This striking graphic edition adapts the first half of the New York Times bestselling The British Are Coming, the opening volume in Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinsons extraordinary trilogy about the American Revolution From the battles at Lexington and Concord in the spring of 1775 through the Siege of Boston in 1776, American militiamen and the newly created Continental Army take on the worlds most formidable adversary: the British Empire. The gripping saga is alive with astonishing characters: Henry Knox, the former bookseller with an uncanny understanding of artillery; Nathanael Greene, the blue-eyed bumpkin who becomes a brilliant battle captain; Benjamin Franklin, the self-made man who proves to be the wiliest of diplomats; and George Washington, the commander in chief who learns the difficult art of leadership when the war seems all but lost.

1st printing. Story and art by Hervé Bourhis. A "little square book" focused on English pop culture since 1962 when the country began its revolution! Because it was in 1962, 60 years ago, that the 'ole Albion, that of the monarchy, tea and crumpets and bowler hats took a resolutely modern turn, thanks to a sexy secret agent, a band from Liverpool, and a mini (skirt and car). From the eccentric to the ultra-conservative, from James Bond to AstraZeneca, from Bowie to Banksy, including After Eight and the Teletubbies, year after year, all things Brit are covered! Hardcover, 9-in. x 9-in., 272 pages, full color. Cover price $34.99.

1st printing. By Greg Carpenter. Moore. Gaiman. Morrison. They came from Northampton, West Sussex, and Glasgow, and even though they spoke with different dialects, they gave American comics a new voice, one loud and clear enough to speak to the postmodern world. Like a triple-helix strand of some advanced form of DNA, their careers have remained irrevocably intertwined. Taken individually, their professional histories provide an incomplete picture of the British Invasion, but together they redefined the concept of what it means to be a comic book writer. Collectively, their story becomes the story of mainstream comics in the modern era. It's the story you're about to read. Softcover, 6-in.x 9-in., 492 pages, Text Only. Cover price $19.99.

1st printing. Written by Garth Ennis. Art and cover by Colin Wilson. Robert Britton, known to friend and foe alike as Battler, is a RAF Wing Commander assigned to work alongside an American fight squadron, but the US pilots are not at all keen on submitting to British command, and when orders arrive to begin operations from a new base deep behind enemy lines – directly under the Germans noses – Battler is not at all sure the two units can cooperate successfully. When allies fail to fight as one, only their opponents win – and the Nazi fighters, forever hovering in the blazing desert sun, are quick to scent an opportunity. Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and Colin Wilson (Judge Dredd, Blueberry) present one of British Comics most fondly remembered characters in a brand new adventure, as deadly dogfights erupt mere feet above the earth, bullets rip through fuel tanks and airframes, and mens destinies are decided in the blink of an eye: Battler Britton flies again.

By Jochen Ecke.

In the 1980s, as comics readers grew older, fans started calling for more sophisticated stories. They were also no longer just following the adventures of popular characters; writers and artists with distinctive styles were in demand. DC Comics and Marvel went looking for such mavericks and found them in the United Kingdom. Creators like Alan Moore (Watchmen, Saga of the Swamp Thing), Grant Morrison (The Invisibles, Flex Mentallo) and Garth Ennis (Preacher) migrated from the anarchical British comics industry to the U.S. mainstream and shook up the status quo yet came to rely on the genius of the American system.

Story and art by Owen D. Pomery.

Working for the British High Commission, Harrison Fleet is posted to a remote arctic island which is still, inexplicably, under British rule. As he struggles to understand why, and what interests he is protecting, Harrison learns just how much of the land and its community lies in the shadow cast by the outpost's founder.

Caught between hostile locals, the British Government, and an unforgiving physical environment, he begins dragging dark secrets into the light, unaware of the tragic repercussions they will cause. And help is very, very far away. Part noir, part historical mystery, British Ice explores the consequences of colonialism and the legacy of empire.
