1st printing. By Eric Greene. Foreword by Richard Slotkin. In 1968, PLANET OF THE APES became a megahit movie both in the United States and abroad, inspiring four film sequels, two TV series, and several comic series. The APes films confronted some of the most controversial issues of the time, including Vietnam and the Black Power movement, all the while remaining crowd-pleasing box office hits. Eric Greene uses rare photographs, transcripts, and extensive interviews with the writers, directors, actors, and producers to read the Apes saga as a profoundly American myth. Greene also looks at the attempts of filmmakers like Oliver Stone and James Cameron to remake the myth for the nineties. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 250 pages, Text (with B&W Photos).

Written by Christian Staebler and Sonia Paoloni. Art and cover by Thibault Balahy.

Experience the riveting, powerful story of the Native American civil rights movement and the resulting struggle for identity told through the high-flying career of west coast rock n' roll pioneers, Redbone.

You've heard the hit song "Come and Get Your Love" in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy, but the story of the band behind it is one of cultural, political, and social importance.

Brothers Pat and Lolly Vegas were talented Native American rock musicians that took the 1960s Sunset Strip by storm. They influenced The Doors and jammed with Jimmy Hendrix before he was "Jimi," and the idea of a band made up of completely Native Americans soon followed.

Determined to control their creative vision and maintain their cultural identity, they eventually signed a deal with Epic Records in 1969. But as the American Indian Movement gained momentum the band took a stand, choosing pride in their ancestry over continued commercial reward.Created with the cooperation of the Vegas family, painstaking steps were taken to ensure the historical accuracy of this important and often overlooked story of America's past.

Part biography and part research journalism, Redbone provides a voice to a people long neglected in American history.

1st printing. By Abraham Riesman. Even if you've never watched a minute of professional wrestling, you are living in Vince McMahon's world. In his four decades as the defining figure of American pro wrestling, McMahon was the man behind Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, John Cena, Dave Bautista, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, and Hulk Hogan, to name just a few of the mega-stars who owe him their careers. For more than twenty-five years, he has also been a performer in his own show, acting as the diabolical "Mr. McMahon" - a figure who may have more in common with the real Vince than he would care to admit. Accessible to anyone, regardless of wrestling knowledge, RINGMASTER is an unauthorized, independent, investigative chronicle of Vince McMahon's origins and rise to supreme power. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 464 pages, Text. Cover price $29.99.

1st printing. Collects material from Drawn and Quarterly (1994-2003 Drawn and Quarterly) Volume 2 #4-6.

Story and art by Baru.

Road to America collects for the first time in complete form one of the best and most underrated comic "novellas" of the 1990's.

Originally serialized in three separate issues of Drawn and Quarterly, the story is set in Algeria in the late 1950's and early 1960's, during that country's long and bloody struggle to free itself from French colonial rule. Cartoonist Baru brilliantly documents an impoverished boxer's rise to fame amidst the chaos surrounding him and his family, from the slums of his hometown in Algeria to the bright lights of Paris.

By Lauren R. O'Connor.

Debuting just a few months after Batman himself, Robin has been an integral part of the Dark Knight's history and, from the outset, has both reflected and reinforced particular images of American adolescence. Closely reading several characters who have "played" Robin over the past eighty years, Robin and the Making of American Adolescence reveals the Boy (and sometimes Girl!) Wonder as a complex figure through whom mainstream culture has addressed anxieties about adolescents in relation to sexuality, gender, and race.

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 198 pages, Text (with full color photos).

Story and art by Kristen Radtke.

There is a silent epidemic in America: loneliness. Shameful to talk about and often misunderstood, loneliness is everywhere, from the most major of metropolises to the smallest of towns. In Seek You, Kristen Radtke's wide-ranging exploration of our inner lives and public selves, Radtke digs into the ways in which we attempt to feel closer to one another, and the distance that remains. Through the lenses of gender and violence, technology and art, Radtke ushers us through a history of loneliness and longing, and shares what feels impossible to share.
