    This anthology from the acclaimed comic strip delves into the weirdness of America as it enters the twenty-first century, dot com, Dubya, and all. 
     
    Even challenging George “Dubya” Bush to a “pronunciation bee” can't save Uncle Duke's weird horse race for the White House. In the end, the former Ambassador passes out in a snowbank while the Cheney Administration kicks into high gear. Predictablistically, the new presidential syntax isn't the only thing that's tortured and strange.

    On the day of the assault, I sat peacefully in the park engrossed in a book when slavers descended upon monstrous ships, snatching everyone in sight, myself included. 
    Transported to the sinister confines of Nuerva, its skyline dominated by jagged edifices, I became the possession of a man known as the Captain, enduring captivity under his cruel whims. It took me many days to summon the courage to flee. 
    Alone and terrified, I fled to the farthest reaches of the city, where a glimmer of hope awaited. Across the expanse lay another city, vibrant and colorful, promising sanctuary. All I had to do was traverse the bridge. 
    But fate intervened. At the cusp of freedom, on the threshold between light and darkness, a gunshot shattered my escape. 
    Yet, my story wasn't over. Death would not claim me yet; destiny had other plans in store. 
    Note: "The Black City of Nuerva" in print format is an intimate voyage recounted through the eyes of its protagonist in first-person narrative. Throughout the book, the main character fluidly embodies both male and female perspectives. Complementing the narrative are 60 original artworks, each meticulously crafted to reimagine key moments within the story. The creation of this book and its accompanying artwork spanned several years, reflecting the dedication and toil invested in bringing this imaginative world to life.

    Mr. Salton gave instructions to have ready a carriage early on the important day, to start for Stafford, where he would catch the 11:40 a.m. train. He would stay that night with his grand-nephew, either on the ship, which would be a new experience for him, or, if his guest should prefer it, at a hotel. In either case they would start in the early morning for home.   
    He had given instructions to his bailiff to send the postilion carriage on to Southampton, to be ready for their journey home, and to arrange for relays of his own horses to be sent on at once. He intended that his grand-nephew, who had been all his life in Australia, should see something of rural England on the drive. He had plenty of young horses of his own breeding and breaking, and could depend on a journey memorable to the young man.   
    The luggage would be sent on by rail to Stafford, where one of his carts would meet it.   
    Mr. Salton, during the journey to Southampton, often wondered if his grand-nephew was as much excited as he was at the idea of meeting so near a relation for the first time; and it was with an effort that he controlled himself. The endless railway lines and switches round the Southampton Docks fired his anxiety afresh.   
    As the train drew up on the dockside, he was getting his hand traps together, when the carriage door was wrenched open and a young man jumped in.   
    “How are you, uncle? I recognized you from the photo you sent me! I wanted to meet you as soon as I could, but everything is so strange to me that I didn’t quite know what to do. However, here I am. I am glad to see you, sir. I have been dreaming of this happiness for thousands of miles; now I find that the reality beats all the dreaming!”

    The fourth volume of this retrospective anthology covers the Pulitzer prize-winning cartoon strip from 2000 to 2010. 
     
    On October 26, 1970, G.B. Trudeau introduced the world to a college jock named B.D. and his inept and geeky roommate, Mike Doonesbury. Fourteen thousand strips later, Doonesbury has become one of the most beloved and acclaimed comic strips in history. Over the years, the world of Doonesbury grew uniquely vast, sustained by an intricately woven web of relationships—over forty major characters spanning three generations.  
     
    The complete 40: A Doonesbury Anthology presents more than 1,800 comic strips that chart key adventures and cast connections over the last four decades. Dropped in throughout this rolling narrative are twenty detailed essays in which Trudeau contemplates his characters, including portraits of core characters such as Duke and Honey, Zonker, Joanie, and Rev. Sloan, as well as more recent additions, such as Zipper, Alex, and Toggle. Trudeau also includes an annotated diagram that maps the mind-boggling matrix of character relationships.  
     
    This fourth volume of the four-volume e-book edition of 40 covers the years 2000 to 2010 for the celebrated cartoon strip.
