Osamu Tezuka's vaunted storytelling genius, consummate skill at visual expression, and warm humanity blossom fully in his eight-volume epic of Siddhartha's life and times. Tezuka evidences his profound grasp of the subject by contextualizing the Buddha's ideas; the emphasis is on movement, action, emotion, and conflict as the prince Siddhartha runs away from home, travels across India, and questions Hindu practices such as ascetic self-mutilation and caste oppression. Rather than recommend resignation and impassivity, Tezuka's Buddha predicates enlightenment upon recognizing the interconnectedness of life, having compassion for the suffering, and ordering one's life sensibly. Philosophical segments are threaded into interpersonal situations with ground-breaking visual dynamism by an artist who makes sure never to lose his readers' attention.Tezuka himself was a humanist rather than a Buddhist, and his magnum opus is not an attempt at propaganda. Hermann Hesse's novel or Bertolucci's film is comparable in this regard; in fact, Tezuka's approach is slightly irreverent in that it incorporates something that Western commentators often eschew, namely, humor.

Leonardo DiCaprio har datet 117 bikinimodeller, men uden at forelske sig. Hvorfor? Er det på grund af forbrugersamfundet? Narcissisme? Biologi? Eller har han bare ikke mødt den rigtige? Og: bliver vi ikke allesammen mere og mere som Leo? I ’Den er der ikke’ undersøger Liv Strömquist hvordan det går med kærligheden i senkapitalismens æra. Ved hjælp af Beyoncé, Søren Kierkegaard, og moderne sociologiteori diagnosticerer og analyserer Strömquist satirisk hvordan synet på kærligheden og forskellen mellem kønnene har forandret sig gennem tiden. Pressen skrev om Kundskabens frugt: "... man griner, mens man bliver klogere, indigneret og får lyst til at tage denne del af kvindekroppen tilbage. Nu. Og ikke mindst at give bogen her til alle kvinder mellem 12 og 92." ****** - Elle"... en fantastisk sjov og aldeles forbløffende historisk gennemgang af menneskets forhold til ... 'det kvindelige kønsorgan'." ***** - Femina"Byder på ikke så få øjenåbnere ... morsom og skønt sarkastisk-pædagogisk pragt præsentation." ***** - Politiken

”Mange sider i denne her bog skildrer ting, der engang føltes som mine inderste, mørkeste hemmeligheder – indtil jeg bragte dem frem i lyset og indså, at de bare var forskellige aspekter af det at være menneske.” – Maia KobabeMaia Kobabes prisvindende selvbiografi startede som en måde at forklare for sin familie, hvad det betyder at være ikke-binær og aseksuel. Men Gender queer er mere end en personlig fortælling. Det er en nyttig og rørende guide til kønsidentitet: Hvad betyder det overhovedet? Hvordan forstår man de mange forvirrende følelser og oplevelser? Og hvor finder man svarene på de spørgsmål, man ikke tør sige højt?Bogen er aktuel læsning for alle, der ønsker at få en dybere forståelse af køn og identitet. Den er en af de mest bandlyste bøger i USA, hvor den tre år i træk har været øverst på listen over bøger, som flest klager over og anmoder om at få fjernet fra skoler og biblioteker.”Jeg kan forestille mig, hvordan mit niårige jeg ville have siddet og læst hver eneste side og bagefter indset: Jeg er ikke ødelagt. Jeg er ikke forkert. Jeg er ikke alene.” – ND Stevenson i forordet til Gender queerOm Maia KobabeMaia Kobabe kommer fra San Francisco Bay-området og bruger e/em/eir pronominer. Gender queer er Kobabes graphic novel-debut, og den blev udnævnt til en Stonewall Honor Book – den første pris for LGBTQIA+ bøger i USA. Kobabe har derudover fået sine striber udgivet i The New Yorker, The Washington Post og The Nib.

Alt sammen tophemmeligt, hvilket fostrede talrige hemmelige agenter, spionnetværk, forræderiske militærfolk og grådige flyfabrikanter.Som nyuddannede kamppiloter indtræder Tanguy og Laverdure i aktiv tjeneste i KAMPEN OM PROTOTYPEN, og efter en række tumultariske optagelsesritualer hos deres nye kolleger i det franske luftvåben kastes de ud i en livsfarlig mission for at forhindre en skummel magt i et skaffe sig adgang til revolutionerende ny teknologi – og med risiko for at forårsage en enorm katastrofe må Tanguy forfølge et fly med en fjendtlig pilot i lav højde langs Seinen gennem Paris.I STORKEESKADRILLEN skal to piloter fra Royal Australian Air Force teste de franske Mirage-fly, men de viser sig ikke at være dem, de udgiver sig for – og for at nå deres egentlige mål sætter de både Tanguys far og Laverdure ud af spillet på brutal vis.I SABOTAGE I MELLEMØSTEN skyr en flyfabrikant sammen med en nådesløs og hævngerrig pilot fra Anden Verdenskrig ingen midler for at forhindre Israel i at købe Mirage-fly, hvilket bringer både franskmænd og israelere i overhængende livsfare.Luftens Ørne blev skabt i 1959 af den senere Blueberry-forfatter Jean-Michel Charlier (1924-1989) og Asterix-tegneren Albert Uderzo (1927-2020). Charlier skrev de første 18 album, mens Uderzo efter de første 8 overdrog tegnearbejdet til sin kollega Jijé.Den klassiske serie har i 1970’erne og 80’erne været udgivet på dansk, men ukronologisk og ukomplet, ligesom visse sider var skåret ud af historierne. Med Cobolts Luftens Ørne samlebind bliver den nu for første gang tilgængelig på dansk i kronologisk orden. Ud over selve tegneserierne indeholder samlebindene et rigt illustreret ekstramateriale om forfatternes og tegnernes arbejde og samtidens virkelige luftvåben. Samlebindene er trykt på lækkert, mat papir, solidt indbundet og udkommer hvert halve år.
