Oppenheimer meets Mad Men in this multiple Eisner Award nominated, twisted tale of science and fame gone terribly wrong. "SCIENCE IS THE NEW ROCK 'N' ROLL!" ''When a writer-artist team is truly clicking, something magical can happen, and it does here. Mr. Stephenson and Mr. Bellegarde juggle multiple characters and locations—in geography and in time—yet personalities and appearances remain distinct. The creative team has also supplied realistic ephemera—personal letters, magazine covers and interviews, World Corp. logos and advertisements—that enrich the experience and fill-in the back story. Nowhere Men has a lot to absorb, and that's most welcome at a time when some comic books take only minutes to read.'' — The New York Times So said Dade Ellis, Simon Grimshaw, Emerson Strange, and Thomas Walker at the dawn of a new age of enlightenment that ushered in a boom in scientific advancement. As the research supergroup World Corp., they became the most celebrated scientists of all time. They changed the world-and we loved them for it. But where did it all go wrong? And when progress is made at any and all cost, who ultimately pays the price? Set in a world where science wins, Nowhere Men is the story of a group of scientists who usher in a boom of scientific advancement. As the research “supergroup” World Corp, Dade Ellis, Simon Grimshaw, Emerson Strange, and Thomas Walker became the most celebrated scientists of all time. They changed the world and were loved for it in the same way The Beatles were adored in the ‘60s, but like the Fab Four, their differences—including a dispute over how to handle a secret experiment gone wrong—fractures their partnership. That secret experiment comes back to haunt the company’s surviving members and threatens to change each of them in different and horrifying ways, and destroy everything they've worked to achieve. On one level, Nowhere Men is an expansive sci-fi drama that encompasses everything from cybernetics to genetic transformation and superpowers, but on the other, it’s an exploration of the love-hate relationship we have with pop idols in a complex, larger than life world based on mid-20th century futurism. An science-fiction story set in the sleek, mid-century modern world of Mad Men and perfect for fans of Chernobyl and Oppenheimer. Collects Nowhere Men issues #1-6.

There used to be a time when designers were trained in the history of composition. Now you just buy a f#$kin' piece of software and now you've become a designer. ''Art Chantry . . Is he a Luddite?'' asks a Rhode Island School of Design poster promoting a Chantry lecture. ''Or is he a graphic design hero?'' For decades this avatar of low-tech design has fought against the cheap and easy use of digital software. Chantry's homage to expired technology, and his inspired use of Xerox machines and X-Acto blade cuts of printed material, created a much-copied style during the grunge period and beyond. Chantry's designs were published in Some People Can't Surf: The Graphic Design of Art Chantry (Chronicle Books), exhibited at the Seattle Art Museum, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, and the Louvre. Chantry has drawn upon his extraordinary collection of twentieth-century graphic art to create compelling histories of the forgotten and unknown on essays he originally posted on his Facebook page. These essays might lionize the unrecognized illustrators of screws, wrenches, and pipes in equipment catalogs. Other posts might reveal how some famous artists were undeservedly recognized. Art Chantry Speaks is the kind of opinionated art history you've always wanted to read but were never assigned.

Carl Barks delivers another superb collection of clever plot twists, laugh-out-loud comedy, and all-around cartooning brilliance. Donald gives Uncle Scrooge a parrot for his birthday but the feathered troublemaker escapes with the combination to Scrooge’s safe holding “ninety tons of money.” Hijinks ensue as Donald and his nephews set off on an unexpected adventure to recover the lovesick bird. Then, Donald and the boys are shanghaied by a mysterious stranger, who whisks them off to face perils in the desert in “Ancient Persia,” where they uncover a lost city—and its reconstituted inhabitants! And Barks cuts loose from his regular panel designs to deliver one of his finest stories, “Vacation Time” (it has its own Wikipedia page), as Donald displays unusual depths of courage and heroism when he has to rescue Huey, Dewey, and Louie on a wilderness outing gone wrong.
