Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) is regarded as one of the true masters of ukiyo-e, the populist art of Edo-period Japan. Kuniyoshi produced thousands of prints and designs during his lifetime, but is perhaps best-known for his musha-e ("warrior prints"), which propelled him to prominence around 1827-1830. Kuniyoshi's series 108 Heroes Of The Suikoden was revolutionary in its dynamics, colour and visual violence, establishing the delirious, almost proto-psychedelic style with which the artist would recreate archetypal heroes, outlaws and renegades from Japanese history and legend over the ensuing decades.OUTLAW DEATH SWORDS collects the entire 74-picture 108 Heroes series, plus Kuniyoshi's equally vivid and complex 30-picture 800 Heroes Of Our Country's Suikoden (Honchô Suikoden gôyû happyaku-nin no hitori, 1830-1836); taken together, the 104 portrait images of warriors, heroes and anti-heroes in OUTLAW DEATH SWORDS comprise a stunning selection of the art and imagination of an unsurpassed 19th century master as applied to the dazzling, hyper-kinetic and often violent genre in which he remains unsurpassed.

Here is a story that has lain dormant for seven hundred years. At first it was suppressed by one of the Plantagenet kings of England. Later it was forgotten. I happened to dig it up by accident. The accident being the relationship of my wife's cousin to a certain Father Superior in a very ancient monastery in Europe. He let me pry about among a quantity of mildewed and musty manuscripts and I came across this. It is very interesting -- partially since it is a bit of hitherto unrecorded history, but principally from the fact that it records the story of a most remarkable revenge and the adventurous life of its innocent victim -- Richard, the lost prince of England. In the retelling of it I have left out most of the history. What interested me was the unique character about whom the tale revolves -- the visored horseman who -- but let us wait until we get to him. It all happened in the thirteenth century, and while it was happening it shook England from north to south and from east to west; and reached across the channel and shook France...

The first in a series about the youthful adventures Florin, Islif, and Jhessail—the much-loved Knights of Myth Drannor—as they battle to win and defend their honor Florin Falconhand has always yearned for adventure, so when he saves the life of a Cormyrean king, it is a dream come true. But with adventure comes great danger, and unfortunately for Florin, his heroics earn him the enmity of some of Cormyr’s most dangerous denizens. If he and his friends are to survive the adventures that await them, they must learn what it means to be true to themselves, to each other, and to the Crown. In Florin's picturesque village of Eveningstar, nestled at the foot of the Stonelands, the Knights of Myth Drannor rise up. Now, for the first time, here is their story: the battles and adventures, the love and death, that brought together the band of the greatest adventurers the realms have ever seen. Their tales are among the grandest in all of Faerûn: how a diverse, rowdy group of men and women were forged into an arm of steel that smote monsters and stood guard while others slept.

Find out what happens when Lucifer's Sword Motorcycle Club goes head to head with a badass rival club in this graphic novel from a lifelong motorcycle club member. Meet Lucifer's Sword Motorcycle Club, a group of hard-riding, hard-living bikers just trying to ride their bikes in the swinging 1960s without being hassled by the man. Turns out the man is the least of their problems. While pursuing mostly harmless fun, the group runs afoul of Satanas Hermanos, a rival club from the other side of town. Before they know what hit them, the members of Lucifer's Sword find themselves embroiled in a bloody club war. As the war becomes increasingly deadly, the club finds that it's going head to head with forces much more powerful than just a rival motorcycle club. Author Phil Cross, working with illustrator Ronn Sutton and co-author Darwin Holmstrom, draws on real-life experience as a nearly 50-year member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club to bring gritty realism to this fictional story. Says Cross, "In the world of motorcycle clubs, there are some stories so raw, so gritty, so real that they can only be told as stories. This is one of them."
