1st printing. By Bart Beaty. On the surface, the relationship between comics and the high arts once seemed simple; comic books and strips could be mined for inspiration, but were not themselves considered legitimate art objects. Though this traditional distinction has begun to erode, the worlds of comics and art continue to occupy vastly different social spaces. Comics Versus Art examines the relationship between comics and the most important institutions of the art world, including museums, auction houses, and the art press. Bart Beaty's analysis centres around two questions: why were comics excluded from the history of art for most of the twentieth century, and what does it mean that comics production is now more closely aligned with the art world? Approaching this relationship for the first time through the lens of the sociology of culture, Beaty advances a completely novel approach to the comics form. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 274 pages, text (with B&W Illustrations and photos).

By Faith Erin Hicks.

Miriam's family should be rich. After all, her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing, and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either; how can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads? As if she didn't have enough to worry about, Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy shows up in town... and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's grandfather, and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune.

1st printing. By Harriet E.H. Earle. Conflict and trauma remain among the most prevalent themes in film and literature. Comics has never avoided such narratives, and comics artists are writing them in ways that are both different from and complementary to literature and film. In Comics, Trauma, and the New Art of War, Harriet E. H. Earle brings together two distinct areas of research-trauma studies and comics studies-to provide a new interpretation of a long-standing theme. Focusing on representations of conflict in post-Vietnam War American comics, Earle claims that the comics form is uniquely able to show traumatic experience by representing events as viscerally as possible. Hardcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 240 pages, B&W. Cover price $65.00.

1st printing. Edited and Introduction by David Bushman and Ken Deep. Essays by Shaun Lyon, Joseph Dougherty, Mackenzie, Amanda-Rae Prescott. Scott Ryan, David Bushman, Gina R. Rosich, PhD, MSW, Joshua Lou Friedman, Yee Jee Tso, Paul J. Salamoff, Charlie Williams, Lucy Chase Williams, Amy Krell, Edwin Thrower, Ken Deep, Barnaby Edwards, and Ken Deep. Cover by Blair D. Shedd. "Don't be alone, Doctor," Amy Pond tells the eleventh Doctor in "The Angels Take Manhattan," and of course the irony is that in one sense the Doctor is always alone-a Gallifreyan whose regenerative powers mean he will outlast nearly everyone near and dear to him-while at the same time he is rarely without one or more trusted companion by his side. This is a book about those companions, those fortunate few who accompany him on his journeys through space and time on, to quote the ninth Doctor-"the trip of a lifetime." The editors of The Villains of Doctor Who return with a new anthology of essays to Donna Noble, Sarah Jane Smith, Rose Tyler, Wilfred Mott, Chang Lee, Clara Oswald, and more. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 212 pages, Text. Cover price $19.99.

1st printing. By Simon Sheridan. All the singles, all the albums, all the tours, all the TV specials and movies... all the ABBA! For four decades ABBA - the combined talents of Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad - has been a global music phenomenon, clocking up record sales of over 360 million. Unquestionably one of the most respected and recognisable brands in pop, Scandinavia's all-conquering musical export actually remained together for only ten years but the group's influence resonates as much today as it did in the 1970s. Thanks to the global success of the musical Mamma Mia!, ABBA's hit songs are cherished by millions of new admirers, but it is the original recordings which set the bench-mark for 20th century pop. The beautiful, cascading melodies and unmistakable harmonies of `Dancing Queen', `SOS', `Take a Chance on Me' and `The Winner Takes It All' have a unique power to inspire passion and devotion in equal measure. For the very first time The Complete ABBA compiles all of the Swedish supergroup's singles, albums, TV specials, tours and movies. Beginning with their 1972 debut single `People Need Love', the book chronicles the band's incredible story right through to Björn and Benny's triumphant Thank You for the Music tribute concert held in London in 2009, and beyond, to 2012, the bands 40th anniversary. This is all the ABBA you'll ever need! Softcover, 240 pages, Text (with 16 pages of full color and B&W photos). Cover price $17.95.
