While the Emperor's sons are embroiled in a bitter rivalry for power, word spreads across the capital about the arrival of a man of extraordinary genius and a brilliant strategist Mei Changsu, adding fuel to the fire. The prophecy says that one who enlists his support will rule the world. But will Mei Changsu agree to be used as a pawn? Many years ago, the capital knew him under another name, and the reason why he returned has nothing to do with the whims of the powerful ones.

Written by Ronald Wimberly. Art and cover by Brahm Revel.

From Ronald Wimberly, creator of the viral comic Lighten Up, comes a soaring graphic biography that casts new light on the first African American fighter pilot.

On the eve of World War I, Eugene Bullard was one of a small but growing number of African American refugees living in France. At just eleven years old, Bullard had fled the dangers of the Jim Crow South, determined to find a place where a Black man would be treated as a human being. His search took him across the Atlantic and through a myriad of lives as a horse racer, vaudeville performer, and boxer. In 1913, he settled in Paris. In 1914, the Great War began, and Bullard made history as the first African American fighter pilot.

In this candid-but-sensitive graphic memoir, Ronald Wimberly and Brahm Revel capture moments from Eugene Bullard's life with remarkable empathy, from the muddy trenches to the open sky.

1st printing.

Back in the 1950s, during the Cold War, every day beckoned with the possibility of the end of the world. Kids grew up in the shadow of bomb shelters and were treated to daily lessons at school on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. Americans were besieged by constant reminders to police our borders, to carefully watch out for "foreigners" who might be spies, and to be ever vigilant in preparing to combat the "red" menace of communism. Comic books of this era played on these fears with stories of atomic war and World War III.

This volume collects the complete runs of Atomic War! (#1-4, November, 1952-April, 1953) and World War III (#1-2, March, 1952 and May, 1953) and can be read merely as great action/adventure stories, classic "war" comics or as an eerie, unanticipated commentary on today's tribulations.

1st printing. Written by Bryan Doerries. Art by Joëlle Jones. Jack Brennan is a Marine Corps sergeant whose infantry squad has been cleared to return home from a grueling deployment to Afghanistan. A few years prior, Sergeant Brennan lost one of his closest friends - a young combat veteran - to suicide and has vowed to do everything in his power to keep his Marines from a similar fate. On their last night in-country, Brennan shares his version of The Odyssey to help prepare his squad for the transition back to the home front. By retelling Homer's epic about Odysseus' difficult journey home after the Trojan War, and weaving in the stories of contemporary Marines, The Odyssey of Sergeant Jack Brennan powerfully conveys the profound challenges today's veterans face upon returning from combat even as it tells "the oldest war story of all time." Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 160 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.
