-Titulo Original : Anne Of Green Gables A Graphic Novel-Fabricante : Andrews McMeel Publishing-Descripcion Original: Schoolyard rivalries. Baking disasters. Puffed sleeves. Explore the violet vales and glorious green of Avonlea in this spirited adaptation. The spirit of Anne is alive and well in Mariah Marsdens crisp adaptation, and its a thrill to watch as the beloved orphan rushes headlong through Brenna Thummlers heavenly landscapes. Together Marsden and Thummler conjure all the magic and beauty of Green Gables. Like Anne herself, you wont want to leave. - Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” and “The Marvels” The magic of L.M. Montgomery’s treasured classic is reimagined in a whimsically-illustrated graphic novel adaptation perfect for newcomers and kindred spirits alike. When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan who can help manage their family farm, they have no idea what delightful trouble awaits them. With flame-red hair and an unstoppable imagination, 11-year-old Anne Shirley takes Green Gables by storm. Anne’s misadventures bring a little romance to the lives of everyone she meets: her bosom friend, Diana Barry; the town gossip, Mrs. Lynde; and that infuriating tease, Gilbert Blythe. From triumphs and thrills to the depths of despair, Anne turns each everyday moment into something extraordinary. From School Library Journal Gr 3-7-A jewel-toned graphic novel adaptation of the beloved classic. This abridged version of Anne of Green Gables appropriately condenses the longtime favorite into a more accessible volume, but it doesnt cut out the spirit of Montgomerys effervescent heroine. As chatty, imaginative, and scatter-brained as ever, the redheaded protagonist and her new family and town are brought to vivid life by the humorous dialogue and the vignettes that Marsden selected for this treatment. Annes adventures with the raspberry cordial, dyed hair, Haunted Wood, puffed sleeves, and Lady of Shallot are portrayed with aplomb. Readers are also treated to the endearing characters of busybody Rachel Lynde, dreamy but practical Diana, teasing Gilbert Blythe, shy Matthew, and the hard-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside Marilla. Other favorite characters get short shrift: Miss Stacy is barely mentioned. What makes all of these characters and episodes stand out are the almost-Technicolor illustrations by Thummler, whose interpretation of Avonlea and Green Gables will make anyone understand why the verbose orphan would want to stay in this candy-colored paradise. The landscapes, characterizations, joys and triumphs, and moments of despair are brilliantly depicted in a variety of panel sizes, which serve to heighten the narrative plot points and convey the pacing of each scene. Full pages and spreads are used intermittently to dramatic effect. The winning combination will please both fans and newcomers. VERDICT A gem of a graphic novel adaptation that should be shelved right alongside the original for those who dont want to wade through the wordy prose. A must-purchase.-Shelley M. Diaz, School Library Journal Review The spirit of Anne is alive and well in Mariah Marsdens crisp adaptation, and its a thrill to watch as the beloved orphan rushes headlong through Brenna Thummlers heavenly landscapes. Together Marsden and Thummler conjure all the magic and beauty of Green Gables. Like Anne herself, you wont want to leave. (Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” and “The Marvels”) The illustrations are incredible. Like Anne, I wanted to stay in Green Gables right away, and I loved it even more as the seasons changed and the years passed. And Anne is such a captivating character-uncertain but determined, vulnerable but strong, unique but universal. I finished reading this book and then immediately read it again. (Dana Simpson, cartoonist, “Phoebe & Her Unicorn,” “Ozy & Millie”) From the first panel, I was enchanted. . . . Thummlers illustrations are beautiful, inviting, and lovely . . . I read it in one sitting, and it sta...

In the world that Calvin and his tiger Hobbes share, treasures can be found in the most unlikely places, from the outer regions where Spaceman Spiff travels to the rocks in the backyard-this curious duo roams their world in search of fortunes (and misfortunes!) to be experienced.

Wattersons talent is evidenced by the range of thought-provoking emotions the strip encompasses in addition to the laughs it induces: the loyalty and friendship between Calvin and Hobbes, the challenge of being a patient parent, and the sardonic viewpoint of a cynical six-year-old (Im a 21st-century kid trapped in a 19th-century family, laments Calvin) combine to make this one of the best-loved strips in cartoon history.

The Far Side®, FarWorks, Inc.®, and the Larson® signature are registered trademarks of FarWorks, Inc. in certain countries. Review “Explain him? No. Explicate him? No. Enjoy him? Yes, God, yes … Just don’t o.d. You could die laughing.” (Stephen King) “Cartoonist Gary Larson carries the macabre to hilarious lengths.” (The Wall Street Journal) “A magnificent contribution to popular culture.” (The Washington Post) “Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in between opium binges, once distinguished poetry from prose by noting that the former comprises ‘the best words in theirbest order.’ Gary Larson’s achievement in The Far Side® is to have pulled off much the same thing in a humbler medium: the best joke told with the best image … there is no excuse not to have some Larson in your life.” (The Daily Beast) “Larson communicates a great deal of information in a few simple ink lines. The expressions of his characters are vivid and immediately recognizable … And with just a strand of beads and a pair of harlequin glasses, he can somehow transfer any animal-a shark, a bug, a warthog-into a dowdy suburban hausfrau.” (The Los Angeles Times) “In an age when black humor is a lost art, Larson’s cartoon is an island of insanity, offering us theperspective of a world where the unreal is normal and vice versa. Its message deep down is a dark one - something about taking ourselves too seriously and strutting around as if we own the place.” (Rolling Stone) “Bless Gary Larson for his wonderful consistency in casting an artful eye on all of Earth’s wild critters, human or otherwise.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) “The unofficial cartoonist laureate of the scientific community.” (Natural History Magazine) “The natural order of things goes seriously awry, with hilarious results.” (Smithsonian) “A quirky, brilliant series of cartons that most often feature a variety of insects and animals embroiled in some warped situation comedy.” (Toronto Globe and Mail) About the Author Gary Larson was born August 14, 1950, in Tacoma, Washington. Always drawn to nature, he and his older brother spent much of their youth exploring the woods and swamps of the Pacific Northwest, and the tidelands and waters of Puget Sound. Though he loved to draw as a child, Larson didn’t formally study art, nor did he consider being a cartoonist. He graduated in 1972 from Washington State University with a degree in communications but took many classes in the sciences. In 1990, Larson received the Regents’ Distinguished Alumnus Award and was the centennial commencement speaker. His talk was titled “The Importance of Being Weird.” His interest in science was a frequent topic in many of The Far Side® cartoons, which he created for fifteen years, from January 1, 1980, to January 1, 1995. In 1985, the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco premiered a collection of four hundred of Larson’s originals in The Far Side® of Science exhibit, which later traveled to science venues across North America, including the Smithsonian Institution and the American Museum of Natural History. In 1988, Harvard professor Stephen Jay Gould, a prominent science writer and a member of the museum’s Division of Invertebrate Zoology, dubbed Larson “the national humorist of natural history” in his foreword to The Far Side® Gallery 3. In another fitting tribute, the scientific community named a chewing louse after Larson (Strigiphilus garylarsoni), and paleontologists refer to the distinctive array of previously unnamed tail spikes on a stegosaurus as the “thagomizer,” thanks to one of his cartoons. Larson’s work on The Far Side® has earned him numerous awards, including the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year from the National Cartoonists Society in 1990 and 1994. The National Cartoonists Society also named Larson Best Syndicated Panel Cartoonist in both 1985 and 1988. In 1993, The Far Side® was awarded the Max an...

-Titulo Original : The Complete Far Side-Fabricante : Andrews McMeel Publishing-Descripcion Original: The Far Side® is back in this much-anticipated three-volume slipcased paperback edition of The Complete Far Side! “Every one of these cartoons is just something that drifted into my head when I was alone with my thoughts. And, for better or worse, I ‘jotted’ them down. It was only later, when perhaps I received an angry letter from someone, that it struck me: Hey! Someone’s been reading my diary!” --Gary Larson, from the preface to The Complete Far Side Originally published in hardcover in 2003, The Complete Far Side was a New York Times bestseller. Now it’s back as a paperback set with a newly designed slipcase that will delight Far Side fans. Revered by its fans as the funniest, most original, most “What the ... ?”-inspiring cartoon ever, The Far Side® debuted in January 1980 and enjoyed an illustrious 14 years on the world’s comics pages until Gary Larson’s retirement in 1994. The Complete Far Side celebrates Larson’s twisted, irreverent genius in this ultimate Far Side book. A masterpiece of comic brilliance, The Complete Far Side contains every Far Side cartoon ever syndicated--over 4,000 if you must know--presented in (more or less) chronological order by year of publication, with more than 1,100 that had never before appeared in a book. Also included are additional Far Side cartoons Larson created after his retirement: 13 that appeared in the last Far Side book, Last Chapter and Worse, and six cartoons that periodically ran as a special feature in the New York Times Science Times section as The Far Side® of Science. Creator Gary Larson offers a rare glimpse into the mind of The Far Side® in quirky and thoughtful introductions to each of the 14 chapters. Complaint letters, fan letters, and queries from puzzled readers appear alongside some of the more provocative or elusive panels. Actor, author, and comedian Steve Martin offers his sagacious thoughts in a foreword, and Larson’s former editor describes what it was like to be “the guy who could explain every Far Side cartoon.” During its 14-year run, The Far Side® was syndicated internationally to over 1,900 daily newspapers. It spawned 23 books and has been translated into 17 different languages. Copyright © 2014, 2003 FarWorks, Inc. All rights reserved.

-Titulo Original : When Sharks Attack With Kindness-Fabricante : Andrews McMeel Publishing-Descripcion Original: Cute, clever, and comically ingenious, Andres Colmenares’ popular shark comics are a sweet, sincere tonic for these anxious, troubled times. This hardcover collection features the cute, uplifting and ingenious aquatic cartoons of Andres Colmenares, the creator of Wawawiwa Comics, followed by millions of fans around the globe. While sharks are one of the ocean’s deadliest predators, these sharks can smell insecurity, doubt, and gloom, and are quick to strike - with kindness, cuteness, and positivity! When Sharks Attack With Kindness includes a QR code linking to a special instrumental soundtrack for audiences to enjoy while reading the book. From School Library Journal Gr 5 Up-This heartwarming collection of short comics tells the story of a shark who just wants to make some friends, along with other sea life pursuing their dreams. The shark manages to find a sea full of friends, from a stingray who becomes a blanket in an undersea picnic to an orange-and-white-striped pilot fish whos not only a pal-he also doubles as the sharks neck tie. The quick comic timing (well-placed sight gags include seahorses admiring a picture of a regular horse) marry perfectly with the humorous writing to create a comic that feels like a warm hug. Using a primarily blue palette, Colmenares depicts a gentle, utterly appealing undersea world. Encouraging, funny, and whimsical, this book will delight young and older readers alike, who will take heart from the triumphs of the characters, who turn their disadvantages into strengths-a young shark is discouraged when all he can draw is a few wavy lines, but an older friend is impressed: Wow, buddy! You drew an ocean! And a narwhal who thinks that his horn is a liability realizes that its the perfect selfie stick. VERDICT An ideal read for kids not yet ready for Sarah Andersens Sarahs Scribbles or who just need a pick-me-up. This is a book that can be opened, flipped to a random page, and enjoyed over and over.-Stacey Shapiro, Cranford P.L., N...
