Eddie Campbell Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

In Bacchus, the visionary behind From Hell (with Alan Moore) and ALEC: The Years Have Pants presents his version of "an American-style comic book," filtered through his own brilliant, whimsical, and wide-ranging sensibility. With a fine blend of action, comedy, suspense, and an ear for a great story, Bacchus brings the gods and myths of ancient Greece to modern life, as if they had never left. Nearly 600-pages, this deluxe volume collects the first half of the Bacchus saga (including "Immortality Isn't Forever," "The Gods of Business," "Doing the Islands with Bacchus," "The Eyeball Kid: One Man Show," and "Earth, Water, Air & Fire") with new notes and commentary by the author.

Beautifully illustrated by renowned artist Eddie Campbell, this is a four-colour edition of Neil Gaiman's award-winning novelette "The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains"- a haunting story of family, the otherworld, and a search for hidden treasure. The text of The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains was first published in the collection Stories: All New Tales (Headline, 2010). This gorgeous full-colour illustrated book version was born of a unique collaboration between writer Neil Gaiman and artist Eddie Campbell, who brought to vivid life the characters and landscape of Gaiman's story. In August 2010, The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains was performed in the concert hall of the Sydney Opera House to a sell-out crowd - Gaiman read his tale live as Campbell's magnificent artwork was presented, scene by scene, on large screens. Narrative and art were accompanied by live music composed and performed especially for the story by the FourPlay String Quartet.

The From Hell Companion is a fascinating read of almost 100,000 words and the same page size as From Hell itself, with illustrative material on every spread. The main thread in it is a selection of the best of Alan Moore's actual script sequences but this is supported with a generous selection of Moore's thumbnail sketches from his private notebooks for individual pages. Includes commentary from Eddie Campbell and two 16 page colour sections featuring brand new artwork. All arranged in narrative order, the reader will feel they have read From Hell from a fresh perspective.

For the first time ever, the pioneering autobiographical comics of master cartoonist Eddie Campbell (From Hell) are collected in a single volume! Brilliantly observed and profoundly expressed, the ALEC stories present a version of Campbell's own life, filtered through the alter ego of "Alec MacGarry." Over many years, we witness Alec's (and Eddie's) progression "from beer to wine" - wild nights at the pub, existential despair, the hunt for love, the quest for art, becoming a "responsible breadwinner," feeling lost at his own movie premiere, and much more! Eddie's outlandish fantasies and metafictional tricks convert life into art, while staying fully grounded in his own absurdity. This Life-Size Omnibus edition of ALEC includes all the stories from The King Canute Crowd, Three-Piece Suit, How to be an Artist, and After the Snooter, as well as the very early, out-of-print ALEC stories and a staggering amount of bonus material.

Die Gesamtausgabe des "Jack The Ripper"-Comics "From Hell" bietet eine unhandliche, aber günstigere Alternative zur dreibändigen Ausgabe, die dem Comic entnommene Titelmotive zeigt. Der Inhalt bleibt identisch, jedoch gibt es wesentliche Unterschiede zwischen Film und Comic. Inspektor Abberline im Comic hat keine Opiumvisionen; stattdessen hat der Hellseher Robert Lees diese, auch ohne Drogen. Während der Film die spannende Suche nach dem unbekannten Jack The Ripper in den Vordergrund stellt, offenbart der Comic bereits im ersten Drittel, wer der Frauenmörder ist. Diese Offenbarung ermöglicht es dem Comic, sich intensiver mit der Psyche, den Ideen und Visionen des Rippers zu beschäftigen, während der Film Abberline in den Mittelpunkt rückt, was auch auf Johnny Depps Darstellung zurückzuführen ist. Dadurch wirkt der Comic tiefgründiger, wenn auch weniger spannend. Zudem sind die umfangreichen Anmerkungen von Alan Moore im Anhang von Bedeutung, die die zehnjährige Recherchearbeit widerspiegeln. Diese Anmerkungen verleihen dem Comic mehr historischen Kontext und Authentizität im Vergleich zum Film.

Sporting a glowing introduction by the master of "veiled autobiography," Eddie Campbell, this graphic novel features all of Glenn Dakin's ABE stories from the British comix scene. If you're not familiar with Dakin's work, Glenn has, for the last nineteen years, been one of England's best alternative comics creators. ABE is not only regarded as a milestone in the world of fanciful autobiography, but it's a must read for fans of ALEC or anyone who's interested in astute, witty, and profound observations of life and living.
