1st printing. Edited by Martin Popoff and Malcolm Dome. Foreword by Lemmy Kilmister. Let's face it, without the larger-than-life character and imagination of the art that complements it, metal just wouldn't have had the same impact. From the colorful, outlandish, yet sophisticated use of visuals for album artwork and posters, to the immediately recognizable logos of such bands as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Metallica, Slayer, and a host of others across many subgenres, there's a close-knit relationship between the riffs that thunder from the guitar and the images that have come to represent the songs, anthems, and sheer nature of the beast. Every classic album brings to mind a readily identifiable album cover. Each great band has an immediately identifiable logo. This book explores the ways in which the art has helped define each of the crucial subgenres that make up the multifaceted and colorful centipede that is metal. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 240 pages, full color. Cover price $45.00.

Written by Matt Medney and John Connelly. Art and cover by Utku Ozden.

There is no Drake Equation. There is no question on sentience. The galaxy is alive and filled with life. The only issue: we humans aren't invited.

The Galactic Star Alliance has been alive and well for millions of earth years. Hundreds of thousands of sentient worlds and trillions of beings walk, run, and crawl across the many home worlds of the Alliance. If our galaxy is so full of sentient life, why has no one said hello? We thought of a simple, logical reason: no one wants to.

In this illustrated novel humankind acknowledges the vastness of time, the cyclical nature of civilization, and the obscurity of our own history.

The Galactic Star Alliance awaits your exploration.
