1st printing. By Rak Razam. Foreword by Dennis J. McKenna. Aya Awakening's strong adventure narrative and the mythic attraction of shamanism will appeal to alternative-minded counterculture seekers hungry for a bold story with a spiritual premise; new age and body, mind, and spirit readers; and global backpackers interested in psychedelics. In areas of Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru, the traditional herbal brew known as ayahuasca or yajé is legally used to heal physical ailments and to cleanse and purify the spirit by connecting it to the web of life; Sting and Tori Amos have admitted sampling it in Latin America, as has Paul Simon, who chronicled the experience in his song "Spirit Voices." In this book, Rak Razam, an Australian journalist, sets out to document the thriving business of 21st-century Amazonian hallucinogenic shamanism. Starting with a trip to the 7th annual Amazonian Shaman Conference in Iquitos, Peru, Razam meets a motley crew of "spiritual tourists," rogue scientists, black magicians, and indigenous and Western shamans, all in search of the experience offered by the ritual--and the medicine--of ayahuasca, "the vine of souls." During his research, Razam finds himself diving deeper into the shamanic lifestyle. Combining his personal story with the history of Amazonian shamanism, Razam takes the reader along on his enlightening adventure. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 512 pages, Text. Cover price $26.95.

Cover by Raulman. by Scott Davis & Abdullah Not all heroes are blessed with understanding or even control of their powers. And not all heroes, given powers to rival the Greek gods, are given Olympus' blessing. So it's no wonder that former legal assistant and current hero-in-training Camelot is having a bad day, only it's about to get worse! His rent is late, the gods are gunning for him and to top it all off, the nefarious Captain Steel is creating havoc of epic proportions. What's a hero to do? The Odyssey returns with a story that shows it takes more than a cape and a cool name to be a hero. Cover price $3.50.

Written by Jack Mitchell. Art by Jessica Benhar. Cover by Diane Shaw.

Journey to a galaxy far, far away like never before-through lyrical verse and meter.

Like the tales of Odysseus and Beowulf, the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Jyn Erso, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and the Emperor are fraught with legendary battles, iconic heroes, fearsome warriors, sleek ships, and dangerous monsters. Beginning with Rogue One's rebel heist on Scarif to secure the plans to the Death Star and continuing through the climax of Return of the Jedi, author Jack Mitchell uses the ancient literary form of epic poetry to put a new spin on the Star Wars saga.

Punctuated with stunning illustrations inspired by the terracotta art of Greek antiquity, The Odyssey of Star Wars: An Epic Poem presents the greatest myth of the 20th century as it might have been told nearly 3,000 years ago.

Hardcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 224 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations).

Story and art by Eve Gilbert.

Scott Camil grew up in the 1960s wanting to fight for his country. After graduation, Camil joins the Marines and is sent to Vietnam. There he encounters the incompetence of his superiors, the constant death of his friends, the rape and slaughter of Vietnamese women and children, eventually turning him into a ruthless killer. Upon his return to civilian life, Camil adopts a new cause: telling the American people the truth about Vietnam.

Eve Gilbert illustrates Camil's words with empathy, nuance, and the occasional splash of humor. It's a cautionary tale whose arc of suffering and transformation is just as relevant today.

1st printing. Story and art by Edel Rodriguez. Edel Rodriguez is among the most prominent political artists of our age. Now for the first time, he draws his own life, revisiting his childhood in Cuba and his family's passage on the infamous Mariel boatlift. When Edel was nine, Fidel Castro announced his surprising decision to let 125,000 traitors of the revolution, or "worms," leave the country. Edel's family's vocal discomfort with government surveillance had made their daily lives on a farm outside Havana precarious, and they secretly planned to leave. Before that happened, a dozen soldiers confiscated imprisoned them in a detention center near the port of Mariel, where they were held with dissidents and criminals before being marched to a flotilla that miraculously deposited them, overnight, in Florida. Through vivid, stirring art, Worm tells a story of a boyhood in the midst of the Cold War, a family's displacement in exile, and their tenacious longing for those they left behind. It also recounts the coming-of-age of an artist and activist, who, witnessing American's turn from democracy to extremism, struggles to differentiate his adoptive country from the dictatorship he fled. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 304 pages, full color. Cover price $29.99.
