Revised/Updated Edition - 1st printing.

By Paul Sammon.

Thirty-five years after Blade Runner's original release, the highly anticipated, long-awaited sequel will re-acclimate fans to the dystopian, neo-noir futuristic world of Blade Runner.

In Future Noir, insider and cinephile Paul M. Sammon offers them a deeper understanding of this cult phenomenon that is storytelling and visual filmmaking at its best. An intensive, intimate and anything-but-glamorous behind-the-scenes account, Future Noir explores how Ridley Scott purposefully used his creative genius to transform the work of science fiction's most uncompromising author into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic that would reinvent the genre.

The revised edition includes a new chapter on Blade Runner: The Final Cut, a new chapter on the sequel Blade Runner 2049, a 2007 interview with Harrison Ford, and an exclusive new interview with Rutger Hauer.

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 480 pages, B&W.

Story and art by Nathan Hale.

The Louisiana Purchase (1803) is today seen as one of history's greatest bargains. But why did Napoleon Bonaparte sell this seemingly prosperous territory? At the time, France controlled Haiti, and there, slaves were used to harvest sugar. But in 1791, Toussaint Louverture led the largest slave uprising in human history, the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804).

Napoleon had originally wanted to use Louisiana for trade, but with Haiti out of his control, Napoleon's dream of making a French empire in North America seemed doomed. So when Thomas Jefferson offered to buy New Orleans, Napoleon sold the whole Louisiana Territory to the United States.
