Torme di zombi affamatissimi invadono le strade di Pittsburgh, seminando morte e distruzione. Nessuno sa da dove vengano o quale misterioso virus abbia trasformato in quel modo dei normalissimi cittadini. Solo un manipolo di valorosi riesce a barricarsi e ad approntare una difesa, alla ricerca di una soluzione alla tragedia e di una cura per i contagiati... Come dite? Vi sembra una storia già sentita? Non è così: infatti la casa editrice americana Sitcomics rivisita con toni innovativi e dissacranti e con il ritmo narrativo tipico della sitcom televisiva uno dei miti tradizionali della letteratura fantastica, quello degli zombi, riproponendoli con umorismo e toni estremi. Testi dell'autore di sitcom Darin Henry, (sempre lui, quello di Super 'Suckers e della saga della Heroes Union), disegni dell'artista di Mad Tom Richmond.

Tensions flare in Northwest Asia and Op-Center races to prevent World War III in this chilling, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller from the authors of theUSA Today bestseller Out of the Ashes.

When a team of assassins murder a high-ranking North Korean general and his family in their sleep, making it look like a robbery, events are set in motion that could shake the balance of world powers. Meanwhile, a U.S. naval combat ship, the USSMilwaukee, is attacked by North Korean forces in the middle of a training exercise off the shore of South Korea, and Commander Kate Bigelow is forced to ground the ship to avoid being captured. The crew takes refuge on a tiny island, trapped dangerously between the grounded ship and a fleet of hostile North Korean soldiers.

Op-Center intelligence discovers a secret alliance behind the attack--a pact between China and North Korea that guarantees China total control of a vast oil reserve found beneath the Yellow Sea. As both sides marshal their forces for a major confrontation at sea, Chase Williams and his Op-Center organization devise a plan to secretly spirit the American crew from the island and out from under North Korean control. But the North Koreans are not finished. In a desperate gamble, they unleash a terrorist cell on the American homeland. Only Op-Center can uncover their plan and stop it in time to prevent a major catastrophe that could lead to all-out war.

Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Museo del Prado, this book focuses on a crucial but hitherto neglected part of Raphael’s oeuvre: the work he and his pupils executed in Rome during the seven years from 1513 to the artist’s death in 1520.

Nearly ninety works—including paintings such as Saint Cecile and Portrait of Baldassere Castiglione, as well as drawings and a tapestry—illustrate the ways in which Raphael employed a range of technical devices, many of which were highly novel and enjoyed considerable influence. Raphael’s workshop methods eventually became a model for the great artistic enterprises of the seventeenth century, notably those of Rubens, Bernini, and Pietro da Cortona.

Essays by Tom Henry, Paul Joannides, Ana González Mozo, and Bruno Martín survey Raphael’s late paintings in chronological order, explore his range of styles, and investigate the role of his workshop in the design and production of his pictures.

Definitive in its scholarship and thrilling in its scope, this lavishly illustrated volume offers the first book-length study of Luca Signorelli (1450–1523), sometimes described as the 'least-known major artist' of the Renaissance. Twenty years of painstaking archival research have produced this portrait of Signorelli in public and private life—an adventurous painter who believed art was divinely inspired, and an affectionate family man who participated energetically in public life. In his paintings—of which the Last Judgement in Orvieto cathedral is his undisputed masterpiece—Signorelli integrated his observations of daily life with a fresh and sensitive approach to representing religious subjects.

A student of Piero della Francesca, Signorelli was influential into the early 16th century, though he was ultimately eclipsed by his friends Raphael and Michelangelo. Signorelli's work is represented in museums around the world, and this book now offers new audiences and scholars a complete picture of one of the Renaissance's most significant and intriguing artists.

A beautifully illustrated cook book from Channel 4's Fabulous Baker Brothers.

Based upon the show business aspirations and successes of R&B acts such as the Supremes, James Brown and others, Dreamgirls follows the story of a young female singing trio from Chicago called 'The Dreams.' The production first hit Broadway in 1981, and was adapted for the screen in 2006, and then returned to the stage in 2009. Our songbook features selections from this most recent revival, including two NEW songs, never before published: 'What Love Can Do' and 'Listen,' plus: And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going * Dreamgirls * Hard to Say Goodbye, My Love * I Am Changing * One Night Only * When I First Saw You (You Are My Dream) * and more. The book contains snazzy revival artwork, and all songs are in standard piano/vocal format with the melody in the piano part.

The cause of Christ suffers greatly today through what has rightly been termed a 'dissected cross, a decapitated gospel. 'Perhaps unconsciously we have settled down to an ordinary and defeated Christian life, a customary unholiness.

For L.E. Maxwell. the cross was everything. He wrote Born Crucified to 'attempt in a small way to set forth, not as an exposition or theological statement, but in simple sermon and exhortation, the role of the Cross in the life of the believer.' In doing so, Maxwell made clear the way to victory over sin and empowered service to God.

Maxwell's words come as strange comfort to our souls: 'God's way of victory over sin is not through the suppression of sinful desires, nor through the eradication of the old nature, nor yet through the cleansing of inbred sin. God's way of victory is through crucifixion---deliverance is only through death.'

14 vocal selections from the Tony Award-winning musical, including: And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going * Cadillac Car * Family * Hard to Say Goodbye, My Love * I Am Changing * One Night Only * When I First Saw You * and more.

A foundling of mysterious parentage brought up by Mr. Allworthy on his country estate, Tom Jones is deeply in love with the seemingly unattainable Sophia Western, the beautiful daughter of the neighbouring squire - though he sometimes succumbs to the charms of the local girls. But when his amorous escapades earn the disapproval of his benefactor, Tom is banished to make his own fortune. Sophia, meanwhile, is determined to avoid an arranged marriage to Allworthy's scheming nephew and escapes from her rambunctious father to follow Tom to London. A vivid Hogarthian panorama of eighteenth-century life, spiced with danger and intrigue, bawdy exuberance and good-natured authorial interjections, Tom Jones (1749) is one of the greatest and most ambitious comic novels in English literature.
In his introduction to this new Penguin Classics edition, Thomas Keymer discusses narrative techniques and themes, the context of eighteenth-century fiction and satire, and the historical and political background of the Jacobite Rebellion. This volume also includes a chronology, further reading, notes, a glossary and an appendix on Fielding's revisions.

From Elmore Leonard, the author who has influenced more writers than anyother, come two thrilling stories of law in the Old West, upheld by the barrel of a six-gun.

'Three-ten to Yuma:' Deputy Paul Scallen will earn his one hundred fifty dollars if he can get his prisoner Jim Kidd on the train to Yuma Prison. But the members of Kidd's gang have determined that Scallen won't live long enough to make the Three-Ten to Yuma.

'Saint with a Six-Gun:' Bobby Valdez will hang in the morning and young Lyall Quinlan is proud to guard him through the night. But Valdez doesn't seem like a cold-blooded killer and his request for last rites may just set him free ... or get them both killed.

Performed by Henry Rollins, these classics of bullets and bad men demonstrate the superb talent for language and gripping narrative that made Elmore Leonard one of the most acclaimed writers of our time.
