Book Description
This edited volume explores political motives, discourses and agendas in Japanese manga and graphic art with the objective of highlighting the agency of Japanese and wider Asian story-telling traditions within the context of global political traditions. Highly illustrated chapters presented here investigate the multifaceted relationship between Japan’s political storytelling practices, media and bureaucratic discourse, as played out between both the visual arts and modern pop-cultural authors. From pioneering cartoonist Tezuka Osamu, contemporary manga artists such as Kotobuki Shiriagari and Fumiyo Kōno, to videogames and everyday merchandise, a wealth of source material is analysed using cross-genre techniques. Furthermore, the book resists claims that manga, unlike the bandes dessinées and American superhero comic traditions, is apolitical. On the contrary, contributors demonstrate that manga and the mediality of graphic arts have begun to actively incorporate political discourses, undermining hegemonic cultural constructs that support either the status quo, or emerging brands of neonationalism in Japanese society. The Representation of Politics in Manga will be a dynamic resource for students and scholars of Japanese studies, media and popular cultural studies, as well as practitioners in the graphic arts.

Book Description
Beyond MAUS. The Legacy of Holocaust Comics collects 16 contributions that shed new light on the representation of the Holocaust. While MAUS by Art Spiegelman has changed the perspectives, other comics and series of drawings, some produced while the Holocaust happened, are often not recognised by a wider public. A plethora of works still waits to be discovered, like early caricatures and comics referring to the extermination of the Jews, graphic series by survivors or horror stories from 1950s comic books. The volume provides overviews about the depictions of Jews as animals, the representation of prisoner societies in comics as well as in depth studies about distorted traces of the Holocaust in Hergé's Tintin and in Spirou, the Holocaust in Mangas, and Holocaust comics in Poland and Israel, recent graphic novels and the use of these comics in schools. With contributions from different disciplines, the volume also grants new perspectives on comic scholarship.

Book Description
Scotty and Bobby, genius electrical and computer engineers, have developed a system that sets up a stable wormhole between two points. Together with Kaley, the best technical field rep in the solar system, they and their company are establishing travel portals all over Earth, and also on the moon, Mars, Mercury, plus several of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Their company, Subway Solar Systems, is growing like crazy, and the future looks bright. What could go wrong? Lots of things, it turns out. An alien race from the far reaches of space has taken control of a portal on Titan and started an invasion. They are rapidly taking over the outer solar system, and Earth’s military forces may not be able to stop the attack. Just to make things perfect, the personal lives of the three people who created Subway Solar Systems are a mess as well. Scotty’ wife wants a divorce, Bobby’s boyfriend is causing him constant trouble, and maybe Scotty’s relationship with Kaley isn’t just based on their jobs.
