Sinopse

"Queer Print Power" explores the vital role LGBTQ+ comic publishing houses play in shaping cultural expression and driving social change. These independent publishers have provided platforms for marginalized voices, challenging mainstream narratives through visual storytelling and expanding the boundaries of comic art. The book reveals how these houses act as incubators of queer culture, fostering representation and impacting social movements. Did you know that these publishing houses have not only promoted diverse identities but have also actively shaped queer history and the evolution of comics?

 
The book progresses across three key sections. It begins by establishing foundational concepts and tracing the historical development of LGBTQ+ comic publishing, from its underground comix roots to its contemporary forms. It then delves into specific publishing houses across different regions, analyzing their unique approaches to content creation, distribution, and community engagement. Case studies illustrate diverse strategies used to overcome challenges and promote their work. Finally, the book synthesizes findings to demonstrate the broader implications for cultural expression, social activism, and the future of the comics industry, considering the impact of digital platforms on queer representation.

 
The book’s unique approach lies in its focus on the publishing houses themselves, offering a broader understanding of the systemic factors that shape LGBTQ+ representation.

Archdeacon Grantly Walks Again -...

Michael Higgins

Anthony Trollope’s novels contain vivid character sketches of clergy, from bishops to curates, as watchers of the BBC TV Barchester series will know. Here are priests where snobbery, jealousy, ambition and greed sit alongside love, kindness and generosity, often in equal measure.

 
Alongside each of his twelve pictures of Trollopian priests, Michael Higgins has created their modern counterparts, Trollope’s Church of England may have been better attended and more prosperous than it is today yet the humble, quiet and attractive Mr Harding and the climbing ambitious Mr Slope still walk the streets of our parishes. They stand as living proof human nature never changes, the simple truth underlined by each pair of characters in this book.

 
Here is a gripping, thought provoking read which will tell you more about clergy than you knew or imagined – whether you are “into” Church matters or a curious outsider.

Sovok - The Memoirs of a Liar?

Kevin McKinney

Witness first-hand the transition from Soviet Union to liberated Russia and its return to a regime of tyranny and injustice from the perspective of a foreigner who lived through it. McKinney describes his interactions for over twenty years with dissidents, billionaires, artists, cosmonauts, mob bosses, presidents, prosecutors, and prime ministers, while constantly breaking laws and bending rules, as mostly every character in the book also does. He introduces some of the most dangerous, loyal, and hospitable people, and often they're one in the same person.
Described by one literary critic as "Jack Kerouac, narrating the adventures of Thomas Pynchon's character, Tyrone Slothrop, only in Russia," Sovok takes you on a front-row view of the transition from Soviet Union to liberated Russia and then how it went back to today's tyranny.
If a movie plot, it would be a blend of Grand Hotel Budapest, Wolf of Wall Street, Bonfire of the Vanities, Snatch, Eastern Promises, and Everything is Illuminated. By declaring himself a liar, the author prods the reader to question everyone and everything. Through personal stories, one of Sovok's central themes is that a network of loyal and moral friends can circumvent the strictest government regulations and defeat criminal syndicates. Sovok falls into one or a dozen categories of book. The one category it is not is ordinary.
"Everything is so realistic that is seems invented," - Italy
"The impression is incredible. I feel like I'm in reading science fiction, yet I am one of the characters. Events are described not as I knew them, but completely differently. It's as if the author saw them from a different angle, and that the author's angle is truer than the distorted view I saw them from. This is the best thing I've read in many years." - Ukraine
"I am totally, completely, absolutely and entirely fascinated. The things you write about are so well familiar to me. I love it." - Russia

For Which He Stands - The True...

Karen Alea

Jose "Pepin" Almeida is an unlikely hero. He never acted in the movies, never threw the winning pass, never sat in high office. Even his involvement in the event that u-turned his life, the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, failed and became a national embarrassment. 
He laments, "We were in a helpless and hopeless situation." But Pepin Almeida soon, out of necessity, created his own hope. Denied all tangible things- clothes, family, food, he discovered his soul, his only true possession.

Variations in Verse

Dorothy M. Mitchell

My writing enables me to reach beyond the limitations of my Multiple Sclerosis. I have suffered this illness for over thirty years, having many relapses during that time. 
But when I write I am transported from the mundane into the realms of delight and wonder be it poetry or novel, I’m far too busy to be ill. 
Please read and enjoy!
