An evocative, elegiac love letter to New York City and the immigrant culture that continues to make it the most original and influential city in the world.As the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth, a surge of Jewish immigrants to New York City reshaped indelibly not only the culture of the metropolis but of America itself. Struggling to assimilate to a new world while reconciling it to the old one they had left behind, these men and women shared their most private hopes and fears in a series of letters submitted to "A Bintel Brief"?Yiddish for "A Bundle of Letters"?the enormously popular, deeply affecting and often hilarious advice column of the newspaper The Forward.Conceived by Abraham Cahan, editor of The Forward, who answered every letter himself, A Bintel Brief transformed the fortunes of the paper, rapidly making it the most widely read Yiddish-language newspaper in the world. The letters that flooded into A Bintel Brief spoke with unparalleled immediacy to the daily heartbreaks and comedies of their bewildered writers' new lives, capturing the hope, isolation and confusion of assimilation, from intergenerational family politics and judgmental neighbors to crises of faith, unrequited love, runaway husbands, soul-crushing poverty and the difficulty of building an entirely new life from scratch.Drawn from these letters?selected and adapted by Liana Finck and brought to life in her singularly expressive illustrations that combine Art Spiegelman's deft emotionality and the magical spirit of Marc Chagall?A Bintel Brief is a wonderful panorama of a world and its people who, though long gone, are startlingly like ourselves. It is also a platonic love story of sorts between Abraham Cahan and Liana, as they engage in a bittersweet dialogue that explores the pleasures and perils of nostalgia, even as it affirms the necessary forward movement of life.

Kobane Calling er en 'graphic novel' om virkelige begivenheder fra forfatteren Zerocalcares to rejser til grænsen mellem Tyrkiet og Syrien (og til Irak). Det er også en virkeligt god litterær fortælling. Fortællestilen er typisk for Zerocalcare. Alle hans tidligere værker blander elementer fra forfatterens liv ind i komplicerede fiktive fortællinger. De har en vekslen imellem en intim adgang til den litterære udgave af Zerocalcares tanker og følelser og en række kunstneriske greb, der holder læseren på en vis afstand fra den virkelige forfatter. Man møder Zerocalcares venner, hans elskede Rebibbia (et kvarter i Rom, som han ikke frivilligt forlader) og hans forældre. Forældrene er konsekvent i alle hans værker tegnet som hønen Lady Kluk fra Disneys Robin Hood og Hr. Ping – den kiksede, men entusiastiske nudelsælgende gås fra Kung Fu Panda. En handlekraftig, beskyttende og stædig mor, en far som Zerocalcare (ligesom Kung Fu Panda) ikke ønsker at efterligne. Dog adskiller Kobane Calling sig fra hans andre værker: Det er ikke en fiktiv fortælling. Den gør opmærksom på, hvad der er virkelighed, og hvad der er hans kunstneriske bearbejdning af virkeligheden, og den argumenterer løbende for, hvorfor den er skrevet, som den er skrevet. Det er lykkedes Zerocalcare at gøre en hårrejsende fortælling om livet i et samfund i krig, om et samfund som folk kæmper og dør for at opbygge og bevare, til en bog, hvor man i løbet af ganske få sider både kan nå at grine og græde.

»Der er kun dig. Du er nr. 1. Du er det eneste menneske på jorden. Der er kun dig, dit åndedræt og din krop. Alt andet eksisterer ikke.« (citat fra bog)Joakim har et værelse fyldt med medaljer og en dejlig kæreste. Men da han tager imod hr. Bens visitkort og indvilliger i at løbe for hr. Wilson vender det op og ned på hans tilværelse. Han udfordres på talent og moral og må træffe nogle afgørende valg. Valg, der kan have uoverskuelige konsekvenser. Hr. Wilson vil have Joakim med i det store løb, vil have ham i finalen mod Jennifer Last - en pige! Men ikke en hvilken som helst pige. Jennifer er en robot - en overlevende fra Den Store Krig.Den uægte er en grafisk roman om løb, om lidenskab og ambitioner, om kærlighed og bedrag, om at følge sine drømme og erkendelsen af, at alt måske ikke er, som det umiddelbart giver sig ud for at være.Pressen skriver:»Totalt uforudsigelig og skingrende uhyggelig. Den uægte er super som grafisk roman.« *****- Birte Strandby, Bogvægten.dk»... slugt blev den! Den uægte er spændende hele vejen igennem - og den overrasker! [...] Super fed grafisk roman! Kan kun anbefales!«8/10 - Bookeater.dk»Jeg var bestemt underholdt og der er mange gode ting at sige om værket […] Kombinationen af Wung-Sungs go’e pen, og Palles dystre mørke streg, er ret vellykket. Det er, til målgruppen en ret god grafisk roman.«**** - Berti Stravonsky, Serieland»Tempofyldt grafisk roman om løb, store ambitioner, kærlighed og bedrag […] Spændende og underholdende fortælling, der også formår at sætte fokus på interessante etiske dilemmaer i et konkurrencepræget samfund, hvor robotter truer menneskeheden.«- Cæcilie Hjorth Pedersen, Lektør»Det er en grafisk roman til unge læsere, men voksne kan bestemt også blive taget ved næsen af denne her historie […] kombinationen af Schmidts illustrationer og Wung-Sungs ord gør, at man bliver draget ind i historien fra allerførste side. Alt i alt en virkelig interessant graphic novel, som er svær ikke at læse i ét stræk.«**** – Bogrummet.dk »Denne uophørligt spændende fortælling er en typisk Jesper Wung-Sung-story, med tema­er, som Jesper Wung-Sung er så dygtig til at iscenesætte. Den enkelte over for mængden eller fællesskabet. Det egentlige over for det uegentlige […] Palle Schmidts illustrationer er forrygende og understøtter fortællingen på fortræffelig vis […] Når man har læst den fremragende fortælling til ende, forstår man til fulde efternavnenes symbolik. Alone og Last. Hold da op for en læse- og sanseoplevelse!«- Eiler Jensen, Børn & Bøger»Det er en vildt spændende tegneserie, som jeg kun kan anbefale alle, som elsker science-fiction, et stort drama - og måske- løb.«- Bibliotekat»Den uægte er super som grafisk roman […] Også uhyggen har gode vilkår i sort/hvid, og illustrationerne skaber effektfuldt en dyster underlægning til den ultimative gru.«- Birte Strandby, Bogvægten  »Den uægte« er en solid og velkomponeret sci-fi til de unge læsere, som på mange måder leverer varen rigtigt godt. Den er spændende, jeg var med hele vejen, og den kan klart anbefales til læsere, der nyder en lille overraskende tegneserie med fremtidsuhygge og hurtigt tempo.«- Rikke Platz Cortsen, Litteraturmagasinet StandArtLæs et uddrag af bogen her.

VINDER AF PINGPRISEN - BEDSTE DEBUT! Troldmændene fra Vestmannaeyjar er en grafisk genfortælling af et islandsk folkesagn, der beretter om konfrontationen mellem et magisk univers, hvor død og dæmoner sætter dagsordenen, og et mere jordnært univers, hvor historiens kvindelige hovedperson henter sin styrke i den oprindelige urkraft. "fejende flot afleveret." - Dagbladet Information ★★★★★"Thomas Engelbrecht Mikkelsen har tegnet og genfortolket det islandske sagn »Troldmændene fra Vestmannaeyjar« og demonstrerer en meget personlig og sikker streg (der) blander myte og realisme, men i en kuldslået nordisk tone. Det er ren nydelse at se, hvordan Mikkelsen er i stand til at fremmane ulækre fjelddæmoner med ganske få streger." - Berlingske“en skæbnefortælling, der emmer af grafisk fortællelyst og en forkærlighed for det dystert magiske”- Kulturkapellet ★★★★- Strip!
