Gary Gianni Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Zu den immer wieder zitierten Meisterwerken von Jules Verne gehört der große Roman über das Riesen-U-Boot Nautilus und die Geschichte von Kapitän Nemo, dem grausamen und geheimnisvollen Rächer, der darin mit einer kleinen Schar Getreuer die Weltmeere befährt. Jules Verne hatte gerade auf einem Kabelleger den Atlantik überquert, als er dieses Buch schrieb. Beispielhaft mischt er darin eine spannende Romanhandlung, wissenswerte Informationen über Ozeanographie, Meeresfauna und -flora mit phantastischen Abenteuern wie dem Kampf mit Riesenkraken, dem Unterqueren der Meerenge von Sues oder der Entdeckung des untergegangenen Atlantis. Hinzu kommt die geniale technische Vision hinsichtlich des Funktionierens eines Unterwasserschiffes, das zudem ungeheuer luxuriös ausgestattet ist. Und schließlich die Schicksalsgeschichte von Kapitän Nemo selbst, eines Menschen rätselhafter Herkunft, eines gebildeten und kultivierten Wissenschaftlers und Ingenieurs, der gleichwohl am Schluß den Untergang eines Kriegsschiffes, das die Nautilus absichtlich gerammt hatte, mit Genuß von seinem Salonfenster aus beobachtet.

Hellboy sets sail from the wreckage of a deserted island only to cross paths with a ghost ship. Taken captive by the phantom crew that plans to sell him to the circus, Hellboy is dragged along by a captain who will stop at nothing in pursuit of a powerful sea creature. Following the events of Hellboy: The Island, Gary Gianni draws Hellboy in an original graphic novel. The master of modern horror comics.-IGN ... Mignola's simple but elegant panel design should be studied by everyone who is or who wants to be a cartoonist. The script is a delight, too, as Hellboy's down-to-earth anger and everyman astonishment remains funny and refreshing. -Publishers Weekly

A century before A GAME OF THRONES, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros... A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true identity must be hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, and featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time, this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry.
