Summary

An alternative world where prohibition never ended and in fact expanded to include firearms and tobacco.  Twenty years after the fall of Capone and the rise to fame of Eliot Ness comes a new group of Treasury agents named the "Untouchables".  Here, the rag-time bunch of misfits and sharpshooters are out to take their city back.  In this new puritan era, gambling seems to be the only vice allowed by law, so casinos have sprouted up, rivaling the neon-glory days of Las Vegas.  Gun fights, car chases, informants, gangsters, cops, nightclubs and sexy dames galore can be found in this hard-boiled alternative take on the days of the Mob. Collects issues 1-5. From Joe Pruett (X-Men Unlimited), John Kissee (MAD Magazine, Raven Chronicles), Chris Dreier (Angel, Crossed)
Available since: 07/13/2016.

    In 1936, Adolf Hitler attempted to make the Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany, a showcase of Nazi superiority with a new stadium and the first television broadcast of the Games. He didn't account for African-American sprinter and long jumper James Cleveland "Jesse" Owens, who smashed records throughout his track and field career.

Owens turned Hitler's Olympic vision on its head by winning four gold medals in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and long jump. Along the way, he broke or equaled nine Olympic records and set three world records. In graphic nonfiction style, this biography takes readers from Owens's early life to his historic athletic triumphs.

    As we find ourselves at the cusp of an economic downturn, there has been a clear reinvigoration of Keynesian economics as governments are attempting to stimulate the market through public funds. Forming his economic theories in the wake of the Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes argued that a healthy economy depended on the total spending of consumers, business investors and, most importantly, governments too. Keynes formulated that governments should take control of the economy in the short term, rather than relying on the market, because, as he eloquently put it 'in the long run, we are all dead'. This graphic guide is the ideal introduction to one of the most influential economists of the 20th century, at a time when his theories may be crucial to our economic survival. Through a deft mixture of words and images, "Introducing Keynes" is a timely, accessible and enjoyable read.
