With its blend of suspenseful storytelling and stunning artwork, Out of Alcatraz is a beautiful and outstanding historical fiction comic.\"-- \" Capes and Tights \" Review Quotes : \"A fantastic exercise of historical fiction, concerned about depicting the U.S. precisely as it was in the 1960s. That includes the racial tensions bubbling below the surface of a civilized country and the unfortunate objectification of women. These strokes of social analysis are perfectly intertwined with the plot, making the story all the more believable without deviating the focus from the main characters. It's a phenomenal work of comic book storytelling, complete with an impressionist artwork that adds texture to what could be a bland realistic setting. Every reader interested in crime thriller and historical fiction will be well-served with Out of Alcatraz.\"-- \" Comicbook.com \" Review Quotes : \"Showstopping...An escape from Alcatraz becomes a highway to Hell. Cantwell takes the two leads into deep levels with the writing. Crook's art sets the stage with the painful repercussions of their actions. This story is one readers won't want to escape from anytime soon.\"-- \" Nerd Initiative \" Review Quotes : \"Cantwell and Crook craft a crime thriller steeped in paranoia that keeps the men trapped even though they've left their prison cells behind. ....

Populating the panels with energy and a water-colored palette that made the narrative jump from the page, Crook captures the pent-up frustration, fear and anger of the convicts in every close-up of their faces... A must read.\"-- \" Geek Vibes Nation \" Review Quotes : \"This book uses a real life incident in which convicts escaped from Alcatraz (and were never found) as a starting point for a new crime-suspense comic. The premise is great, but the execution of this series is absolutely perfect, from the art to the characterization to the plot twists.\"-- \" Comics Beat \" Review Quotes : \"Mining the historical intrigue of the 1962 escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, which saw a trio of inmates slip away from the island and vanish completely, this gripping thriller proposes that escaping from prison was by far the easiest obstacle on the men's path to freedom. Cantwell ( Star Trek: Defiant ) crafts a propulsive, noir-tinged narrative as the convicts limp into a murky Northern California underworld, pursued by lawmen, haunted by violence, and betrayed at nearly every turn. While the fugitives stumble toward freedom, they're forced to confront a bleak truth: escape is not liberation, and the world beyond bars may be just another cell. Crook's ( The Lonesome Hunters ) painterly and cinematic illustration heightens scenes of stark natural beauty by alternating them with grim interiors and bursts of violence. His use of color and light evokes a cinematic dread that matches the script's fatalism. It's rooted in crime fiction, but the graphic novel hints at metaphysical despair, transcending its genre premise to become something bolder, eerier, and more tragic. VERDICT Atmospheric, beautifully rendered, and psychologically rich, this is a standout thriller for fans of Ed Brubaker, Jeff Lemire, and True Detective .\"-- \" Library Journal, Starred Review \" Review Quotes : \"Cantwell's script is sharp, both in its thriller jolts and surprising empathy. Bleakly gorgeous art by Crook evokes Alfred Hitchcock, Edward Hopper, Badlands, American Graffiti, and vintage crime paperbacks. The effect brilliantly imbues wide-open West Coast vistas with grim beauty and, in the end, a touch of welcome warmth. This will certainly win over noir fans--and may make new ones.\"-- \" Publishers Weekly , Starred Review \" Review Quotes : \"Action-packed, fast-paced, and atmospheric.\"-- \" Booklist \" Publisher Marketing : \"Atmospheric, beautifully rendered, and psychologically rich, this is a standout thriller for fans of Ed Brubaker, Jeff Lemire, and True Detective .\" -- Library Journal , starred review \"This will certainly win over noir fans--and may make new ones.\" -- Publishers Weekly , starred review Born from one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century, Eisner Award-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell ( Plastic Man No More , Briar ) and Eisner Award-nominated illustrator Tyler Crook ( Harrow County , The Lonesome Hunters ) present the year's most taut and breathtaking graphic novel event . . . Convicts Frank Morris and Clarence Anglin have washed ashore in San Francisco after surviving their infamous escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in June 1962. They soon meet their gruff and disappointed handler, a mysterious young woman who's also running from something, and hope to quickly get their way north to the border-if they can even make it out of Modesto alive. As a dogged federal manhunt and chance encounters threaten the desperate convicts, everyone involved is about to discover the same bloodstained truth: Life on the run is an even more hellish prison than Alcatraz could have ever been . . .

From award-winning creator of Baby and The Hidden Level, Chang Sheng delivers an opulently detailed supernatural sci-fi story - that defies genres and engrosses readers with stunning artwork. Winner of the Golden Comics Awards and a standout of Taiwan's rising comics scene, Yan Vol. 1 is a haunting, genre-bending journey from master storyteller Chang Sheng--creator of Baby and The Hidden Level. In this stunning first volume, the echoes of Peking Opera performances 30 years past linger in the shadows of a story that begins in tradition and spirals toward a dark, speculative future. The tale unfolds across eras--starting with a tragedy in the richly detailed world of late 20th-century Taiwan, stepping into the present day, and glimmering with the foreboding rise of a dystopian tomorrow. Declared dead in prison records, Yan Tieh-Hua mysteriously returns to Taipei, reigniting the investigation into a decades-old massacre--her own family's. As she carves a bloody path toward vengeance, Detective Lei is drawn into a chilling spiral of cold cases, supernatural events, and impossible truths. Alongside Yan is Higa Mirai, a young Go prodigy with the uncanny gift of precognition, adding eerie weight to every move made. With sharp moral tension, brutal action, and a uniquely Taiwanese swagger, Yan is more than a mere quest for revenge--it's a vision of justice that questions what lies beneath our choices, and what might come after humanity loses control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-06-24\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Titan Manga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47193650397410,"sku":"9781787744424","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781787744424.jpg?v=1765278440"},{"product_id":"9798875000690","title":"The Idris File","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn awkward young man discovers that his quiet seaside Welsh town harbors Nazi horrors in its haunted cemeteries, making for a historical graphic novel thriller that reads likeThe Banshees of InisherinmeetsRaiders of the Lost Ark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: For all its quaint and quiet seaside vibes, The Idris File is a book about gruesome crimes and frozen führers, political plots and infidelity - presented with a sort of hilarious, bored malaise: This is a boy's adventure story for absurdists, and it's a sodden sort of delight.-- \"AIPT Comics\" Review Quotes : Anyone who appreciates an absurd comedy won't read a funnier graphic novel this year.-- \"Slings and Arrows\" Review Quotes : An excellent comic for those who like boy's own adventures and folk horror, but want something weirder, more disturbing, and more adult.-- \"Fortean Times\" Review Quotes : British writer-artist, Dix, flies solo in his major new album, set in 1970s Wales mired in discomforting secrets.--Paul Gravett Review Quotes : Dix's use of color has been brilliant...

The young woman, Harriet, has an agenda all her own and aspirations beyond being a shill for a gambler. She's nobody's fool. Nor is the old man, for his part. He's got serious muscle--a chauffer with a degree from Dartmouth, the only Black student from his class, who knows his way around a gun and isn't afraid to use it.

Although he was born in Chicago, Chandler spent most of his boyhood and youth in England, where he attended Dulwich College and later worked as a freelance journalist for The Westminster Gazette and The Spectator . During World War I, Chandler served in France with the First Division of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, transferring later to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC). In 1919 he returned to the United States, settling in California, where he eventually became director of a number of independent oil companies. The Depression put an end to his career, and in 1933, at the age of forty-five, he turned to writing fiction, publishing his first stories in Black Mask . Chandler's detective stories often starred the brash but honorable Philip Marlowe (introduced in 1939 in his first novel, The Big Sleep ) and were noted for their literate presentation and dead-on critical eye. Never a prolific writer, Chandler published only one collection of stories and seven novels in his lifetime. Some of Chandler's novels, like The Big Sleep , were made into classic movies that helped define the film noir style. In the last year of his life he was elected president of the Mystery Writers of America. He died in La Jolla, California, on March 26, 1959. ARVIND ETHAN DAVID is a Stoker Award nominated graphic novelist who has also written chart-topping Audiodramas ( The Crimes of Dorian Gray, Earworms) , television ( Anansi Boys) and plays ( The Boy with Wings). Arvind is also a producer of film and theater, including the Emmy \u0026amp; Grammy award winning musical Jagged Little Pill . Arvind's career started when he adapted the Douglas Adams novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency as his college play and Adams came to see it. Years later, Arvind brought Dirk Gently to a global audience as a Netflix\/AMC TV series. Review Quotes : \"Inspired. . . . This trio bring [Chandler's] words to vivid life. . . .

Marlowe forms an alliance with George, the client's chauffeur-cum-bodyguard-cum-fixer. George is a Black, Dartmouth-educated veteran with a sniper's skills and his own agenda, and the two uneasy allies find themselves on the wrong end of a brace of hired killers and an enigmatic casino boss. . . .

Together, a new class of surgeon has sworn to pierce the final threshold of accepted medical orthodoxy one incision at a time. The scalpel is their tool. The alleys are their operating theater. Murder is their medicine. And only Carrie can stop what they're planning next . . . Collecting Invasive #1-4.

Welcome to Hobtown, a charmingly bleak village (Population: 2,006) and an easy place to get bored if you don't make your own fun. Hobtown Regional High's top girl, Dana Nance, runs the Teen Detective Club--a registered after-school program that makes it their business to investigate each and every one of their town's bizarre occurrences including pagan secret societies, psychic assaults, and possible \"wee man\" sightings. Their small world of missing pets and shed fires is turned upside down when real-life kid adventurer and globetrotter Sam Finch comes to town and enlists them in their first real case: the search for his missing father. Something strange is going on, and no one in Hobtown will talk about it. It turns out Sam's dad is the sixth man to go missing this year . The rot runs deep in Hobtown, and it's up to the teen detectives and associates to stay alive long enough to crack the Case of the Missing Men! Childhood friends Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes have built a truly unique and discrete universe in Hobtown--an exploration of small town identity drawing from the world of pulp, filtered through a lens of esoteric spirituality, skewed genre tropes, deft character work, and an incredible eye for detail.

Review Quotes : \"The art is striking. Moody and noir, it also makes strong use of colors: one page contrasts yellow with dominant blues, purples, and blacks to illuminate graphic violence, while other pages use lighter tones to indicate Jonathan having a greater measure of control. Part mysterious crime story, part psychological drama, Night Fever is a haunting graphic novel in which a man tests his limits and realizes why they existed in the first place.\" --Foreword Reviews Review Quotes : \"Night Fever pulled me in from the first moment with its razor sharp writing and gorgeous art. Brubaker and Phillips have crafted a taut, riveting story, as disturbing as it is satisfying, full of memorable lines and stunning images. Thought-provoking and highly entertaining.\" --Charles Yu, National Book Award winning author of Interior Chinatown Review Quotes : \"Brubaker's masterfully hardboiled scripting is both unnervingly nihilistic and propulsively thrilling, and Phillips's illustration has rarely evoked such nuances of character or absolute menace.
