“All work is political. That’s the line in issue 1 that really stood out to me because it’s so true right now. HIGHBALL is the story of a man who drinks to succeed. There’s some great gags about drinking in HIGHBALL, but in a lot of ways this is a story about the hangover of late stage capitalism.” - Fred Harper (Artist) Meet Highball, ace pilot of the Earth Space Corp. He’s the best shot in the galaxy, except for one big problem: he can only hit the target when he’s dead drunk In the far future, Earth’s finest pilot, call-sign HIGHBALL, finds himself caught between two alien races: the arrogant, cerebral Mentok and the fierce, birdlike Q’k’q’rr’kkk. In his one-man Byter ship, Highball must defuse an alien bomb and survive against a vicious enemy. But Highball has a deadly weakness: He can only hit the target when he’s stone drunk. In his quest to save the galaxy, Highball stumbles headfirst into obstacles such as nefarious space enemies, fellow pilots, the maddening bureaucracy of Space Corp—and, of course, his own shameful inadequacies! Highball collects all 5 issues of the comic book series written by Stuart Moore (Captain Ginger) with art by Fred Harper (Snelson: Comedy is Dyring) and colors by Lee Loughridge.

Stephen Kings Mammutwerk erobert im Februar 2017 die Kinoleinwände – als Franchise-Blockbuster! Acht Bände umfasst Stephen Kings Fantasyserie »Der Dunkle Turm«, das größte Werk des an enorm umfangreichen Romanen nicht gerade schmalen Ouevres des Bestsellerautors. Entsprechend groß war die Aufregung, als sich die Meldung verbreitete, dass Sony Pictures eine gleich mehrteilige Verfilmung plant, ähnlich der »Herr der Ringe«-Trilogie. Im Februar 2017 ist es tatsächlich soweit und der erste Teil des Franchise-Blockbusters wird weltweit in den Kinos starten, u. a. mit Idris Elba (»The Wire«, »The Gunman«) und Matthew McConaughey (»Dallas Buyers Club«, »True Detective«) in den Hauptrollen. Nicht minder umfangreich ist die Comicserie zu »Der Dunkle Turm«, die unter Mitarbeit von Stephen King das Dunkler Turm-Universum eigenständig weitererzählt. 14 Bände sind bereits erschienen, im Mai 2017 kommt der 15. Band in den Handel. Opulent ist auch die Ausstattung dieser edlen Coffee Table Books: zwischen 50 und 70 Bonusseiten mit Kurzgeschichten, Illustrationen usw. machen die Dunkler Turm-Erzählungen auch im Comic zu einem einzigartigen Lesevergnügen!

As the sheriff of the magical New York City neighborhood known as Fabletown, Bigby is hot on the trail of the killer who beheaded a princess and then unleashed a horde of gangsters and monsters to cover his tracks. But even as Bigby reels from attempts on his life and watches his trail of suspects go cold, an old evil reappears to wreak havoc once more. Is the urban legend known as Bloody Mary to blame? Or is she just one more tortured pawn in an even bigger game, with an even more crooked opponent waiting to make his move? The acclaimed adaptation of the hit mystery from Telltale Games—inspired by Bill Willingham’s best-selling Vertigo series FABLES—concludes in this second volume of FABLES: THE WOLF AMONG US, written by Matthew Sturges and Dave Justus and featuring a powerful pack of artists, including Travis Moore, Shawn McManus, Eric Nguyen and Steve Sadowski.
