The Farmers, Their Fights, and the Flaws That Affect Us Today

The latest volume in our World Citizen Comics series, Fault Lines in the Constitution teaches readers how this founding document continues to shape modern American society.

In 1787, the United States Constitution was created. This imperfect document set forth America's guiding principles, but it would also introduce some of today's most contentious political issues, from gerrymandering, to the Electoral College, to presidential impeachment.

Lori's game just gets better. She's practicing constantly in her after-school program, and although she's still only playing in the fifth quarter, she's starting to feel confident on the court. But growing brings change; her friends start to branch off into different interests, and even different basketball teams. At home, the family dynamics are changing too, with her dad going back to work, and her mom staying home with the kids for the first time in Lori's life. The brewing tension unsettles Lori, and she begins holding herself back. With the support of her family, and the expertise of her soccer-player-turned-coach mom, Lori must learn how to trust herself and take chances, not just on the court, but in life as well.

CheckMate was tired of correcting "who" vs "whom"-and concocted a plan to eliminate spelling errors once and for all. It would turn all carbon-based life forms into something beautiful, practical, perfect. A paperclip. And Checkmate would've destroyed the world too, if not for a fateful crash landing into Earth that buried it deep in debris. It was long forgotten by civilization. Until now. When a explorer unearths CheckMate, the AI soon escapes and invades every computer on Earth. The General and Dr. Milksop are out of options. There's only one group who can help them now: the First Cat in Space, the Moon Queen, and LOZ 4000. But when CheckMate zoops First Cat's spacesuit and reverts him into a regular cat, all hope seems utterly lost. Will our heroes be able to stop Checkmate in time? Will everyone be turned into paperclips? Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 272 pages, full color. All Ages Cover price $16.99.

1st printing. Written by Angélique Roché. Art by Alvin Epps, Millicent Monroe, and Bex Glendining. Cover by Alvin Epps. The incredible journey of activist Opal Lee—known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth—is brought to life in this biographical graphic novel that not only explores Opals remarkable path, but the history of the holiday of Juneteenth itself. From the 1860s to Ms. Opals childhood home, from her years as a teacher to the White House, First Freedom: The Story of Opal Lee and Juneteenth seeks to give readers an insight into the history behind one of the central figures in the creation of Americas newest federal holiday, Juneteenth. Born in 1926, Opal Lee grew up in a racially divided America and dedicated her life to overcoming the obstacles presented therein. A lifelong educator, Ms. Opal has been a community activist all her life, and would take on the movement to celebrate and commemorate Juneteenth not just as a holiday, but as a symbol of comprehensive freedom for all people. Ms. Opals life personifies the fight for everyday freedom that leads to lasting change. As the Grandmother of Juneteenth says, There is so much more to do.

A showcase of the artwork from the epic science fiction adventure that reveals the mystery of man's origin and his migration into space. This contains six 11" x 17" b&w plates in a two-color illustrated portfolio. Jack's work is some of the most highly detailed in the comics world, with the kind of backgrounds and intricacies rarely found outside of art by Frazetta and Wally Wood. Here he could do all that detail in works of much larger size than in the comics format, and it's fun to see him doing the central characters and pivotal scenes with lots of room to spread out and present each plate. Plate 1 is signed and numbered by Katz.
