The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel's transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy.
A Penguin Classics Marvel Collection Edition
It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.
The Black Panther is not just a super hero; as King T'Challa, he is also the monarch of the hidden African nation of Wakanda. Combining the strength and stealth of his namesake with a creative scientific intelligence, the Black Panther is an icon of Afro-futurist fantasy. This new anthology includes the Black Panther's 1966 origin tale and the entirety of the critically acclaimed "Panther's Rage" storyline from his 1970s solo series.
A foreword by Nnedi Okorafor, a scholarly introduction and apparatus by Qiana J. Whitted, and a general series introduction by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of Black Panther and classic Marvel comics.
The Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-color art throughout.
This debut novel is way beyond OK. It is outstanding.
—— USA TodayAn impressive debut-.[Winston] reminds us that we can still be funny, sarcastic, aware and smart, even when we are brokenhearted.
—— Washington PostWinston writes Sophie with such tenderness, humour and empathy that she and the reader become intimate-Very good indeed.
—— People magazineA memorable debut
—— Woman's OwnOne of the best first novels I have ever read.
—— Anne Rivers Siddons[A] witty, big-hearted novel.
—— Jennifer Weiner, bestselling author of Good in Bed and In Her ShoesAn exceptionally beautiful book about loneliness, labor, and survival. Beaton is a thoughtful guide through a complex landscape of class and gender, and these pages ache with grief and grace.
—— Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream HouseKate Beaton's comics are rich with quiet revelations, intimate details, and a deadpan, devastating sense of humor. A generous and illuminating book; I suspect it will stay on my mind for a very long time.
—— Anna Wiener, author of Uncanny ValleyDucks is an unforgettable, riveting work. Kate Beaton opens the mind's eye, allowing us to inhabit landscapes and experiences crucial to our time, yet largely unseen. Artful, considered and courageous, Ducks is a landmark work.
—— Madeleine Thien, author of Do Not Say We Have NothingDucks delivers an immersive, harrowing journey through an industry where the lure of fast money belies darker realities of casual brutality, profound loneliness and soul-cracking isolation. The uneasy echoes of Beaton's story ring well past the the final page. Shattering.
—— Jessica Bruder, author of Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First CenturyHonest, compassionate, and clear-eyed, Ducks is a stunning achievement in storytelling that I will be thinking about for a long time.
—— Jung Yun, author of O BeautifulEngrossing.
—— Irish ExaminerDucks moves into dark territory - including sexual assault - but Beaton... balances light and shade. No place or person is wholly good or bad, not even the oil sands with their dark satanic drills.
—— TelegraphAn astonishing graphic novel/memoir whose precise drawings capture Bechdel's life-long hunt for transcendence through physical exertion.
—— Simon Kuper and Murad Ahmed , Financial Times, *Books of the Year*The biggest event of the year was the return of Alison Bechdel... Bechdel's previous books have made her one of the superstars of graphic fiction, and this funny, perceptive and merciless account shows that...her talent remains undimmed.
—— James Smart , Guardian, *Books of the Year*The Secret to Superhuman Strength... demands to be reread immediately... and does the reader far more good than a Peloton class and a cup of turmeric tea.
—— Rachel Cooke , Observer, *Books of the Year*A joyful book, a feast of colour, wit and ideas about living in ever-changing times
—— Max Liu , iNews, *Books of the Year*The brilliant cartoonist traces her own history of (sometimes obsessive) exercise in this stunning graphic memoir.
—— Bill Hayes , Reader's Digest
