Story and art by Raina Telgemeier.

A true story from Raina Telgemeier, the #1 New York Times-bestselling, multiple Eisner Award-winning author of Smile, Sisters, Drama, and Ghosts!

Raina wakes up one night with a terrible upset stomach. Her mom has one, too, so it's probably just a bug. Raina eventually returns to school, where she's dealing with the usual highs and lows: friends, not-friends, and classmates who think the school year is just one long gross-out session. It soon becomes clear that Raina's tummy trouble isn't going away... and it coincides with her worries about food, school, and changing friendships. What's going on?

Raina Telgemeier once again brings us a thoughtful, charming, and funny true story about growing up and gathering the courage to face and conquer her fears.

Story and art by Nathan Hale.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, bringing the United States into World War II. Volunteers were requested for a dangerous secret assignment - for the first time in American history, Army bombers would be launched from an aircraft carrier. Once at sea, they were told their mission was a retaliation strike against targets in Tokyo. After the bombing, some pilots crashed, some were captured, and many ended up in mainland China and were carried to safety by Chinese villagers, being hunted by Japanese forces all the while. With tales of high-flying action and bravery, Raid of No Return is a story of heartbreak and survival during wartime.

1st printing. Story and art by by Jason. An anthology of masterful shorts from the creator of "I Killed Adolf Hitler." This multifaceted anthology collects Jason's early 1990's work, including his remarkable calling card, the novella-length thriller "Pocket Full of Rain," which has never before been published in English. Like a number of his initial stories, "Pocket" is drawn with realistic human beings instead of blank-faced animal characters, a true revelation for Jason's fans. This book showcases three distinct styles - his earliest "realistic" drawing style, used to unsettling effect in some particularly creepy stories; an intermediate "bighead" cartoony style that still features humans, used for both humor and drama; and the "funny-animal" style he's now best known for. All this, plus much more, including a color gallery and God cheating at Trivial Pursuit. Softcover, 144 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $19.99.
