1st printing. Written by Jarrett Dapier. Art and cover by AJ Dungo. In this empowering graphic novel based on a true story, a group of high schoolers in Chicago work to overturn the system-wide ban of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis. It starts as an update at one Chicago high school: copies of a certain book are no longer allowed in the classrooms or the library. But its not just one high school—its all Chicago public schools. Not even the principals know why this is happening; they just know they must comply with the order. One thing is clear: The book, which tells a story of oppression, survival, and resistance against authoritarian power, is seen as a threat, dangerous enough to ban. One other thing is clear: Some of the students arent going to let this go without resistance of their own. As the extent of the ban becomes known, the students rise up. They organize a school-wide walkout and library sit-in. They publicize the banning in every forum they can: social media, the press, classes, clubs, the school paper. And most of all, they get everyone they know to read the book: Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi. Told from multiple perspectives, based on extensive interviews with the real-life students and teachers who were affected, and written by the librarian who exposed key information about the Chicago Public Schools censorship decision, Wake Now in the Fire is a fictionalized account of a true event that galvanized a community. With illustrations by Alex Award-winner AJ Dungo that perfectly capture the everyday joys, heartbreak, and stresses of high school, this graphic novel is an inspiring portrayal of student activism taking on one of the most urgent issues of our time, and a passionate reminder of why protecting the books we love matters. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 464 pages, PC. Grades 9-12 Cover price $38.00.

Dark Reign tie-in!

Who is the Black Panther? After attending a secretive, mysterious meeting, T'Challa - the current Black Panther and ruler of Wakanda - returns home with severe injuries and locked in a comatose state. With no leads on who attacked her husband or why, Queen Ororo is thrust into a position of leadership.

While Ororo is tasked with ruling Wakanda, another task of dire importance awaits her.

Story and art by Gil Kane.

Legendary comic artist Gil Kane tells an epic sci-fi fantasy tale in the same vein as Spartacus and Gladiator.

In 1974, Gil Kane created Blackmark as a paperback series for Bantam Books. Kane was a comics artist specializing in super-heroes who had drawn every major character at DC and Marvel. Blackmark was his attempt to go "independent" and create a series which he could own, and whose creative direction he would control.

The first volume of this sword & sorcery/heroic fantasy narrative, designed and published in the paperback format, has been out of print for over 25 years, and the completed second volume was never published. Fantagraphics Books is proud to collect both volumes in a single trade book format, larger than the original paperback size to better showcase Kane's elegant line art!

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 250 pages, B&W.

1st printing. By Keza MacDonald. What magical mushroom could have turned an unassuming playing card company into one of the dominant cultural forces of the twenty-first century? Keza MacDonald pulls back the curtain on the Nintendo dream factory. —Walt Williams, author of Significant Zero Super Nintendo is an exuberant ode to play and the epic story of the company that has redefined it—Nintendo's quirky beginnings in 1889, its singular ethos, its endlessly innovative leaders and developers, its massive cultural impact, and, most of all, the video games themselves, which have inspired joy and creativity in millions. A lifelong gamer and a renowned video games journalist, Keza MacDonald digs down to Nintendos experimental roots, tracking the companys rise with each new revolutionary product. She draws on private interviews with icons like Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, who continues to leave his stamp on the company, and takes readers on a trip to the secretive Nintendo HQ—making her one of the few Western journalists to have set foot inside the building. Leaping from game to game, Super Nintendo tells the remarkable story of the people who brought us Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and more—not to mention the SNES, N64, Game Boy, Wii, Switch, and a host of other wacky gizmos—and charts the delights they've offered over the decades. Along the way, MacDonald uncovers the driving force behind these creative triumphs: a willingness to take risks and place long-term success over short-term profits. A carousel of wonders, Super Nintendo whisks you back to the couch in the den, a controller in your hands for the very first time, staring up at a screen of infinite possibilities. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9 1/2-in., 304 pages, Text Only. Cover price $32.00.
