Magdin, prince of a mythical European realm, has a vision--a vision his father, the King, turns into military strategy. Once thought a simpleton, Magdin is hailed as a seer, but no one realizes that his visions are merely poetic retellings of history lessons learned from his tutor. But in a land torn by war and religious bigotry, a secret such as this cannot be kept for long...and soon Magdin is a critical pawn in a game of savage political intrigue. Written by Paul Chadwick. Painted art and cover by John Bolton. Mature Readers. FC, 32 pg. Cover price $2.95.

Creative Director ORSON SCOTT CARD. Written by JAKE BLACK. Art and Cover by TIMOTHY GREEN II. Zeck Morgan was raised by his minister father to be a pious, God-fearing child, devoted to his church.

Story and art by Nathan Pyle.

In bright pinks, blues, greens, and purples, the inhabitants of Strange Planet are at once charming, strange, and recognizable. The game is human behaviors labeled in plain language and acted out by adorable aliens; on Strange Planet, we are invited to take a step back and celebrate our own previously unexamined practices of surprise parties, visits from the tooth fairy, and cleaning before having company. The labeling of common occurrences like sunburn as "Star Damage" and sweet dreams as "Imagine Pleasant Nonsense" has struck an immediate chord, with thousands of posts and tweets using these phrases in instant recognition.

1st printing. Written by Lise Lunge-Larsen. Art by Gareth Hinds. Did you know that "museums" were initially temples built to worship the nine muses, the goddesses of the arts? That "Janus" was the god of the doorways and hallways, and after him we have named our janitors? Where did these words - and other words, such as chaos, genius, nemesis, panic, echo, and narcissus - come from? From the ancient stories of the Greeks, stories that rang so true and wise that the names of the characters have survived for centuries as words we use every day. The brief stories here not only impart the subtle wisdom of these ancient tales, but make us understand the words, and our own world, more deeply. Hardcover, 96 pages, full color.
