”I nødens stund – De danske jøders farefulde flugt under Anden Verdenskrig” fortæller den sande historie om modstanden mod nazisterne i Danmark under Anden Verdenskrig, og de helte der reddede de danske jøder ved at hjælpe dem med at flygte til Sverige. I H.C. Andersens eventyr fortælles det, at hvis faren nogensinde kommer til Danmark, vil den mægtige kriger Holger Danske vågne op af sin århundreder lange dvale for at beskytte sit folk. Da nazisterne planlægger en razzia mod de danske jøder for at deportere dem til koncentrationslejre i 1943, er livet for den snart 9-årige Mette, hendes familie og andre danske jøder i alvorlig fare. Men den legendariske Holger Danske rejser sig i form af en modig, medfølende skolelærer, der er blevet modstandsleder, og de andre almindelige borgere som trodser nazisterne for Mette og andre jøder i nødens stund. Det er historien om, hvordan befolkningen i en besat nation – fra konge til fisker– satte deres liv på spil for at hjælpe deres jødiske landsmænd til Sverige i små fiskerbåde. ”I nødens stund – De danske jøders farefulde flugt under Anden Verdenskrig” er en hyldest til de helte, der reddede de danske jøder, og hvordan menneskeheden triumferer i de mørkeste timer.”Der er gået 80 år siden aktionen mod jøderne i Danmark, og vi står nu ved en skillevej, hvor det bliver endnu vigtigere at høre og bevare vidnesbyrdene og huske, hvad der skete. Ralph Shayne har forvandlet sin mors oplevelser til en velfortalt grafisk roman (hjulpet af Tatiana Goldbergs smukke kunstværk), der åbner historien op for et yngre publikum og hjælper os alle til at huske på en nuanceret måde.” - Signe Bergman Larsen Museumsinspektør, Dansk Jødisk Museum.

Scriveva Umberto Eco che "il fumetto è un prodotto industriale, commissionato dall'alto" e che "funziona secondo tutte le meccaniche della persuasione occulta", supponendo nel "fruitore un atteggiamento di evasione che stimola immediatamente le velleità paternalistiche dei committenti". Per noi il fumetto è esperienza dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza, moltiplicatore delle conoscenze e dei miti. Attraverso le pagine di Ferdinando Leonzio riscopriamo il fumetto italiano attraverso i suoi personaggi, autori, editori, albi, e collezionisti.

A gorgeous full-color graphic historical novel, sure to become an instant classic, that explores the friendship and feud between Ida B. Wells and Frederick Douglass, offering new insights into slavery and incarceration in the United States.Told from the perspectives of statesman and orator Frederick Douglass, and journalist and activist Ida B. Wells, Before 13th is a story that illuminates the contradictions of freedom. Friends and rivals, Douglass and Wells clashed over how to grapple with the racism and exoticism that defined portrayals of African Americans at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, where Douglass was invited to speak after they had initially agreed to boycott the event. It uses the story of this real-life conflict as a lens through which we see the history of slavery and incarceration as never before.Historical anthropologist Michael Ralph joins forces with acclaimed illustrator Laura Molnar to reimagine these two influential Black Americans and the controversies surrounding the Thirteenth Amendment—which some contend did not abolish slavery, claiming instead it was used to keep African Americans in a condition approximating bondage in the years immediately following Emancipation. Before 13th boldly takes on this issue, offering a provocative re-thinking that goes back years earlier than the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment, to a practice known as convict leasing, an experiment in capitalist innovation and progressive legal reform, whose profound effects continue to be felt today.Before 13th features100 four color illustrations.
