  After losing his leg—and his trademark helmet—B.D. returns home from Iraq to begin a remarkable journey of healing in this Doonesbury book. 
   
  On a road outside Fallujah, an RPG blows apart a Humvee and upends the life of a former football star named B.D. As a medevac chopper swoops down, the wounded Guardsman hears “Not your time, bro. Not today”. The Long Road Home: One Step at a Time chronicles seven months of cutting-edge cartooning, during which B.D.—and readers of the strip—experienced the kind of personal transformation no one seeks. 
   
  B.D. survives first-response Baghdad triage, evacuation to Landstuhl, and visits by innumerable celebs, both red and blue in hue. He's awed in turn by morphine, take-no-guff nurses, his fellow amps, high-tech prostheses that cost more than luxury cars, and his family, including the daughter who hand-delivers succor, one aspirin at a time. 
   
  From rebuilding tissue to rebuilding social skills to rebuilding lives, B.D's inspiring, insightful, and darkly humorous story confirms that it can take a village, or at least a ward, to raise a soldier when he's gone down. “Thank you for getting blown up,” offers one of B.D.'s visiting players. Replies the coach, “Just doing my job.”

  Could a monster whose very look turns men to stone be a challenge too perilous even for the son of Zeus? King Polydectes has designs on Perseus' mother, Danaë. But first the king must get rid of young Perseus once and for all. So Polydectes hatches a plan to trick the young hero into performing an impossible task—slay the snake-haired Gorgon monster Medusa, whose very look turns men to stone. Yet, as the son of Zeus, king of the gods, Perseus has many powerful allies. Will Perseus' strength and courage—and the favor of the gods—allow him to do the impossible?

  To swim in that river full of shining stones was one of the most beautiful things that ever happened in her life. Somehow she knew the names of the stones: emerald, ruby, topaz, sapphire, sardonyx, onyx, jade, pearl, lapis lazuli... she just didn't see any diamonds. It made her think of her grandma’s jewelry box, the one she found in the room where grandmother lived. It was one of those boxes that, when you lifted the lid, a ballerina appeared twirling at the sound of a funny song.” After following a rainbow through the door, Giovanna found herself in a completely different place and having the adventure of a lifetime, the biggest a 10 years old could ever dream of. What she’s going to experience does not happen everyday and is not for the faint of heart. This book will take you on a delightful adventure, the kind of adventure that can only happen when you are 10 years old. By following the Call of Laniwai, Giovanna will leave sadness, boredom and loneliness behind. Life is supposed to be light and FUN!

  The Quest Continues... 
  Meeting another builder had been one thing, but to learn there was a whole city out there was a bit much for Steve to swallow. As much as he hates to admit it, he’s nervous. Nervous about the idea of leaving the home he’s made for himself, of leaving the village behind, of meeting other builders and perhaps, learning that he’s not the best of the best. For so many years he’s just been Steve, the only builder. Steve, the Hero. 
  What if he isn’t the only Hero out there? Worse still, what if no one needs him around at all? What if he gets to the new city and discovers he’s not at all special? 
  But as Alex and Steve make their way across the land, the two discover strange sights. Unsettling sights. It looks like the city isn’t the only new, alarming thing for Steve to uncover - someone else is walking among the wilds, and they’re looking to cause trouble. 
  It’s up to Steve and Alex to find a way to stop it.
