Comic books February 2012

2nd and later printings. Written by Mary M. Talbot. Art and cover by Bryan Talbot. Part personal history, part biography, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes contrasts two coming- of-age narratives: that of Lucia, the daughter of James Joyce, and that of author Mary Talbot, daughter of the eminent Joycean scholar James S. Atherton. Social expectations and gender politics, thwarted ambitions and personal tragedy are played out against two contrasting historical backgrounds, poignantly evoked by the atmospheric visual storytelling of award-winning graphic-novel pioneer Bryan Talbot. Produced through an intense collaboration seldom seen between writers and artists, Dotter of Her Father's Eyes is smart, funny, and sad-an essential addition to the evolving genre of graphic memoir. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 8-in., 96 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $14.99.

Original Text Edition - 1st printing. Based on the story by Bram Stoker. Adapted by Jason Cobley. Art by Staz Johnson. "I went down into the vaults. There lay the Count! He was either dead or asleep, I could not say which -- for the eyes were open and stony but without the glassiness of death." Bram Stoker's gothic masterpiece was first published in 1897, and has spawned so many classic films, all based on the character he invented when Queen Victoria was on the throne. Like Frankenstein, the films have pushed the characters into the very fabric of our society, so it is with great pride that we bring you a visual treatment that is true to the original - made even more exciting by the wonderous talent that is Staz Johnson! Softcover, 152 pages, full color. Cover price $16.95.

1st printing. Collects UNCANNY X-MEN (1963-2011 1st SERIES) #540-544.

Written by Kieron Gillen. Art and cover by Greg Land.

The X-Men are used to being feared.

When FEAR ITSELF finally reaches the West Coast, they're going to become well acquainted with the emotion first hand. The unstoppable power of an old foe renewed is heading their way, and they have all the time in the world to realize how little they can do to stop him. And even more time to think about exactly how he's going to destroy San Francisco and everything it stands for.

Plus: After the hammer-blow of FEAR ITSELF and the violence of SCHISM, it can't go on. It's the end of the Uncanny X-Men. And who better to provide a stirring eulogy than Mr. Sinister, the 19th century's finest morally dubious scientist!
