The Magnificent Adventure - Milo Manara

Young Giuseppe Bergman, thirsting for escape from the banal, soul-crushing boredom of his everyday life, answers a mysterious ad offering the adventure of a lifetime. But before he even gets a chance to understand what that means, he''s swept up in a headlong rush of outrageously convoluted danger and fast-paced action - for which he is absolutely unprepared - all at the behest of the enigmatic ''H.P.'' and an unseen television audience. Artist/writer/creator Milo Manara skewers adventure comics, ''reality'' TV, and narrative convention itself in this absurdist, sophisticated satire that launches the innocent Giuseppe into the first of many adventures to come. The Magnificent Adventure, complete in one volume.

Michelangelo Merisi de Caravaggio. Jeden z nejslavnějších umělců historie. Citlivý i vzteklý, hedonista i dobrodruh, člověk, který se přes svůj krátký život zapsal do dějin umění, hlavně díky své práci se světlem a stínem. A teď se do jeho života pustil další italský mistr, Milo Manara, aby mu ve svém příběhu složil hold.Manara tady nejenže popisuje Caravaggiům život a vznik jeho děl, ale i svůj malířský styl upravuje tak, aby se to co nejvíce blížilo malířovým vizím.

Borgia - brož. - Alejandro Jodorowsky, Milo Manara

Poznejte skutečnou tvář renesance. Takovou, o které vás ve škole neučili. Renesance, která přináší rozkvět umění a úpadek morálky. Renesance s krví na rukách.Renesance v podání dvou komiksových velmistrů. Ještě před tím, než začaly vznikat o „první zločinecké rodině světa“, papežské rodině, která na konci patnáctého století nelítostně ovládala celou Itálii, hvězdně obsazené seriály, ještě před tím se sešly dvě největší komiksové legendy, aby zpracovaly tuhle fascinující látku po svém. Do profilu rodiny Borgiů se pustil mystik, filozof, skladatel, režisér a uctívaný scenárista Alejandro Jodorowsky (Incal, Metabaroni) a král elegantního erotického komiksu a přítel Frederika Felliniho Milo Manara. Už ti dva samostatně si zasluhují absolutní pozornost (o čemž se v případě Jodorowského už mohli čtenáři přesvědčit magickým Incalem... a na příští rok se od něj chystají Metabaroni) – a což teprve, když se dají dohromady. To pak vznikne něco, co prostě nemůže nikdo minout. Čtyřdílný historický epos Borgia. Monumentální, krutý, smyslný, překrásný a nezapomenutelný.

Germanicus (a.k.a. Germanicus Iulius Caesar) was regarded by many Romans as a hero in the mold of Alexander the Great. His untimely death, in suspicious circumstances, ended the possibility of a return to a more open republic and ambitions for the outright conquest of Germania Magna (Germany). This, the first modern biography of Germanicus, is in parts a growing-up story, a history of war, a tale of political intrigue and a murder mystery. It is a natural sequel to the author''s first book, Eager for Glory, which discussed the life of GermanicusÂ’ natural father, Nero Claudius Drusus, for the first time.Born in 15 BC, Germanicus grew up to be a skilled diplomat and bold soldier. Married to the granddaughter of Augustus (by whom he fathered the future Emperor Caligula) and responsible for avenging RomeÂ’s humiliating defeat at the Teutoburg Forest through victory at Idistaviso (AD16) and the recovery of one of the lost standards, his reputation and popularity were immense.
