(W) Gou Tanabe (A) Gou Tanabe (CT) Zack Davisson From the modern horror master Gou Tanabe, comes the manga adaptation of H.P Lovecraft's The Shadow Out of Time. First published in 1936 in the legendary pulp magazine Astounding Stories, this is the complete story in one volume with tip-in title page in metallic gold ink and eight pages in color!Professor Peaslee of Miskatonic University has been acting very strange-could he be out of his mind? No…his mind is out of him!Just because one lives in Arkham-just because one teaches there at Miskatonic University-it doesn't mean one has any interest in the occult-in the abnormal. That was always the view of Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee, a respectable professor of political economy. Until that one Thursday in 1908, when Professor Peaslee suddenly began to see in front of him not his students in their lecture hall, but strange shapes inhabiting a grotesque chamber. He collapsed unconscious, and when he awoke, he was strange…very strange.Seemingly unable to recall his identity, the mind inside the body of Nathaniel Peaslee was oddly uninterested in the person he had been. The psychologists were baffled as he sought not to recover his old memory, but to obsessively study the world around him, travelling to distant lands, reading occult books, disturbing others with his odd perspectives on time and existence. He alienated and frightened people-his friends, his wife, even most of his children, except for his youngest son, who believed that one day Nathaniel Peaslee would come back.And then, in 1913, Professor Peaslee did come back, with no memory of his strange sabbatical, but deeply disturbed by the dreams and visions it left him with. His search for the past five years gone missing from his life will lead Peaslee to other cases of lost identity resembling his…and eventually to an ancient city in the Australian desert-from where a long-vanished race still casts their shadow out of time.

(W) Ariela Kristantina From Ariela Kristantina, artist of the Eisner Award-nominated graphic novel Adora and the Distance, The Girl Who Draws on Whales is a testimony to the power of stories--their uncanny ability to entertain, educate and, ultimately, unite us. Reminiscent of stories like Moana, Princess Mononoke, The Never-Ending Story, Frozen, and Snow Angels, The Girl Who Draws on Whales is an epic YA grahic novel adventure about two siblings struggling for survival, who must use their art to save their world.The Girl Who Draws on Whales is set in a fantasy world, several centuries after “The Great Flood.” Sister Wangi and younger brother Banyu live in a sea-village. Wangi has a special bond with the Great Whales that visit their sea-village and they allow Wangi to draw on their backs. Sometimes they return with new drawings on them. Wangi believes that there are other sea-villages or island settlements scattered around and that they are sending her messages but, none of the elders listen to her.One day, a new whale arrives in the village alone, wounded, and dying--this whale has a new drawing on her back that doesn't look like the previous drawings. Inspired by this mystery, Wangi vows to investigate. Although forbidden by her parents and the village elders, Wangi--along with a stowaway, who happens to be her brother Banyu--embark on a wondrous journey to investigate where the drawings are coming from only to find much more than they were expecting.Praise for The Girl Who Draws on Whales:I already loved Ariela's work, and this book sets a new benchmark -- beautifully evocative artwork coupled with a touching tale for the ages. Highly recommended.--JOCK (Gone, Wytches, Detective Comics)I vibed following these kids on their epic journey, trusting their own compass even when every adult warned them off. The art pops with color, and honestly, it felt as refreshing as biting into a watermelon on a summer day.”--Alexandre Tefenkgi (Eisner-winning artist of THE GOOD ASIAN)
