IGN BEST ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL AWARD WINNER Inspired by true events, PRIDE OF BAGHDAD is a provocative, visually spectacular graphic novel that follows four lions who escaped from the Baghdad Zoo during the American invasion of Iraq. Celebrating 20 years since it was first published, this special anniversary edition features a new cover and never-before-seen extras from Saga writer Brian K. Vaughan and Spectators artist Niko Henrichon. Select praise for PRIDE OF BAGHDAD: "Deeply moving." — Los Angeles Times Book Review (Starred Review) "Lavishly drawn, and devastating…. Vaughan has his marvelously imagined characters debate the concept of freedom versus desire for safety… the total effect is memorable." — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "This is an important work, strongly recommended for all adult collections." — Library Journal (Starred Review) "Lushly illustrated by Niko Henrichon." — The New York Times "A brightly colored tragedy, Pride of Baghdad is as unblinking as the perils faced every day in the real Iraq." — USA Today "Seems destined to cement the reputation of Brian K. Vaughan as one of the best writers to grace the medium in many years." — Variety "You can put it right next to Watchmen. It's that good." — IGN

When her semi-estranged and penniless hoarder father dies, Erin Messina is tasked with cleaning out his house before the bank forecloses on it. This otherwise thankless task is given a purpose, however, when she remembers the original Picasso drawing her father was gifted in 1964. She enlists her teenage son, Jackson, to spend spring break looking for their possible ticket to long-term financial stability. Jackson, resentful and eager to shirk responsibility, befriends twin skateboarders who live in the hood, and tell him about the violent murder that happened directly across the street from his grandfather's home -- and the murderer who still lives there. Emotional baggage, paranoia, and frayed nerves stretch the Messina's relationship to the brink, as The Mess careens to a thrilling final act that includes... two-way radio communication with the dead? Over the past decade, Noah Van Sciver has established himself as the most versatile graphic novelist working today. Whether it be in the service of straight-up satire (Fante Bukowski, Beat It, Rufus!), serious historical nonfiction (Joseph Smith and the Mormons, The Hypo: The Melancholic Young Lincoln), autobiography (As a Cartoonist, One Dirty Tree), or books for younger readers (Calamity Before Jane, Johnny Appleseed), Van Sciver's singular voice and style has proven remarkably malleable to the needs of each project. With The Mess, Van Sciver stakes yet new creative ground as a fiction writer, crafting the most magnetic and literary work of his career. The Mess is a brilliant, original graphic novel infused with drama, laughs, pathos, and suspense, beautifully drawn and colored in Van Sciver's immersive and intimate style.

Palomar is the perfect entry into the works of critically acclaimed cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez and the still-ongoing Love and Rockets comic book series! It stars the inhabitants of a small Latin American town -- long-suffering midwife/sheriff Chelo; Pipo, tomboy-turned-heartthrob; Carmen, wryer than her years; teen boys Heraclio, Satch, Augustin, Jesus, Israel, and Vicente, whose paths diverge and intersect over time; Diana and Tonantzin, sisters and polar opposites; and many other finely drawn and dynamic characters -- whose already-tempestuous lives are roiled when Luba, an assertive single mother, moves there to set up a bathing business. Palomar is a selection from the first 50 issues (1985-1996) of Hernandez's multigenerational saga, which has followed the lives and loves, adventures and horrors, of his signature characters, their children, and their children's children -- borne from a place where the mystical is quotidian and the quotidian is mystical -- for 40+ years. These are the stories that forever changed the face (and the heart) of American comics.
