 This Week! Berkeley Breathed Returns, Batman Stalks a
Serial Killer, and One of Finland’s Finest Artists is
Celebrated.
Famed
for his Bloom County and Opus strips, Berkeley
Breathed returns with a fun and poignant children’s book, Mars
Needs Moms! Completely entertaining and beautifully illustrated,
Breathed brings together his art and family life on a trip to Mars,
with clever insights and images that capture the essence of being a
kid (and a parent!). Also, Opus
fans will also love our collection of 25
years of Sunday strips.
Batman is back
in Absolute
Batman: The Long Halloween. This award-winning 13-issue
miniseries tells another gripping story of murder and justice, and
includes great extras including an interview with Loeb (a
producer for the ABC's Lost, and more recently NBC's
Heroes) and Sale and
previously cut material. A must for any Dark Knight fan.
Also new is the
incredible retrospective of Akseli
Gallen-Kallela’s stunning art, The
Spirit of Finland. Collected here is a large array of selections
from the Holland Groninger Museum, spanning several movements,
including a chapter on Gallen-Kallela’s brilliant paintings of myths
and legends. Previous editions have been bestsellers for years, and
now this truly outstanding value.

TAMARA DE LEMPICKA
By Patrick Bade.The
smoothly modeled portraits, nudes and still-lifes of Tamara de
Lempicka (1898-1980) encapsulates the spirit of Art Deco and
the Jazz Age. Her work reflects the elegant and hedonistic
lifestyle of a wealthy elite in Paris between the World Wars,
and conveys superb female sensuality. This book celebrates the
sleek and streamlined beauty of her best work in the 1930s and
'30s, along with examples of her later work.
