Book Description
Get swept up in this historical graphic novel trilogy rich in great events and human tragedies from the First World War, through the Russian Revolution, the Popular Front, and the Spanish Civil War. By the creator of the award-winning Flight of the Raven, Jean-Pierre Gibrat creates a beautifully drawn and deeply emotional graphic novel following the singular destiny of a man caught up in the fervent passions of a tumultuous period that begins with the Great War of 1914. In a small town at the foot of the Pyrenees on the French Mediterranean, lifelong friends are called to arms, except for Mattéo, who, as the son of Spanish refugees, is exempt from service. Yet when his fellow villagers--including Juliet, the woman he loves--express disdain for his pacifism, he embarks on an epic adventure that will have a resounding impact on all their lives.

"Yellow Kid" Weil
Author: J.R. WeilPublisher: AK Press
ISBN: 1849350523
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Bilked bankers, grifted gamblers, and swindled spinsters: welcome to the world of confidence men. You'll marvel at the elaborate schemes developed by The Yellow Kid and cry for the marks who lost it all to his ingenuity—$8,000,000 by some estimations. Fixed horse races, bad real-estate deals, even a money-making machine—all were tools of the trade for the Kid and his associates: the Swede, the Butterine Kid, the Harmony Kid, Fats Levine, and others. The Sting (1973), starring Paul Newman and based largely on the story of the Yellow Kid, is entertaining, but is no match for the real deal.
