Blacksad!

The American 1950’s are often remembered through rose-colored glasses. But these were dangerous and tumultuous times. Mounting racial tensions, the Red Scare, and nuclear warfare, constant threats, lurked just below the surface. Day to day life had changed radically and rapidly with the advent of television, the interstate highway system, and the sprawl of suburbia. Under the flimsy facade of tidy innocence, instability and volatility had begun to boil over. Corruption and greed, ever present human qualities, had began to take the lead. John Blacksad, bicolor cat, Private Investigator, and protagonist of Blacksad, has his work cut out for him.
Wake Up Call
Posted: May 14, 2014 by Kristilyn Waite in Art, Comicology - Comic Books, Dark Horse ComicsTags: biography, Bryan Talbot, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes, Finnegan's Wake, James Joyce, James S. Atherton, Mary M. Talbot, memoir, The Books at Wake
A literary graphic novel if ever there were one, The Dotter of Her Father’s Eyes is a hybrid of sorts. Partly, it is a biography of James Joyce’s daughter Lucia, a once promising ballerina who spent the last thirty years of her life in a mental institution. But Lucia’s tragic story is told via author Mary M. Talbot’s memoir. An account of her own childhood and relationship with her father, James S. Atherton, one of the world’s foremost Joycean scholars, the story explores Talbot’s ensuing and inevitable affinity with Lucia.
The Real Fifth Beatle
Posted: April 23, 2014 by Kristilyn Waite in Art, Comicology - Comic Books, Dark Horse ComicsTags: Andrew C. Robinson, Brian Epstein, Dark Horse Comics, Eisner Award, Paul McCartney, The Beatles, The Fifth Beatle, Vivek J. Tiwary
We’ve all heard about the imprint the Beatles left on the world. We’ve seen the footage of those four handsome boys with matching mop tops and Pierre Cardin suits performing in vain before mobs of young banshees whose sobbing, swooning, and rapture were well beyond disruptive. By the end of the 1960‘s it was clear that a sort of paradigm shift had occurred in American culture, and, chicken or egg, Beatlemania is integral to that story. The Fab Four saw an entire generation through an era unparalleled in social tumult, metamorphosis, and mythology. While it’s difficult, in the here and now, to imagine a world without the Beatles, The Fifth Beatle : The Brian Epstein Story, writer/producer Vivek Tiwary’s love letter to the band’s original manager, reveals the underlying serendipity of it all.

Avatar: The Search
by Dark Horse Comics
Perhaps one of the most burning questions amongst Avatar: The Last Airbender fans was a question posed at the end of Book 3, where Zuko visits ex-Fire Lord Ozai and prison and asks, “Where is my mother”. Fans were outraged that one of the most interesting stories within the series was left open-ended. However, unbeknownst to many, the story of Avatar: The Last Airbender has been continuing in the form of a graphic novel series. One of the most recent story arcs, a 3-part series entitled Avatar: The Search finally revealed the whereabouts and backstory of Zuko’s mother, Ursa. Keep reading to find out what happened!
