Your Brain on Latino Comics
Though the field of comic book studies has burgeoned in recent years, Latino characters and creators have received little attention. Putting the spotlight on this vibrant segment, Your Brain on Latino Comics illuminates the world of superheroes Firebird, Vibe, and the new Blue Beetle while also examining the effects on readers who are challenged to envision such worlds. Exploring mainstream companies such as Marvel and DC as well as rising stars from other segments of the industry, Frederick Aldama provides a new reading of race, ethnicity, and the relatively new storytelling medium of comics themselves. Overview chapters cover the evolution of Latino influences in comics, innovations, and r...
The Entity
The International Bestseller "A true story that surpasses any novel by John le Carré."—El País (Spain) For five centuries, the Vatican—the oldest organization in the world, maker of kings and shaper of history—has used a secret spy service, called the Holy Alliance, or later, the Entity, to carry out its will. Forty popes have relied on it to carry out their policies. They have played a hitherto invisible role confronting de-Christianizations and schisms, revolutions and dictators, colonizations and expulsions, persecutions and attacks, civil wars and world wars, assassinations and kidnappings. For the first time in English (following the bestselling Spanish and French editions), Eri...
Mystery Women, Volume Three (Revised)
Like other fictional characters, female sleuths may live in the past or the future. They may represent current times with some level of reality or shape their settings to suit an agenda. There are audiences for both realism and escapism in the mystery novel. It is interesting, however, to compare the fictional world of the mystery sleuth with the world in which readers live. Of course, mystery readers do not share one simplistic world. They live in urban, suburban, and rural areas, as do the female heroines in the books they read. They may choose a book because it has a familiar background or because it takes them to places they long to visit. Readers may be rich or poor; young or old; conse...

Noche antigua
Al comienzo de todo, los viejos nos cuentan, el cosmos estaba callado y quieto. Solo la luna brillaba redonda en la vasta y estrellada oscuridad del cielo. David Álvarez es uno de los artistas más extraordinarios de la actualidad. Sus ilustraciones en blanco y negro le han ganado fama en su país de origen, México, y en todo el mundo. Ahora, con Noche antigua, David muestra por primera vez su inmenso talento con ilustraciones a todo color. Noche antigua es un giro en dos tradiciones indígenas: el conejo que la Serpiente Emplumada Quetzalcóatl colocó en la luna, y Yaushu, el Señor Tlacuache que gobernó la tierra antes de que dominaran los humanos, y que robó el fuego de los dioses para dar calor a sus súbditos. El galardonado autor David Bowles ha escrito un texto poético —y un apéndice cuidosamente investigado— para acompañar las ilustraciones e historia opulentas de Álvarez. El libro se publicará simultáneamente en inglés y español, brindando a los jóvenes lectores de todo el mundo la oportunidad de saborear este antiguo cuento en el formato más bello posible.
