All Star Dc Comics: All Star Superman $9.05 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: All Star Superman is a twelve-issue comic book series featuring Superman that ran from November 2005 to October 2008. The series was written by Grant Morrison, drawn by Frank Quitely, digitally inked by Jamie Grant and published by DC Comics. DC claimed that this series would “strip down the Man of Steel to his timeless, essential elements”. The series was the second to be launched in 2005 under DC’s All Star imprint, the first being All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder. These series are attempts by DC to allow major comics creators a chance to tell stories showcasing these characters without being restricted by DC Universe continuity. Grant Morrison’s approach to writing this series was to make the reading as universal as possible. He stated that he wasn’t interested in “re-doing origin stories or unpacking classic narratives” but instead wanted to do “a total update, rehaul and refit”. However, rather than just creating a “fresh and relevant” update for new readers, Morrison wanted to write a “collection of timeless Superman issues”. The origins of this lie in a revamp of Superman, Superman Now, which began when Morrison and editor Dan Raspler were unsuccessfully brainstorming ideas for a new take on the character outside the San Diego Comic Con, when they had a “shamanic” encounter with a man dressed as Superman which helped spark the creative process and inspired the cover to the first issue: The ideas generated by that meeting were refined and pitched to DC in 1998 by Morrison, Mark Millar, Mark Waid and Tom Peyer. They picked up on the fifteen-year cycle of reboots to the character, the previous one being John Byrne’s The Man of Steel, and suggested a new approach: Although initially greenlit, it was eventually turned down and Morr… More:

Chapters: V for Vendetta, Tank Girl, Batman: Anarky, the Invisibles, Trashman, the Adventures of Tintin: Breaking Free, Minimum Security, Anarchy Comics. Excerpt: Batman: Anarky is a 1999 trade paperback published by DC Comics. The book collects prominent appearances of Anarky, a comic book character created by Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle. Although all of the collected stories were written by Alan Grant, various artists contributed to individual stories. Dual introductions were written by the creators both of whom introduce the character and give insight into their role in Anarky’s creation and development. Featured as an antagonist in various Batman comics during the 90′s, stories based on the character were highly thematic, political, and philosophical in tone. The majority of the collected stories (“Anarky in Gotham City”, “Anarky: Tomorrow Belongs to Us”, “Anarky”) are influenced by the philosophy of anarchism, while the final story (“Metamorphosis”) is influenced by Neo-Tech. Although anti-statism is the overarching theme of the collection, other concepts are explored. Anarky’s characterization was expanded throughout the stories to present him first as a libertarian socialist and anarchist, and in the final story as a vehicle for explorations into atheism, rationalism, and bicameralism. Literary references are also utilized throughout the collected stories to stress the philosophical foundations of the character. The collection also tracks the character’s evolution from a petty, street-crime fighting vigilante, to a competent freedom fighter in opposition to powerful forces of evil. Critics have positively received some of the stories within the collection, analyzing Anarky as a unique force for political commentary and discussion within DC C… More:

Bat-Manga!: The Secret History of Batman in Japan $33.2 The two hottest genres in comics gleefully collide head-on, as the most beloved American superhero gets the coolest Japanese manga makeover ever. In 1966, during the height of the first Batman craze, a weekly Japanese manga anthology for boys, Shonen King, licensed the rights to commission its own Batman and Robin stories. A year later, the stories stopped. They were never collected in Japan, and never translated into English. Now, in this gorgeously produced book, hundreds of pages of Batman-manga comics more than four decades old are translated for the first time, appearing alongside stunning photographs of the world’s most comprehensive collection of vintage Japanese Batman toys. This is The Dynamic Duo as you’ve never seen them: with a distinctly Japanese, atomic-age twist as they battle aliens, mutated dinosaurs, and villains who won’t stay dead. And as a bonus: Jiro Kuwata, the manga master who originally wrote and drew this material, has given an exclusive interview for our book. More than just a dazzling novelty, Bat-Manga! is an invaluable, long-lost chapter in the history of one of the most beloved and timeless figures in comics.
