Кейт Битон — новинки

Wonder Woman! Hunks! Great men and women of history! Step aside – Kate Beaton is coming for you.
The author of the smash hit Hark! A Vagrant returns with all-new sidesplitting comics that showcase her irreverent love of history, pop culture and literature. Collected from her wildly popular website, readers will guffaw over 'Strong Female Characters', the wicked yet chivalrous Black Prince, 'Straw Feminists in the Closet' and a disgruntled Heathcliff. Delight in what the internet has long known - Beaton's humour is as sharp and dangerous as a velocipedestrienne, so watch out!

“An exceptionally beautiful book about loneliness, labor, and survival.“—Carmen Maria Machado

Before there was Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beatons, specifically Mabou, a tight-knit seaside community where the lobster is as abundant as beaches, fiddles, and Gaelic folk songs. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta’s oil rush—part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can’t find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed.

Beaton’s natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.

Представляем вам настоящую инди-антологию от Marvel! Да ещё и с самыми известными супергероями издательства? Причем за авторством культовых сценаристов и художников, практически не замеченных в мейнстримовых проектах? Всё это – о сборнике "Странные истории"! Ведь здесь собрались такие мастера как Джеймс Стоко, Рафаэль Грампа, Джиллиан Тамаки, Терри Мур и многие другие комиксисты, о которых мы привыкли слышать лишь в рамках альтернативы. Но бывают и исключения: в этой книге вы наконец сможете узнать, каким получатся истории про Росомаху, Дэдпула и других знаменитых персонажей, если за них возьмутся те, кто привык работать над авторскими работами. Странные? Возможно. Удивительные? Несомненно!

Небольшие комиксы, созданные канадской комиксисткой Кейт Битон, посвящены как реальным историческим личностям, так и вымышленным фигурам. Чудо-Женщина, Холмс и Ватсон, Нэнси Дрю, Эдгар По, Наполеон, сёстры Бронте и многие-многие другие персонажи книги так и норовят обменяться колкостями с собеседником да бросить остроту-другую относительно мировых событий. Стоит отметить, что многие анекдотичные ситуации из ""Чу! Бродяги"" происходили на самом деле, о чём Кейт указывает под некоторыми из стрипов — учитывая, что она имеет степень в области истории искусств, в её словах не приходится сомневаться.

The second hilarious title from The New York Times bestselling author of Hark! A Vagrant and The Princess and the Pony. The perfect gift for any family expecting a new baby, this is a laugh-out-loud take on the joy (and exhaustion!) of having a new lovable little tyrant. All hail King Baby! King Baby is gracious – bestowing smiles on his public, allowing tickles and hugs, and posing for photo after adorable photo. But this teeny tiny royal ruler also has many demands, and when his faithful subjects can’t quite keep up, King Baby must take matters into his own hands…

Fall in love with a teeny-tiny, roly-poly, cutie pie of a farting pony in this wickedly funny tale from Kate Beaton, the artist behind the comic phenomenon Hark! A Vagrant. Princess Pinecone knows exactly what she wants for her birthday this year. Not a cosy sweater like always, but a horse: a big horse, a strong horse, a horse fit for a Warrior Princess! But when the day arrives, Pinecone doesn't quite get the horse of her dreams... Brave Viking warriors and big surprises abound in this laugh-out-loud title.

A hilarious new collection of cartoons from the hugely popular online comic artist Kate Beaton, creator of www.harkavagrant.com

Ida B. Wells, the Black Prince, and Benito Juárez burst off the pages of Step Aside, Pops: A Hark! A Vagrant Collection, armed with modern-sounding quips and amusingly on-point repartee. Kate Beaton's second D+Q book brings her hysterically funny gaze to bear on these and even more historical, literary, and contemporary figures. Irreverently funny and carefully researched, no target is safe from Beaton's incisive wit in these satirical strips.
Beaton began her infectiously popular web comic, Hark! A Vagrant, in 2007 and it quickly attracted the adoration of hundreds of thousands of fans. It was an unequivocal hit with critics and fans alike, topping best-of-the-year lists from E!, Amazon, Time, and more. Now Beaton returns with a refined pen, ready to make jokes at the expense of hunks, army generals, scientists, and Canadians in equal measure. With a few carefully placed lines, she captures the over-the-top evil of the straw feminists in the closet, the disgruntled dismay of Heathcliff, and Wonder Woman's all-conquering ennui. Step Aside, Pops is sure to be the comedic hit of the year: sharp, insightful, and very funny.

Hark! A Vagrant is an uproarious romp through history and literature seen through the sharp, contemporary lens of New Yorker cartoonist and comics-sensation Kate Beaton. No era or tome emerges unscathed as Beaton rightly skewers the Western world's revolutionaries, leaders, sycophants, and suffragists while equally honing her wit on the hapless heroes, heroines, and villains of the best-loved fiction.

La princesse Prunelle n'a qu'un vœu pour son anniversaire cette année : qu'on lui offre un cheval. Un grand cheval musclé qui serait digne d'une princesse guerrière. Or, le jour venu, on ne lui offre pas exactement le cheval de ses rêves…
