H.P. Lovecraft's the Shadow Out of Time (Manga)
From the modern horror master Gou Tanabe, comes the manga adaptation of H.P Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time. First published in 1936 in the legendary pulp magazine Astounding Stories, this is the complete story in one volume with tip-in title page in metallic gold ink and eight pages in color! Professor Peaslee of Miskatonic University has been acting very strange--could he be out of his mind? No...his mind is out of him! Just because one lives in Arkham--just because one teaches there at Miskatonic University--it doesn't mean one has any interest in the occult--in the abnormal. That was always the view of Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, a respectable professor of political economy. Until that one Thursday in 1908, when Professor Peaslee suddenly began to see in front of him not his students in their lecture hall, but strange shapes inhabiting a grotesque chamber. He collapsed unconscious, and when he awoke, he was strange...very strange. Seemingly unable to recall his identity, the mind inside the body of Nathaniel Peaslee was oddly uninterested in the person he had been. The psychologists were baffled as he sought not to recover his old memory, but to obsessively study the world around him, travelling to distant lands, reading occult books, disturbing others with his odd perspectives on time and existence. He alienated and frightened people--his friends, his wife, even most of his children, except for his youngest son, who believed that one day Nathaniel Peaslee would come back. And then, in 1913, Professor Peaslee did come back, with no memory of his strange sabbatical, but deeply disturbed by the dreams and visions it left him with. His search for the past five years gone missing from his life will lead Peaslee to other cases of lost identity resembling his...and eventually to an ancient city in the Australian desert--from where a long-vanished race still casts their shadow out of time.

Alagb矇 seamlessly glides between narratives of the family's past and present, all haunted by the legacy of France's colonial subjugation of Africa.

Fans will love this crime manga classic from the '90s from the character designer of Bubblegum Crisis, printed in an over-sized format and high-quality paper. Rally Vincent runs Gunsmith Cats--a gun shop in Illinois with her partner, demolitions expert and former call girl Minnie-May Hopkins. But Rally's "real" job doesn't pay the bills, her hobby does. And her hobby is bounty hunting, bringing the most wanted men and women in the Chicago area to justice--dressed in her sharp suit and tie, and driving her Shelby Cobra GT 500! In Gunsmith Cats Omnibus Volume 2, Rally goes downtown to pick up master thief Misty Brown, who's just gotten out of the slammer. But Misty's no safer on the streets...not when it seems she stole some tape recordings that could incriminate a Mafia boss. And especially not when Rally stands in the way of the person trying to get the tapes back--the perverted, ruthless Goldie Musso. Misty may be the princess of cat burglars, but Goldie is the queen of the Mafia, and those she can't beat down, she can shoot up--with kerasine, a synthetic street drug that in Goldie's syringe-toting hands becomes a mind control tool of exquisite finesse. Her newest subject is Rally Vincent, whom she intends to not only get revenge upon, but recruit into serving her own organization. Goldie can do both if she ends Rally's old life--by brainwashing her into murdering detective Roy Coleman! For mature audiences.

The Last of the Giants
"A hypnotic and inspiring tale of a man overcoming adversity." -Publisher's WeeklyTwo hundred miles through the mountains in five days, with almost no sleep: Italy's Tor des G矇ants is one of the world's hardest races. Why put yourself through it? This compelling graphic novel illuminates both the appeal and the physical and psychological turmoil of running day and night for a week through some of the wildest terrain on earth-and what universal lessons about life, suffering and love are learned along the way. In The Last of the Giants, Sam Hill takes on Tor for a third time-after failing, twice. Amid exhaustion, hallucinations, and unforgettable encounters both real and imagined, he pushes the limits of body and mind to discover more about himself and his place in the world.Inspired by the real-life experience of American ultrarunner Doug Mayer, this graphic novel blends fiction and reality, delving into what it means to be human, our need for spiritual understanding, and our drive to explore our limits. With a unique inverted format--read one way, then the other--this immersive story offers a fresh perspective on extreme sports and the search for something greater than ourselves. A gripping read for anyone passionate about adventure and personal challenge.
Language and Speech
Most of the thoughts in this volume are unorthodox because conventional thinking cannot account for the processes that evoked them: the distortions caused by digital capitalism, which has undermined our markets; the impending longevity escape velocity, which threatens to expand our lives practically to the end of time; the combined phenomena of dwindling human expertise and soaring machine mastery and skill, which promises to turn us all into sorcerer's apprentices. One of the areas where all these developments are manifested most prominently is language. Language, the quintessential thinking tool, is gradually being supplanted by generative AI, which is now speaking for us and will soon be thinking for us as well. Or is it already? A shrinking proportion of humans has the training to process the implications of this change for life on Earth. These essays, written over many years, discuss various apparently unrelated topics (law, folklore, pronouns) and characters (Dante, Derrida, Dracula), all of them pointing in the same direction and indicating that language, like geography, is destiny-the alpha and omega of civilization. The title of the collection contains three of its primary keywords: language, speech, and culture. The essays provide snapshots of the state of these at various points in time, usually during periods of transition in the past, present, and the imagined future. Such snapshots may no longer be possible in the future, when a state of permanent transition will make it impossible to capture static representations of a reality in which by the time we put a period at the end of a sentence, what we wrote at the beginning of it is no longer true.

Super Science is a sci-fi/comedy about a world where the limits of human imagination have become real. For five days the entire sky over twelve spots across the globe turn amethyst purple. The inexplicable result was in each location, professional engineers and scientists, as well as tinkers, amateur inventors, and high school science teachers were able to create scientific and engineering breakthroughs in ways far surpassing the world's top scientific institutions. Our story starts three years later in Los Angeles, where a breed of actual superheroes and super villains are emerging. Dealing with this new phenomenon is LAPD's new "Mad Scientist Division." Our two main characters are the no-nonsense Sergeant Esmerelda Villanueva and her idealistic young partner, Officer Jack Mantle. Other main characters are manipulative industrialist Burt Montague, and his bold lab assistant Felicia Bari; perpetually unlucky Karen Katz, a former biology teacher who has turned herself into a human-cat hybrid; Esmerelda's son Gabe, who might be the smartest teenager on the planet; and finally, nefarious super villain Dr. Cornelius Otherland, and his nemesis, bumbling superhero Gas Giant. This mind-bending graphic novel from THE LAB ships in a gold-foil stamped cloth slipcase.
Simplicity
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From the acclaimed author of horror sensation Boys Weekend, a vibrant new graphic novel about a timid academic sent out from the walled dystopian security territory of New York City to investigate a cult in the wilds of the Catskill Mountains "Mattie Lubchansky is a genius."--Kristen Arnett, New York Times bestselling author of Mostly Dead Things and With Teeth "[Lubchansky] blends dystopian science fiction and folk horror into a queer, trans story of hard-won hope in a future as terrifying--and as ridiculous--as our present. Sexy, insightful, and darkly funny."--Lindsay King-Miller, author of The Z Word In 1977, a group called The Spiritual Association of Peers decamps to the woods of the Catskills, taking over an abandoned summer camp. They name their new home Simplicity. In 2081, scholar Lucius Pasternak, a fastidiously organized trans man, tries to keep his head down living in the New York City Administrative and Security Territory, which was founded after the formal dissolution of the United States in 2041. Then, he's offered a job by the mayor, billionaire real estate developer Dennis Van Wervel, to complete an anthropological survey of the people of Simplicity for a history museum he's financing. A wary Lucius is nevertheless drawn in by the people of the small wooded community, intrigued by its strange rituals and in particular by the charming acolyte Amity Crown-Shy. Born and raised on the compound, Amity is comfortable in their own skin, a striking contrast to Lucius' repressed reserve. But Lucius' control starts to slip when he begins to suffer visions both terrifying and sensual--visits from beautiful but nightmarish creatures. Then, just as Lucius discovers that Van Wervel's project is more sinister than it seemed, members of the community begin to disappear, leaving behind grisly signs of struggle. The denizens of Simplicity believe that a being they call "The Lamentation" is responsible for the attacks. Amity and Lucius set out to hunt for the creature in the dangerous Exurb Zones, a wild wood full of libertarian doomsday preppers, wealthy isolationists, and worse. There, they'll finally discover the true threat to their way of life--and what they're willing to do to stop it.
