Youre Next Loss Of Identity In Horror Films SC
Genre: Books Unknown
RRP: $25
Our Price: $22.5
Published: 30/07/2008

edited by Anthony Ambrogio Loss of identity, submergence of self, death of the soul – under various names and in various guises – befalls individuals trapped in a horror/sf/fantasy universe. An examination of the ways in which this fundamental terror is visited upon people in the movies – and what it does to them – could provide a new perspective on – and greater understanding of – the films that employ it and perhaps lead to a deeper appreciation of what it means to be human and why losing that defining aspect of our lives is so profoundly frightening. Offering a fresh look at horror films, this A-Z guide covers films such as The Alligator People, Blade Runner, Brazil, The Creeping Unknown, Fifth Element, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and many other genre films.

Genre: Books Superhero
RRP: $49.95
Our Price: $39.96
Published: 12/11/2008

by Scott McCloud Long before manga took the American comics market by storm, Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics) combined the best ideas from manga, alternative comics, and superheroes into Zot! – a frenetic and innovative exploration of comics’ potential that helped set the stage for McCloud’s later groundbreaking theoretical work. Zachary T. Paleozogt lives in ‘the far-flung future of 1965,’ a utopian Earth of world peace, robot butlers, and flying cars. Jenny Weaver lives in an imperfect world of disappointment and broken promises, the Earth we live in. Stepping across the portals to each other’s worlds, Zot and Jenny’s lives will never be the same again. Now, for the first time since its original publication more than twenty years ago, every one of McCloud’s pages from the black and white series has been collected in this must-have commemorative edition for aficionados to treasure and new fans to discover.

Genre: Books Superhero
RRP: $22.95
Our Price: $20.65
Published: 16/07/2008

Comic book afficionados rejoice! The best of the cult classic series, Zot!, first created by Scott McCloud in 1984, is soon to be reprised in this arresting trade paperback compilation, with bonus material! Zachary T. Paleozogt, popularly known as Zot, is a blond-haired, blue-eyed teenage hero from an alternate Earth – this alternate reality is a retro-futuristic technological utopia where flying cars, robots and interplanetary travel are common and nearly all of its inhabitants benefit from peace, prosperity, and a marked lack of conventional social ills. Jaunting back and forth between the two worlds seems exciting for Zot at first, but there are subtle differences in the essential nature of the two planets that take some getting used to. On Zot’s world, events naturally favor the ‘good guys’ in any conflict, while on Earth, Zot is a less successful hero, reflecting the fact that our world clearly does not conform to the same rules as his. Nevertheless, Zot eagerly takes on Earth’s challenges with the……

by Richard Knaak Azeroth has seen upheaval such as the mage, Krasus, could not in all his centuries of existence have ever dreamt. The Undead Scourge, the Plaguelands, none of this even an ancient dragon – for Krasus is in reality the red drake, Korialstrasz – could have prevented. Yet, ever protective of the world and, especially, the younger races, he continues, through both his own powers and the use of agents, to do what he can to bring, if not peace, then respite. Though demons and conquerors have made up much of the troubles he has been forced to contain, it is the dragons, his own kind, that disturb him most. Their stirrings portend of dark times ahead. War is coming, a conflict on a scale unimagined, heralded by a storm of wings, and fought with arcane fire in which all of Azeroth may burn!
