Every night for three years the vengeful King Shahriyar sleeps with a different virgin, executing her next morning. To end this brutal pattern and to save her own life, the vizier's daughter, Shahrazad, begins to tell the king tales of adventure, love, riches and wonder - tales of mystical lands peopled with princes and hunchbacks, the Angel of Death and magical spirits, tales of the voyages of Sindbad, of Ali Baba's outwitting a band of forty thieves and of jinnis trapped in rings and in lamps. The sequence of stories will last 1,001 nights.

The delicate balance between cops and criminals is in peril in this gritty noir graphic novel presented in deluxe packaging, including an oversized hardcover housed in a slipcase with a portfolio and print. Dwight owes a debt to the girls of Old Town. These dangerous women who walk the night have saved him more times than he can count, and finding friends like that isn’t easy. Tonight, these friends are being threatened in more ways than one . . . Dwight is going to do whatever it takes to bring them peace and keep the status quo—even if it means killing a whole lot of people. Frank Miller’s return to his comic opus graphic novel series continues with the luxury edition of Volume 3 The Big Fat Kill. High-end materials and finishes, and iconic textures from the series combine in a package which evokes the striking asphalt jungle that is Sin City. Housed in a cloth-covered slipcase with foil stamping and printing is an oversized hardcover featuring a soft-touch matte finish with spot gloss and foil stamping. The slipcase includes a cloth portfolio featuring a deluxe print of new artwork by Frank Miller. This edition does still include the ten-page pinup gallery from previous editions, featuring art from Arthur Adams, Mike Allred, Sergio Aragonés, Paul Chadwick, Joe Kubert, Mike Mignola, John Romita, Jim Silke, Walter Simonson, and Sergio Toppi. Also included is a slightly expanded eight-page cover gallery featuring art from previous editions. As an added bonus, each volume’s slipcase has a different letter from the logo, placed on the front cover in such a way that alone it looks like a splash of red wrapping around the slipcase. But when all seven volumes are together it is clear that the grouping spells out “Sin City.” Discerning fans and new readers can experience this unparalleled and action-packed noir masterpiece in the most exciting edition to date!

Renowned today for his contribution to the rise of the modern European fairy tale, Giovan Francesco Straparola (c. 1480–c. 1557) is particularly known for his dazzling anthology The Pleasant Nights. Originally published in Venice in 1550 and 1553, this collection features seventy-three folk stories, fables, jests, and pseudo-histories, including nine tales we might now designate for ‘mature readers’ and seventeen proto-fairy tales. Nearly all of these stories, including classics such as ‘Puss in Boots,’ made their first ever appearance in this collection; together, the tales comprise one of the most varied and engaging Renaissance miscellanies ever produced. Its appeal sustained it through twenty-six editions in the first sixty years. This full critical edition of The Pleasant Nights presents these stories in English for the first time in over a century. The text takes its inspiration from the celebrated Waters translation, which is entirely revised here to render it both more faithful to the original and more sparkishly idiomatic than ever before. The stories are accompanied by a rich sampling of illustrations, including originals from nineteenth-century English and French versions of the text. As a comprehensive critical and historical edition, these volumes contain far more information on the stories than can be found in any existing studies, literary histories, or Italian editions of the work. Donald Beecher provides a lengthy introduction discussing Straparola as an author, the nature of fairy tales and their passage through oral culture, and how this phenomenon provides a new reservoir of stories for literary adaptation. Moreover, the stories all feature extensive commentaries analysing not only their themes but also their fascinating provenances, drawing on thousands of analogue tales going back to ancient Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic stories. Immensely entertaining and readable, The Pleasant Nights will appeal to anyone interested in fairy tales, ancient stories, and folk creations. Such readers will also enjoy Beecher’s academically solid and erudite commentaries, which unfold in a manner as light and amusing as the stories themselves.
