Kate Bush started her career at the top, the spellbinding 'Wuthering Heights' giving her a number one hit single with her first release. Yet from there, artistically at least, the only way has been up. For while the sales of both singles and albums over the five decades since have had their peaks and troughs, every new release has seen Bush refuse to be boxed in by past success but instead continue to take the musical chances that have characterised her career from day one. Across ten studio albums, including director's cut reassessments of two of them, and a live record of the 2014 Hammersmith Apollo residency, Kate Bush has constantly sought new ground, reinventing her sound time and again. She has often strayed from the commercial path of least resistance to examine the less travelled musical byways that have provided the inspiration for an extraordinary body of work, quite unlike anyone else's. With a string of platinum albums and hit singles to her credit, Kate's is a fascinating journey. This book examines her entire recorded catalogue from The Kick Inside through to Before The Dawn, hoovering up all the B-sides and the rarities along the way. It's a comprehensive guide to the extraordinary music of Kate Bush.

"Alfredo Alcala is one of the most disciplined and perceptive artists inking in comics. The years of distinguished work have earned Alfredo a special place in comics history." — Gil Kane. In the late 1960s, an extremely talented group of Filipino illustrators took the American comic book industry by storm — and the late Alfredo Alcala led the way, working for both Marvel and DC on such popular characters as Conan the Barbarian and Batman. This unique work is loaded with amazing art and pointers on observational methods, composition, and other techniques. In addition to insightful interviews with Alcala, the book features pages from his groundbreaking masterwork, Voltar, which was hailed as a new concept in comic book form, an epic in narrative art, and a milestone in sequential art illustration. Students, professionals, teachers, and fans will treasure this inspiring volume and its insider's look at comic book artistry. "A wonderful look at the thought process of one of the best artist/inkers in comic book history and should be read, not just by comic book fans, but by anyone who appreciates great art." — Rushford Public Library

Dieser Sammelband enthält die Ausgaben 45-60 der „Savage Sword of Conan“ sowie reichlich Bonusmaterial. Die Comics fangen die Essenz von Conan ein, einer archetypischen Figur der Sword & Sorcery-Fantasy, die Robert E. Howard in den 1930ern für Pulp-Magazine erschuf. Die Geschichten von Roy Thomas, John Buscema und anderen Meistern zeigen, welche grafischen Werke in den 1970ern und 1980ern im Haus der Ideen entstanden. Die Comic-Interpretationen trugen dazu bei, dass der cimmerische Krieger und Glücksritter zu neuen Höhen aufstieg, lange bevor der erste Conan-Film mit Arnold Schwarzenegger den Barbaren unsterblich machte. Die Marvel-Macher konnten Howards kraftvolle Erzählungen umsetzen, eigene Geschichten entwickeln oder auf spätere Romane zurückgreifen.

Howards Fantasy-Ikone zu erzählen. Die schwarz-weißen Magazine ermöglichten es, die Wildheit des Barbaren aus Cimmeria ohne die Einschränkungen der damaligen Selbstzensur zu entfalten. In diesen Geschichten adaptierten Thomas und Co. Howards Erzählungen und verwandelten historische Abenteuer in aufregende Conan-Storys. Der Barbar kämpft gegen Magier, Bösewichte und Bestien, während er sich durch Gefahren wie Magie und Stürme schlägt. Gier, Gewalt, Grausamkeit und Schönheit prägen seinen Weg durch das Hyborische Zeitalter.

Howards legendären Fantasy-Helden und behandelt Conans Jahre und Abenteuer als König von Aquilonia – jetzt mit restaurierter Kolorierung! Dieser Sammelband umfasst die Ausgaben 1-19 von KING CONAN sowie umfangreiches Bonusmaterial. Conan wurde in den 1970ern bei Marvel zur Comic-Legende, und 1980 startete die Serie KING CONAN, die sich auf einen älteren Conan konzentriert, der als König auf dem Thron sitzt. Bereits in Howards erster Erzählung wurde Conan als erfahrener Krieger und König dargestellt, der sich Verschwörern stellen muss. In diesen Comics entwickelten die Autoren Roy Thomas und Doug Moench eigene Geschichten oder adaptierten Werke von Howards Nachfolgern. Conan hat mit Zenobia eine Königin und mit Conn einen Sohn, bleibt jedoch der ungezähmte Krieger, der sich jeder Bedrohung, einschließlich dem finsteren Zauberer Thoth-Amon, stellt. Künstlerisch ist dieser Band ein Treffen von Generationen: John Buscema, der die ersten beiden Conan-Titel prägte, und der aufstrebende Marc Silvestri, der in den späten 1980ern zum Superstar wurde. Der Sammelband enthält außerdem ein Vorwort von Roy Thomas sowie Artikel, Werbematerial und schwarz-weiße Originalseiten.

Howard schuf mit Conan eine der bekanntesten Figuren der Fantasy, die ab 1970 als Marvel-Comic-Held in der bunten Heftserie Conan the Barbarian und ab 1974 in der schwarz-weißen Magazinreihe Savage Sword of Conan lebendig wurde. Im Magazinformat konnten Autoren und Künstler ohne die Einschränkungen des Comics Code arbeiten, was ihnen kreative Freiheiten bot. In diesem Band debütiert Michael Fleisher, während Veteranen wie Roy Thomas und John Buscema ihre Fähigkeiten zeigen. Conan kämpft gegen einen grausamen Sultan, stellt sich Monstern und klärt einen Mord an Bord eines Schiffes auf. Zudem wird eine Fortsetzung von Howards Erzählung „Der Teich der Riesen“ präsentiert, in der Conan den Schrecken der Tiefsee begegnet. Weitere Geschichten umfassen den Jungen Gebel-Han auf der Suche nach seinen Träumen und die Abenteuer von Chane, einem barbarischen Helden. Als Bonusmaterial sind beeindruckendes Original-Artwork und Einblicke von Comic-Legenden enthalten, sowie Roger Sterns Ausblick auf den ersten monumentalen Conan-Film mit Arnold Schwarzenegger.
