A Treasury of XXth Century Murder:
THE LINDBERGH CHILD
America’s Hero and the Crime of the Century
Rick GEARY
Geary’s Treasury of Victorian Murder moves onto the XXth century with one of the most sensationalistic cases ever!
All was well for Charles Lindbergh, after his daring solo crossing of the Atlantic. Fame and fortune came quickly as well as marriage into wealthy family. But soon after they build themselves their dream home far from the madding crowd, tragedy strikes: their baby is abducted! Geary retraces all the different highly publicized events, blackmail notes, false and otherwise, as well as the string of colorful characters wanting to ‘help,’ some of which actually successfully snookered the beleaguered hero. A fascinating story, of course without a fully satisfactory conclusion, replete with savory details and unsavory people as only Geary can masterfully relate with his understated dark humor.

BLUESMAN
Rob VOLLMAR & Pablo CALLEJO
Now collected into one stunning hardcover!
This story, structured like a traditional twelve bar blues song, with three sections each made of four chapters, follows blues musician Lem Taylor’s harrowing journey across Arkansas of the late twenties, hunted for a crime he didn’t commit.
"An explosive and emotional climax. Bluesman mixes the mythic and dramatic with the nitty-gritty reality of the hard parts of life, just like a good blues song does." -Publishers Weekly
"Callejo's woodcut-like style portrays the magic realist climax and documentary coda particularly brilliantly. Consider Bluesman a worthy shelf mate for such other historical graphic novels as James Vance and Dan Burr's Kings in Disguise and Kim Deitch's Boulevard of Broken Dreams." -Booklist
6x9, 224pp., B&W jacketed hardcover, $24.95, ISBN 978-1-56163-532-0
