1st printing. Written by Daniel Marston and Carter Malkasian. Throughout history armies of occupation and civil power have been repeatedly faced with the challenges of insurgency. British and American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan has highlighted this form of conflict in the modern world. Armies, sometimes reluctantly, have had to adopt new doctrines and tactics to deal with the problems of insurgency and diverse counterinsurgency strategies have been developed, ranging from conventional operations to a combination of propaganda and political strategy. Here, 13 authors examine the development of counterinsurgency from the early 20th century to the present. Including information on the Arab-Israeli conflict, Afghanistan and Iraq this book is a timely and accessible survey of a critical facet of modern warfare. Hardcover, 304 pages, Text (with B&W maps) Cover price $27.95.

1st printing. Inspired by the Story by L. M. Montgomery. Written by Rey Terciero. Art and cover by Claudia Aguirre. Despite a life on the road with his free-spirited mother, fifteen-year-old Dan Stewart-Álvarez has always wanted to settle down. He just didn't think it'd be like this: with his mother abandoning him in rural Tennessee with two strangers-his gentle grandmother and conservative, rough-around-the-edges grandfather. Here, he is forced to adjust to working the farm, entering high school, and hardest yet-reckoning with his queerness in a severe Southern Baptist community. But even as Dan grows closer to his mawmaw, befriends fellow outsiders at school, and tries to make a new life for himself in Green Gables, he has to discover whether he can contend with intolerance and adapt to change without losing himself in the process. From award-winning author Rey Terciero and Eisner Award nominee and illustrator Claudia Aguirre comes a new retelling of Anne of Green Gables about unconventional families, queer identity, and finding the meaning of home in the most unlikely of places. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 7-in., 256 pages, full color. Cover price $17.99.

By Thierry Gronesteen and Aaron Miller.

In The Expanding Art of Comics: Ten Modern Masterpieces prominent scholar Thierry Groensteen offers a distinct perspective on important evolutions in comics since the 1960s through close readings of ten seminal works.

He covers over half a century of comics production, sampling a single work from the sixties (Ballad of the Salt Sea by Hugo Pratt), seventies (The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius by Moebius), eighties (Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons), and nineties (Epileptic by David B.). Then this remarkable critic, scholar, and author of The System of Comics and Comics and Narration delves into recent masterpieces, such as Building Stories by Chris Ware. Plus: Fun Home by Alison Bechdel; Pretending is Lying by Dominique Goblet; The Arrival by Shaun Tan; Habibi by Craig Thompson; and The Grand Narrative: Alpha, Beta by Jens Harder.
