Cover by Bruce Timm. Stories by Paul Dini with Bruce Timm and Ronnie Del Carmen. Art by Bruce Timm, Ronnie Del Carmen, Kevin Altieri & Butch Lukic, Dan Riba and Glen Murakami. December in Gotham City -- that's the theme of THE BATMAN ADVENTURES HOLIDAY SPECIAL, a 64-page one-shot special featuring five thrilling, funny or touching yuletide stories by a slew of creators from The Adventures of Batman & Robin, the hit cartoon from Warner Bros. Animation. Emmy award-winning writer/producer Paul Dini writes all five stories. Art for the lead feature "Jolly Ol' St. Nicholas," featuring Detective Harvey Bullock teaming with Batgirl in a tense battle against Clayface, is by director/producer Bruce Timm, Dini's collaborator on the Eisner and Harvey Award-winning THE BATMAN ADVENTURES: MAD LOVE. Also in the Special, artist Ronnie Del Carmen illustrates "The Harley and the Ivy," a tale of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy in which the duo kidnaps millionaire Bruce Wayne so they can go on an unlimited shopping spree. A madcap New Year's Eve with the Joker is the subject of "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?", the story pencilled by director Kevin Altieri, while elsewhere, Batman and Commissioner Gordon take time out to share some New Year's cheer in "Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot," with art by director Dan Riba. And the icing of Gotham City is just the beginning of the poignant Mr. Freeze story "White Christmas," illustrated by artist Glen Murakami. 64 pages, full color. Cover price $2.95.

Written by Carlos Sampayo. Art and cover by Jose Munoz.

Born in Baltimore in 1915, and dead too early in New York in 1959, Billie Holiday became a legendary jazz singer, even mythical. With her voice even now managing to touch so many people, we follow a reporter on the trail of the artist on behalf of a New York daily. Beyond the public scandals that marred the life of the star (alcohol, drugs, violence...), he seeks to restore the truth, revisiting the memory of Billie.

Through this investigation, Muñoz and Sampayo trace, through the undertones of racism, and in the wake of the blues, the slow drift of a singer who expressed the deepest emotions in jazz, creating not just a biography but a spell-binding art book tribute.

Emerging readers will love the silly punchlines and feel confident reading this simple, decodable text on their own.
