Stalingrad Khronika

Stalingrad Khronika is a two-volume graphic novel that tells the misadventures of a handful of men from the Red Army, the political Commissariat and the Soviet propaganda bureau who have been commissioned by the top dog himself (Stalin) to film a documentary about the Russian soldiers defending the city of Stalingrad from the Germans, for patriotic propaganda purposes. It's 1942, the place is a complete ruin, and none of the involved sides want to surrender an inch. The Soviets have fully grasped the usefulness of war propaganda to encourage their troops and keep morale up through releasing films and footage praising the courage and sacrifice of their men, and they've sent some of their best film-makers for this purpose. by Franck Bourgeron.

The Complete Crepax

Italian cartoonist Guido Crepax’s comics, saturated with surrealism and sophistication, infused fashion, fine art, sex, history, and the French New Wave into the mid 20th-century adventure serial — and legitimized the erotic genre in Europe. Inspired by 1920s film icon Louise Brooks, his signature character Valentina is a fierce femme fatale and glamorous, globetrotting photographer. Her passion for BDSM flourishes in the anything-goes 1960s and ’70s — and her sensual exploits often occur on the border between dreaming and waking life. The Complete Crepax will collect the entire life’s work of the Italian comics master Guido Crepax (1933–2003) in English for the first time. While some of his work has appeared in English intermittently over the years, there was never an attempt to take a careful, contextual, comprehensive approach to its publication, and certainly not in a deluxe format. This series will correct that injustice. The Complete Crepax will be published in 10 generously sized volumes, each about 350 to 400 pages, each focused on a particular genre or aspect of Crepax’s art.
