A fantastic Warhammer 40,000 novel from Black Library featuring the Astra Militarum.
The work of Frank Quitely and the role of comics art in contemporary Scottish culture, politics and society. Superhero Comics and Scottish Identity explores the life and career of Glasgow-born, Eisner Award-winning, and internationally acclaimed Marvel, DC, and Image Comics artist Frank Quitely. With a prolific career spanning more than three decades, Quitely played a pivotal role in the British superhero renaissance of the 1990s and 2000s and in the explosive emergence of the Scottish new wave of comics, a movement that included peers like Alan Grant, Mark Millar, and Grant Morrison, but has been underrepresented in both comics studies and Scottish studies. This work investigates questions of historical and contemporary expressions of Scottishness in transcultural comics genres such as superhero, science fiction, and fantasy. Framed through the lens of comics and literary genres, as well as their British and American editors, Quitely's approach to Scottishness is oblique and self-reflexive; his expressions of Scottishness are tensely bound to current nuanced examinations of Scottish national, literary and historical subjectivity. His work oscillates between two axiomatic antipodes: the regional, provincial, and local versus the transnational, cosmopolitan, and global. This comprehensive study also features an in-depth interview with Quitely, as well as unearthed archives, sketchbooks, notes, and donated or personal artworks not available elsewhere. This book will be made open access within three years of publication thanks to Path to Open, a program developed in partnership between JSTOR, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), University of Michigan Press, and The University of North Carolina Press to bring about equitable access and impact for the entire scholarly community, including authors, researchers, libraries, and university presses around the world.

In stark contrast, Kuno represents the human spirit's rebellion against the fetters of an overly mechanized life, yearning for the freedom to explore the forbidden surface of the Earth and the direct touch of human interaction."The Machine Stops" is not merely a story but a warning, a reflection on our relationship with technology and the enduring quest for meaningful connections in a mediated world.

The jungle's voice is given life through the memories of Gajraj, of battles fought, the deep bonds between creatures of the wild, and the profound connection between man and nature. The joy he and Harkat, the young one, revel in; take us on a wave of rejoicing, celebration and discovery. This evocative tale speaks to the power of memory, the resilience of nature, and the unbreakable ties that bind all living beings to the earth. "Gajraj - An Elephant Remembers" is a moving testament to the strength found in unity and the unyielding fight to preserve the natural world. The simplicity, wit and dryness of the Animal Farm, are worthy aims to try for. Where Mr. Orwell placed his Animal Farm in the characters of the Russian Revolution, Gajraj reminds us that it is our lackadaisical whimsy that turned the Sahara into a desert... and every tree demolished is putting us all at risk.
