        Comic empires

        Imperialism in cartoons, caricature and satirical art

        by Andrekos Varnava, Richard Scully, Alan Lester

        Comic empires is a unique collection of new research exploring the relationship between imperialism and political cartoons, caricature, and satirical art. Edited by leading scholars across both fields (and with contributions from contexts as diverse as Egypt, Australia, the United States, and China, as well as Europe) the volume provides new perspectives on well-known events, and illuminates little-known players in the 'great game' of empire in modern times. Some of the finest comic art of the period is deployed as evidence, and examined seriously, in its own right, for the first time. Accessible to students of history at all levels, Comic empires is a major addition to the world-leading 'Studies in Imperialism' series, as well as standing alone as an innovative and significant contribution to the ever-growing international field of comics studies.

        Sweet Rosa

        by Kingsley Osei, David Asimeng

        Sweet Rosa is a picture book which details the brave stance of a young African-American woman named Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat to a white person on bus in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama. Ms. Parks' actions led to the infamous Montgomery bus boycott and helped establish the civil rights movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  The bold and courageous act of Ms. Parks, Dr. King and thousands of boycotters and civil rights advocates eventually pushed the Supreme Court to declare segregation on buses unconstitutional, helping to put racial discrimination to rest. This book takes young readers on an historic, illustrious journey through this staple event and how it has forever shaped the racial outlook of equality for adults and children alike in today's society.

        Me vs Big Slacker Baby vol. 1

        by Annisa Nisfihani

        Me VS Big Slacker Baby (BSB) tells a story about Arin, a high school girl with obsessive compulsive toward cleanliness, who encounters Alvan, her schoolmate who stays at a boarding house owned by her parents.   Alvan’s behavior is the polar opposite of Arin, in which, although he is a very bright student but he is also one of the laziest and messy guys Arin has ever known. This establishes an interesting and hilarious conflict between them, where Alvan learns from Arin in becoming a tidier person, while Arin also learns from Alvan in improving her mark in school assignments and exams.   This romantic-comedy masterpiece is written and illustrated by Annisa Nisfihani, a young and talented comic artist from Tenggarong, East Borneo. Even though her hometown is quite far from the big cities and blackouts also occurred quite often, Annisa’s perseverance in pursuing her dreams ultimately paid off as BSB got its second reprint within less than a month of its initial publication.

        Galauman vol. 1

        by Ockto Baringbing & Ino Septian

        Galauman is an action-comedy comic that tells the mishaps of Gabriel Laurent, a single guy who (always) tries too hard to get the love of his life, yet always fails miserably.   The thing is, every time his love is rejected, he would turn into a superhero named Galauman to save the day. And to make things worse, Gabriel can only transform into Galauman if his love confession is rejected by a girl.
