Story and art by Thi Bui.

Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Thi Bui documents the story of her family's daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves.

At the heart of Bui's story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent - the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home.

By Susan Wilking Horan and Kristi ing Spencer. Foreword by Zac Psen.

If there's one thing Betty Boop knows, it's how to make a lasting impression.

For more than 80 years, the glamorous international icon has sung, sashayed, and "Boop-Oop-a-Dooped" past rules and conventions, unafraid to take risks or set trends, and proving time after time that she can do anything she sets her mind to! Here the authors take ten empowering and universally inspiring themes pulled directly from the classic Fleischer Studios Betty Boop cartoons and demonstrate why they're more relevant than ever in today's world by blending them with modern images and timeless wisdom and advice.

Written by Matt Medney and John Connelly. Art and cover by Utku Ozden.

There is no Drake Equation. There is no question on sentience. The galaxy is alive and filled with life. The only issue: we humans aren't invited.

The Galactic Star Alliance has been alive and well for millions of earth years. Hundreds of thousands of sentient worlds and trillions of beings walk, run, and crawl across the many home worlds of the Alliance. If our galaxy is so full of sentient life, why has no one said hello? We thought of a simple, logical reason: no one wants to.

In this illustrated novel humankind acknowledges the vastness of time, the cyclical nature of civilization, and the obscurity of our own history.

The Galactic Star Alliance awaits your exploration.

Written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Art by Roy G. Krenkel. Frontispiece by Mark Schultz. Cover by Frank Frazetta. Preface by Christopher Paul Carey. Introduction by Paul Di Filippo.

When Nazi warplanes blast an American fighter pilot out of the sky, he awakens not in the expected afterlife but on a far-flung planet - one of eleven interconnected worlds hurtling around a strangely constructed star system.

On Poloda, he earns a new name - Tangor, one who came from nothing-and a new home among the brave people of Unis, a nation locked in perpetual war against the brutish, totalitarian Kapars. But when news comes of a powerful invention that could turn the tides of the conflict, Tangor must undertake a daring undercover mission behind enemy lines. There, in vile Kapara, he will not only risk life and limb, but also brand himself as a traitor in the eyes of his newfound friends, as he continues his fight for freedom beyond the farthest star!

What has been unknown to readers is that the 1941 Blue Book magazine publication comprising Part I of Beyond the Farthest Star was heavily edited, with a substantial number of line edits on almost every page and several lengthy and meaningful passages-some more than a page long-excised throughout. That altered and abridged text was used as the basis for all book editions of the novel-until now. We are pleased to announce that we have gone back to Edgar Rice Burroughs' original typescript restoring the author's preferred text of the novel. Beyond the Farthest Star: Restored Edition features a newly commissioned frontispiece by renowned artist Mark Schultz; classic interior illustrations by Roy G. Krenkel; an introduction by noted science fiction author Paul Di Filippo; a preface by ERB, Inc.

Director of Publishing Christopher Paul Carey discussing the restorations to the text; maps of the planet Poloda and the Omos star system; a diagram of the Unisan alphabet and numbers; and an extensive section of rare and previously unpublished bonus materials mined from the archives of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.

What's to Love: For our first prose novel spinning out of the Big Trouble in Little China universe, we went to self-professed fan, movie expert, author, and RiffTrax writer/performer Matthew J. Elliot, and he wrote a pillars of heaven-shaking adventure set in Cold War Russia that was simply perfect for Jack Burton and company. Taking place days after the film ends, (and if you're following along in our comics, it's set after Jack meets the monster on his truck but before he attends Wang's wedding), you can relax: a new Jack Burton adventure is here with Big Trouble in Mother Russia!

What It Is: Ol' Jack Burton is back, and he brought some old friends, and a few old enemies along for a brand-new adventure in a brand-new setting. A lot of people want to get their hands on Jack, including the KGB, the Russian mob, and his old enemies from Big Trouble in Little China, the Wing Kong. Lost on the streets of Moscow, he can only rely on the trusty Wang Chi and the lovely Gracie Law to help him unlock a centuries-old mystery that could tear apart the fabric of reality. Can he do it? Like he told his ex-wife, it's all in the reflexes... Featuring spot illustrations by Elena Casagrande (Doctor Who).
