pages, full color. Cover price $25.00.

    Panel to Screen SC (2018 UPoM) Style, American Film, and Comic Books during the Blockbuster Era 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    By Drew Morton.

    Over the past forty years, American film has entered into a formal interaction with the comic book. Such comic book adaptations as Sin City, 300, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World have adopted components of their source materials' visual style. The screen has been fractured into panels, the photographic has given way to the graphic, and the steady rhythm of cinematic time has evolved into a far more malleable element. In other words, films have begun to look like comics.

    1st printing.

    Story and art by Rumi Hara.

    The Peanutbutter Sisters is a glorious balance of contradictions, at once escapism and realism, science fiction and slice of life.

    Two students explore the urban landscape while following Newton Creek, the polluted Queens-Brooklyn border. As they do, they plan a traditional Japanese play with contemporary pop culture. Another story features an intergalactic race of all living things set in the year 2099 and is a dazzling treatise on the environment and journalism. Hara's innate control of the comics language is refreshingly unrivaled.
