Joe Sacco's breakthrough work of graphic journalism - a now-established genre almost single handedly invented by Sacco - won the American Book Award upon its initial release in 1996, and has remained a perennial, essential work for understanding the Palestinian Israeli conflict in the Middle East. This new hardcover edition includes a new afterword by Israeli journalist Amira Hass and also features Palestinian academic and critic Edward W. Said's timeless 2001 introduction to the work. Based on several years of research and an extended visit to the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the early 1990s, where he conducted over 100 interviews with Palestinians and Jews, Palestine was the first major comics work of political and historical nonfiction by Sacco, whose name has since become synonymous with this graphic form of New Journalism. Like Safe Area Gorazde, Palestine has been favorably compared to Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus for its ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically sensitive subject matter through the immersive lens of the comic book medium. Sacco has often been called the first comic book journalist, and he is certainly the best.

Batman: The Arkham Saga Omnibus is the ultimate companion to the best-selling Batman: Arkham series of video games! This volume collects all the games' action-packed backstories, from the volatile beginnings of Batman: Arkham Origins to the dark and deadly story of Batman: Arkham Knight Genesis and everything in between. The Dark Knight was young, inexperienced and untested when he began his one-man war to save the soul of Gotham City. The vigilante known as Batman was new to the city's dark streets, and his errors were costly. Though his mind, body and arsenal of crime-fighting gear were all honed to near-perfection, his methods were yet unproven. But Batman's rookie lessons were just the prelude to far more desperate tales. Despite becoming an outlaw himself after quelling the Arkham Asylum riots, the World's Greatest Detective takes it on his shoulders to unravel why the new mayor, Quincy Sharp, wants to create Arkham City--a section of Gotham where heinous criminals and the insane can roam freely. Now not only is the Dark Knight up against City Hall, but also the amassing armies of his numerous enemies--the Penguin, Two-Face and even The Joker himself. On top of the machinations of Batman's full rogues gallery, a new vigilante emerges--the Arkham Knight. It's a life-or-death battle unlike any other for the Caped Crusader's allies and enemies, with no end in sight!
