     Meet Jessica Jones...
    Once upon a time, she was a costumed super hero. But not a very good one. Her powers were unremarkable compared to the amazing abilities of the costumed icons that populate the Marvel Universe. In a city of Marvels, Jessica Jones never found her niche.
    Now a chain-smoking, self-destructive alcoholic with a mean inferiority complex, Jones is the owner and sole employee of Alias Investigations - a small, private-investigative firm specializing in superhuman cases.
    When she uncovers the potentially explosive secret of one hero's true identity, Jessica's life immediately becomes expendable. But her wit, charm and intelligence just may help her survive through another day. Thrust into the midst of a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels, has Jessica burned too many bridges to turn to old friends for help?

Chris Ware
Writer: Daniel Raeburn

Recommended for Young Adult readers
Description
"The most versatile and innovative artist the medium has ever known."
    -Dave Eggers, New York Times Book Review
     As one of today's most renowned cartoonists, Chris Ware is widely considered an artist of genius. Combining innovative comic book art, hand lettering, and graphic design, Ware's uniquely appealing work is characterized by ceaseless experimentation with narrative and graphic forms. The publication of his novel Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth in 2000 inspired a near avalanche of praise from critics and general readers alike. This book is the first to explore the life and work of Chris Ware.
     Daniel Raeburn looks closely at Ware's career, work methods, and artistic innovations. Born in Omaha in 1967, Ware introduced the character Jimmy Corrigan in a full-page strip he began writing for the Chicago tabloid New City. Combining six years' worth of the strips, Ware created the best-selling novel named after Jimmy that spans an Irish-American family's life in Chicago from the Civil War to the present. For its experiments in graphic form-including pull-out, three-dimensional inserts-and its non-chronological narrative, the novel earned numerous honors, among them the Guardian First Book Award, presented for the first time to a comic book.
     For this volume Raeburn interviewed Chris Ware for many hours to make fascinating connections between Jimmy Corrigan's fictional life and the life of his creator. Raeburn discusses the scope of Ware's career, including his drawings for New City, the New Yorker, and his own comic book, The Acme Novelty Library. As Raeburn shows, Ware's unique art form extends beyond the world of graphic novels into the broader worlds of literature, graphic art, and popular culture, and challenges traditional definitions of all three.

Recommended for Mature readers
Description
     The Sandman is the most acclaimed and award-winning comics series of the 1990s for good reason. A smart and deeply brooding epic, elegantly penned by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by a rotating cast of comics' most sought-after artists. It is a rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven. The saga of The Sandman encompasses a series of tales unique in graphic literature and is a story you will never forget.
    "A comic strip for intellectuals." - Norman Mailer
     "Like Tolkien, George MacDonald, John Crowley, or Leguin, Gaiman knows that the maturity of a fantasy is little more that the measure of its depth... for all its distant shimmerings Sandman has real substance. Its reveries seem strangely familiar - and not just because Morpheus would fit right in on St. Mark's Place." - Erik Davis, Village Voice Literary Supplement
     Enter a dark and enchanting world of dreams and nightmares and meet the Sandman, Master of Dreams, and his kin - The Endless. This first collection of Neil Gaiman's unique and multi-award-winning Sandman saga introduces key themes and characters, combining myth, magic and black humor.
     "Neil Gaiman's Sandman series is probably the state of the art as far as mainstream adult comics are concerned, a head-on collision of metaphysics, myth and mayhem."
     Originally published in single magazine form as The Sandman 1-8.
