On sale October 26, HC, 72pg, b&w, 6" x 9", $14.95
This is a true story about the most interesting person you’ve never
heard of: Arthur Cravan, major figure in pre-WWI cutting-edge art circles,
was among the greatest mysterious figures of the Twentieth Century. A
self-confessed thief, forger, and con artist, he used a roster of
assumed names and false identities. He was known, at various times, as a
novelist, poet, painter, art critic, lecturer, publisher, and French Boxing
Champion. Always a rebellious, restless spirit, this dedicated
rule-breaker was a political radical whose friendship with Leon Trotsky earned
him the surveillance of the U.S. government—even through his
immigration to Mexico with his wife, the poet Mina Loy. In 1918, at the age of
thirty-one, the fascinating physical giant vanished without a trace,
and—despite several supposed sightings over the years—was never seen again.
Is it possible that he became the mysterious, reclusive novelist B.
Traven, who wrote The Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

President's current offices in London to go in and get it. Yet, not everyone
in the world wants to see America back in the saddle again …

the claws of unseen monsters. The arrival of a strange yet familiar fog
reveals that the curse has found them, but even they don’t know what
that has to do with a pyromaniac refugee from the Civil War, the
disappearance of one of their sons, or the terrible change coming over the
Americans in this small seaside town.

Beginning in feudal Japan of 1704, Samurai: Heaven & Earth follows
Shiro, a lone samurai warrior sworn to be reunited with the love of his
life who has been spirited away by his enemies. His pursuit of Yoshiko
will carry him farther than he could have imagined —-from his native Japan
to the sprawling empire of China, across Europe, and finally to Paris
itself. There, in the fabled halls of King Louis XIV’s Versailles, he
must cross blades with the greatest swordsmen ever known if he is to
reclaim his love.
Ron Marz and artist Luke Ross, fresh off their triumphant finale on
Green Lantern, have turned their skills to a historical epic in the
tradition of Lone Wolf and Cub and Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers.
Joined by Eisner-nominated colorist Jason Keith, they have produced a

YOU DESERVED IT TPB
BOB FINGERMAN (W/A)
On sale October 12, SC, 88pg, FC, 6" x 9", $9.95
Is Bob Fingerman a cynical misanthrope or a disappointed humanitarian?
Dare we suggest maybe both? In You Deserved It, the sensitive creator
of the acclaimed graphic novel Beg the Question accesses his darker
side, serving up this caustic collection of comical cautionary chronicles.
What Beg the Question was to sex and romance, You Deserved It is to
wanton violence and social wrongness.
From Otis Goes Hollywood, the epic saga of a homicidally puritanical
meat packer with dreams of making it big in Hollywood, to Missing Pieces,
a yarn about the extracurricular activities of paramedics, to Buying
Bologna, about a guy who just really, really loves his luncheon meat, to
Yiffy Situation, a fuzzy fable about fornicating Furries, You Deserved
It serves up enough yarns to make one hilariously misanthropic sweater,
all in living—and dying—color!
Third "Asterix" film planned
"Asterix and the Olympic Games" brings back Gerard Depardieu as Obelix and will feature Jean-Claude Van Damme as Roman athlete Cornedurus.
Here are details from the French site Allocine, translated rather amusingly using Babelfish:
Explosive casting for Astérix with the Olympic Games!
The third adapted cinematographic shutter of the famous comic strips of Albert Uderzo and Rene Goscinny will accomodate Alain Delon in the role of the Emperor Jules César.
Other taking part of size (and muscles) in the adventure: the Belgian actor Jean-Claude Van Damme, who will lend his silhouette bodybuildée to the Roman athlete Cornedurus.
The information collected by AFP this Wednesday June 8 near the editions Albert Rene. The contract to launch the project was signed by Albert Uderzo, Jerome Seydoux, owner of Pathé, and the company of production the Small Queen, directed by Thomas Langmann.
So, there you have it!

Katie Holmes as Wonder Woman
She can put up with Tom Cruise, so perhaps she has the heroic powers needed to pull off starring as the amazon princess on the big screen.

"I was part of the majority of girls that loved ‘Wonder Woman,'" Katie told reporters. She's got some experience in reprising comic-book roles. Her latest film, "Batman Begins," in which she plays Bruce Wayne's "lady friend," opens next week.
