BILLIE HOLIDAY HC
(W/A/CA) Jose Munoz, Carlos Sampayo
Born in Baltimore in 1915, and dead too early in New York in 1959, Billie Holiday became a legendary jazz singer, even mythical. With her voice even now managing to touch so many people, we follow a reporter on the trail of the artist on behalf of a New York daily. Beyond the public scandals that marred the life of the star (alcohol, drugs, violence...), he seeks to restore the truth, revisiting the memory of Billie. Through this investigation, Muñoz and Sampayo trace, through the undertones of racism, and in the wake of the blues, the slow drift of a singer who expressed the deepest emotions in jazz, creating not just a biography but a spell-binding art book tribute.

O/A SILK ROAD TO RUIN GN
(W/A/CA) Ted Rall
Part graphic novel travelog, part tongue-in-cheek travel guide, here are the adventures of caustic cartoonist Rall in the wild and wooly central Asian countries, a powder keg sitting on tomorrow's oil... Combines articles with comics chapters relating his experiences retracing the old legendary Silk Road starting with the sublime history of China and ending in the absurdity of the petty dictatorships of the "The 'Stans" where Rall had the temerity to go back, including once with a group of listeners to his radio show, on a dare. It's exotic adventure, satire and a fun way to find out more about a part of the world that looms in importance with its immense reserves of oil. (STK633350)

TO AFGHANISTAN AND BACK SC (NEW PTG)
(W/A/CA) Ted Rall
When U.S. bombs started raining on the Taliban, Ted Rall didn't just watch it on TV; he jumped on a plane straight to the war zone to get the real story for himself. But the only cartoonist to go to Afghanistan got more than he bargained for. Within days of arriving, armed men were hunting down journalists to murder and rob them. You can count on Rall for a decidedly different take on this gritty war. (STK449301) (AUG141557)

(W/A/CA) Ted Rall
When U.S. bombs started raining on the Taliban, Rall didn't just watch it on TV — he jumped on a plane straight to the war zone to get the real story for himself. But the only cartoonist to go to Afghanistan got more than he bargained for. From the gruesome spectacle of a Taliban prisoner blowing himself up with grenades to the hilarious image of mujahideen lining up for shaves and DVD porn a day after joining the Northern Alliance, you can count on Rall for a decidedly different take on this gritty war.

YEAR OF LOVING DANGEROUSLY GN
(W) Ted Rall (A) Pablo Callejo
It's New York City in the 1980s and Ted Rall is in college. Everything is fine before his pranks lack of focus and restlessness get him expelled. Unable to find a job and rejected by his parents, he considers suicide. By happenstance he finds comfort in the arms of many women as he bed-hops around the five boroughs. It's better than homelessness, but the psychic toll of selling himself and his affection was higher than he imagined. Both acidly funny and brutally honest, Rall, a cartoonist both beloved and reviled for his edgy politics, pours out his guts in this remembrance of this most difficult chapter in his life.
