1st printing. Story and art by Fabian Gregoire. Jessie is familiar with small seaplanes. After all, she was born in one eleven years ago, and her father makes his living flying them over the forests and lakes of Canada's Northwest Coast. She has been aboard on many flights but this one was different. It was a routine trip until an engine caught fire and Jessie's father was forced to ditch the plane in Petrel Channel. Soon they hear the sound of another seaplane, a "Norseman", which has come to the rescue. Everyone boards the plane but it's a tight squeeze. There is an extra, very large passenger: a grizzly bear. It is tranquilized at the moment but as the plane takes off and the bear begins to stir, the zoo director accompanying the animal admits that perhaps he didn't administer enough sedative! Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 48 pages, full color. Cover price $18.95.

1st printing. Story and art by Florent Silloray. Robert Capa: A Graphic Biography is a brilliant portrayal of the career of the great war photographer who, at the time of his death in 1954, had only one wish: to be an unemployed war photographer. Born in 1913 in Budapest, Endre Friedmann studied journalism and political science and worked in a photo agency darkroom. In 1933, Friedmann went to Paris where he shared a darkroom with Henri Cartier-Bresson. Together they contrived the name and image "Robert Capa, famous American photographer." Capa made several trips to document the Spanish Civil War, and he went abroad with the US army to record Allied involvement in WWII, including D-Day on Omaha beach. Even now, it is his D-Day images that marked him as the world's greatest war photographer. Hardcover, 8-in.x 11-in., 88 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.
