Maybe a talking chicken, a literate polar bear, a guy with a six-foot tongue and a prairie dog man are the last people on anyone's list to be their protectors, but it's working out all right. Maybe the far end of the trailer park is the last place anyone would look for heroes, but that's where Zoo Force lives. ZOO FORCE: We Heart Libraries is a special edition of the first three volumes of the hilarious groundbreaking graphic novels by John Ira Thomas and Jeremy Smith.

Literature & Fiction

Contemporary

When you talk to yourself all day, you’re your own best friend; but even friends fight once in a while. And when you’re a bone-breaking psychopath who talks to his underwear, having a friend to see you through the rough times is important.  Unless your new pal’s a psychopath too.   Join the Fearsome Shade on the road to madness and the truckstops that mark the distance from here to the unthinkable.  MAN IS VOX tells its story by exploring both traditional and non-traditional comics media.  It’s a story of shifting perspectives, questionable motives and, yes, some macaroni art.  Take a wild weird ride into madness with the Fearsome Shade, Mr Way, and all the lost souls they encounter.  It also features a cover with character actress Rachel Grant (DIE ANOTHER DAY).

MAN IS VOX: Paingels continues the journey through minds and media begun in MIV: Barracudae.  "Things are gone. Despite best efforts, mnemonics, multi-referential heuristics and plain stubbornness, things are gone. I have no idea what's been accomplished. I have no sense of the strategy set in motion. The Beacon's lesser lights are still with us." It was easy to pity poor confused Samdy: she was lost, insulated from the normal world by the memories she couldn't have. Mr. Way, the Husband and the Shotgun Bride tried to reach her; and now they've fallen in. Pity the saviors.  Man Is Vox: Paingels is by John Ira Thomas and Carter Allen and is recommended for mature audiences only. 2004 FINALIST FOR FOREWORD MAGAZINE'S BOOK OF THE YEAR
