Lucky In Love : A Poor Man's History

from $9.59

Unit price
per

“I was fifteen in 1942, and I was five foot three, which is the tallest I ever was. I had jet black hair and a smile as big as day.”Readers and moviegoers have read and seen many growing-up-in-the-big- city-then-being-drafted-into-World-War-II tales, both real and fictional, but none with the visual pizazz and feisty humor of Lucky in Love.Co-created by George L. Chieffet (script) and veteran cartoonist and animator Stephen DeStefano (plot and art), Lucky in Love is almost the flipside to dramatic works on the same theme such as Alan’s War and You’ll Never Know. Elegantly drawn in a supremely confident, lively, cartoony black-and-white style that recalls Milt Gross as well as classic Disney animation and comics, Lucky in Love is a unique coming-of-age story that follows its lovable eponymous hero Lucky Testatuda from his rascally teen years in Hoboken, New Jersey’s Little Italy to his induction into the air force and subsequent wartime experiences.Lucky in Love shows what happens when a feisty young man merges his erotic fantasies with 1940s film myths: Moving from the ’40s to present day (from which an aged, present-day Lucky looks back on his life), the book contrasts Lucky’s vivid fantasy life with the darker reality of World War II (including a masterful set-piece sequence that echoes Harvey Kurtzman’s classic EC war comics) as well as his first fumbling, cash-on-the-barrelhead sexual experiences. ultimately the poignant discoveries Lucky makes on his way to adulthood bestow upon him a very different kind of heroism than that of which he had dreamed...The second and concluding volume, Lucky in Love: Lucky for Life will be released in 2013.

"Take That" in Private

Regular price $2.31 $2.00 Save up to 44%

Unit price
per

Take That are the most successful pop act of the 1990s. In 1994 alone, they have already picked up the prestigious Brit Awards for "Best British Single" and "Best British Video", and gone straight in at number one with "Everything Changes", the first group ever to have four consecutive number one hits. Take That have established themselves as successful, popular and above all durable, due not least to the performance and songwriting skills within the group. On their last album, all the tracks bar one song were self-penned, mainly by the talented Gary Barlow. In a fickle market, and at a time when album and particularly singles sales are depressed, the ability to shift numbers is impressive. This book is designed for fans of the group bringing together the band's official photographer Philip Ollerenshaw with the band's preferred writer, Alex Kadis. Given total access on and off stage, they have created a portrait of the real Take That - Gary, Howard, Jason, Mark and Robbie concentrating on more personal and private moments, and giving fresh insight to the band by going beyond the usual pretty faces.

Who was the turn-of-the-century hipster? Who is free enough of the hipster taint to write its history without contempt or nostalgia?

from $10.38

Unit price

Children choose their heroes more carefully than we think. From Pokémon to the rapper Eminem, pop-culture icons are not simply commercial pied pipers who practice mass hypnosis on our youth. Indeed, argues the author of this lively and persuasive paean to the power of popular culture, even trashy or violent entertainment gives children something they need, something that can help both boys and girls develop in a healthy way. Drawing on a wealth of true stories, many gleaned from the fascinating workshops he conducts, and basing his claims on extensive research, including interviews with psychologists and educators, Gerard Jones explains why validating our children's fantasies teaches them to trust their own emotions and build stronger selves.
