Wheeling - volume 1

Hugo Pratt

Sinopse

1774. Criss Kenton, a 17 year old who has fled Virginia after the massacre of his family by the Indians, and Patrick Fitzgerald, an English aristocrat who has immigrated to America, make each other’s acquaintance while participating in a series of organized raids on Indian tribes. During one of these raids they meet Mohena, a young woman who has been raised by the Shawnees.  As their adventures unfold, the friendship between Criss and Pat grows stronger, but soon the War of Independence against England breaks out and the two friends find themselves on opposing sides. A great story of friendship and loyalty, Wheeling leaves ample room for History, as many of its characters actually existed. In that regard, Pratt said, “In Wheeling, as in other stories, I try to imagine something imaginary embedded in the context of precise historical references. But at times the truth is more surprising than the imagination.” (Hugo Pratt, All’Ombra di Corto)

Je Kidhrey Rab Takraje

Dalip Kaur Tiwana

“Je Kidhrey Rab TakRajey” is a powerful Punjabi social novel set in a small village lane, Gabhli Bheehi, portraying the everyday life, relationships, beliefs, and emotional struggles of rural society. Through vividly drawn characters such as Bishni Buddi, Sadhu, Jaikaur, and other villagers, the novel brings the village atmosphere to life with remarkable realism. The author skillfully explores themes of poverty, suffering, women’s hardships, social hypocrisy, and blind faith deeply rooted in village culture. The character of Bishni Buddi stands out as a symbol of pain, anger, resistance, and questioning—so much so that she dares to challenge even God for the injustices she has endured. The novel critically examines the gap between religious rituals and human suffering, compelling readers to reflect on faith, tradition, and moral responsibility. “Je Kidhrey Rab Tak Rajey” is a poignant and honest portrayal of Punjabi rural life and the inner conflicts of the human soul, making it a significant work in Punjabi literature.

I Am the Law - How Judge Dredd...

Michael Molcher

He is the law—and you better believe it! 
 
 
 
Judge, jury, and executioner, Judge Dredd is the brutal comic book cop policing the chaotic future urban jungle of Mega-City One, created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra and launching in the pages of 2000 AD in 1977. 
 
 
 
But what began as a sci-fi action comic quickly evolved into a searing satire on hardline, militarized policing and "law and order" politics, its endless inventiveness and ironic humor acting as a prophetic warning about our world today—and with important lessons for our future. 
 
 
 
Blending comic book history with contemporary radical theories on policing, I Am The Law takes key Dredd stories from the last forty-five years and demonstrates how they provide a unique wake up call about our gradual, and not so gradual, slide towards authoritarian policing. 
 
 
 
From the politicization of policing to "zero tolerance," from violent suppression of protest to the rise of the surveillance state, I Am The Law examines how a comic book warned us about the chilling endgame of today's "law and order" politics.
