Freedom Fighters in a Dystopian World

The mysterious V fights an undergound war of wills against a fascist Great Britian of the future.

A frightening and powerful story of the loss of freedom and identity in a totalitarian world, V for Vendetta takes place in an alternate future in which Germany wins WWII and Britain becomes a fascist state. A vigilante named "V" stalks the streets of London trying to free England of its ideological chains. Moore's poetic language coupled with Lloyd's eerie, washed-out color art makes this a captivating read sure to stay with you.

HOUSE OF JAVA
by Mark Murphy
B&W
Paperback: 64 pages
NBM Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1561632023
$8.95
An enjoyable set of "slice of life" stories.
Murphy's stories in HOUSE OF JAVA are honest looks at relationships: romantic, platonic, intergenerational, and otherwise. The stories hold the reader's attention, and the characters are drawn with wit, intelligence, and compassion.
.
“One of the best graphic albums of the year! A must-read book.”
--Tony Isabella
ComicsLit is proud to launch another talented newcomer in a collection of short slice-of-life stories quietly but strongly etching various facets of our lives, making us think about ourselves and how we act with others. The House of Java is a coffee house where little flashes on all sorts of people that happen in for a cup are sprinkled among other stories such as "Welcome to Seattle" where a girl leaves her home town for the first time to meet her boyfriend. But he stands her up and she is left to fend for herself in a strange town. As it turns out, it's a liberating experience and once she does stumble on to him, he is amazed at her transformation, so similar to his own. Reminiscent of the insightful work of Adrian Tomine.
.
“Murphy is worth keeping an eye on.”
--Kirkus Reviews
.
"Memorable stories and characters and popular themes recommend this graphic story collection to most public libraries."
--Library Journal
.
"Wholly engaging. Young adults will be pulled into the selections immediately and will be able to identify with one or more members of the realistic and sympathetic cast."
--School Library Journal

From School Library Journal
A collection of short stories in graphic-novel format about the denizens of a Seattle coffee shop and its local environs. Opening with a hilarious speech about the sanctity of black coffee and the evils of tainting its full flavor with milk, sugar, and suburban drabness, the first story moves readers around the House of Java to give salient peeks into the lives of college students, senior citizens, and a mismatched, middle-aged couple. Subsequent stories reveal a nightmare rest stop (the only story set away from the House of Java), a newlywed couple losing their honeymoonlike regard for one another, a Texas teenager's attempt to track down her wandering boyfriend, a college student's fascination with a silent elderly man, and a teenage boy's attempt to find missing children. Interspersed are scenes from everyday life at the coffeehouse, all depicted with workmanlike black-and-white drawings. In contrast to the unremarkable artwork, the text is refined and wholly engaging. Readers will be pulled into the selections immediately and will be able to identify with one or more members of the realistic and sympathetic cast.

The 'NAM
by Doug Murray & Michael Golden
Paperback: 96 pages
Marvel Books
ISBN: 0785107185
$14.95
THE 'NAM was a great series on an individual's experiences in the Vietnam war, and the story is told in real-time, following Ed Marks through his tour of duty in 12 monthly issues. Writer Doug Murray is a vet, so he knows his subject. Artist Michael Golden (the original MICRONAUTS) did a fantastic job, almost cartoony, but with much realism and focus on the technical aspects.  This edition collects the first four issues from that series.

SOUTHERN-FRIED HOMICIDE
by Michael H. Price and selected artists
b&w
Paperback: 80 pages
Cremo Studios/Shel-Tone Publications
ISBN: 0966376609
$7.95
Michael H. Price's collaborators include underground comics legend Frank Stack (Adventures of Jesus), humor high prince Mark Martin, Hollywood historian George Turner, Mark Evan Walker, Adrian Martinez (Heavy Metal ), Don Mangus, Todd Camp, Dennis Spies, writer John Woolly and the inimitable Spencer Williams, Jr.!
David LeBlanc (ComicBkNet@aol.com), Comic Book Net Electronic Newsletter 1998:
The accompanying press release indicated this work is "an awesome anthology of short comic book stories featuring fact and fictional tales of murder most foul, shocking suspense, and disturbing down home folklore." It is extensive and does cover a wide range of story types. And it certainly is SOUTHERN-FRIED, to the point of annoyance in some places with the phonetic accents laid on a bit too thick. What it does do is catch the mood of the classic 50s crime comics and pulp fiction. The art with very few exceptions is up to par and on occasion stands out and grabs your attention. [...] 

As a whole the work is indeed amazing as it crams an awful lot of variety in 80 pages. Certainly something here for most folk, unless you just don't take a hankerin' to no southern slang.
