HARPER ALLEY
ALMOST SUNSET GN
(W/A) Wahab Algarmi
It's almost sunset, and Hassan has been dreaming about eating since the sun rose that morning. Hassan is facing a hectic month of homework, soccer, and gaming, all while fasting every day for the holy month of Ramadan. Not eating until sundown intensifies Hassan's already busy days—his teachers and friends barely understand Ramadan and its traditions, and it's especially tough keeping up with soccer practice, as the team hopes to win the championship this season. At the same time, Ramadan brings Hassan's family and community closer together: from waking up at sunrise every morning, to feasting and attending mosque in the evenings. As Ramadan stretches on, Hassan struggles to keep up his grades, and his friend Rosie is inching closer to taking his starting spot on the team. Because he's too busy to game with his friends during Ramadan, Rosie also fills in for him with his gaming squad. Hassan wants to be able to do it all—but how can he do that if he's not sharing the truth with everyone, especially himself? (STL351372) (C: 0-1-0)

ART TRASH TERROR ADVENTURES IN STRANGE CINEMA SC
(W) Chris Alexander
From recognized classics (George A. Romero's Dawn Of The Dead, David Lynch's The Elephant Man) to misunderstood masterpieces (Michael Mann's The Keep, Boris Sagal's The Omega Man) to unfairly maligned curios (Kostas Karagiannis' Land Of The Minotaur, Brett Leonard's Hideaway), Chris Alexander takes an alternately serious and playful but always personal look at several strains of international horror, dark fantasy, and exploitation film—motion pictures that transform, transgress, challenge, infuriate, shock, and entertain. Connecting these passionate and critical essays are insightful interviews with revered talents, such as John Waters, Michael Winner, Nicolas Cage, Gene Simmons, William Crain, William Lustig, Werner Herzog, and many more, as well as witty, heartfelt memoirs charting the author's oddball experiences on the fringes of Hollywood and beyond.

(W) Lee Falk (A) Phil Davis
Mandrake the Magician began as a daily strip on June 11, 1934, and whether Lee Falk knew it as a sophomore at the University of Illinois, he was making history.

Lothar appears within the first few days (June 14, 1934), and Narda is introduced in Mandrake's second adventure.

A Prince of the Seven Nations of Africa, Lothar is Mandrake's devoted servant, friend and companion. He is, 'the strongest man in the world,' and decked out in a fez, shorts, and a leopard shirt.
This third volume of the series presents eight stories: 'Mandrake in Hollywood'; 'Sonny the Child Movie Star'; 'Mandrake and the Haunted House': 'Blozz the Chamption'; 'Mandrake in Love'; 'Visitors from Space'; 'The Deep South'; and 'Mandrake in Cockaigne.' (STL351675) (C: 0-1-1)
