Ladislava Vojtková Book order (chronological)

Shadow hat es bisher nicht leicht gehabt im Leben. Kaum hat er seine unverdiente Haftstrafe abgesessen und will gerade zu seiner geliebten Frau Laura zurückkehren, erfährt er, dass sie einen tödlichen Unfall hatte – und das wird nicht der letzte Schicksalsschlag für Shadow gewesen sein. Darum hält ihn nichts davon ab, auf das Jobangebot des jovialen Mr. Wednesday einzugehen und dessen Leibwächter zu werden. Über Mr. Wednesdays Motive wird Shadow im Dunkeln gelassen, und die Personen, die er auf seinen Reisen quer durch die USA besucht, sind ebenso undurchschaubar. Der trink- und rauffreudige Mad Sweeney, das Bestatterduo Mr. Ibis und Mr. Jaquel und der grimmige Tschernobog sind noch die angenehmeren Bekanntschaften – andere Begegnungen wie die mit einem hochnäsigen Typen, der sich selbst den Technischen Jungen nennt, verlaufen deutlich bedrohlicher. Zur gleichen Zeit häufen sich in Shadows Umfeld merkwürdige Ereignisse, und es dauert nicht lang, bis Shadow mittendrin ist in einem uralten Konflikt von wahrhaft göttlichem Ausmaß. »American Gods«, der Urban-Fantasy-Bestseller von Neil Gaiman (»Coraline«, »The Sandman «), feierte vor Kurzem seine Premiere als Serie auf Amazon Prime – und jetzt ist er auch in Comicform erhältlich!

Explore a new reality -- obscured by smoke and darkness, yet brilliantly tangible -- in this extraordinary collection of short works by a master prestidigitator. It will dazzle your senses, touch your heart, and haunt your dreams.

When Coraline steps through a door in her family's new house, she finds another house, strangely similar to her own (only better). At first, things seem marvelous. The food is better than at home, and the toy box is filled with fluttering wind-up angels and dinosaur skulls that crawl and rattle their teeth. But there's another mother there and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and all the tools she can find if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life. This beloved tale has now become a visual feast. Acclaimed artist P. Craig Russell brings Neil Gaiman's enchanting nationally bestselling children's book Coraline to new life in this gorgeously illustrated graphic novel adaptation.
