ABLAZE is shining the spotlight on the wide variety of genres and fantastic works within our catalogue! Our second Spotlight on Euro-Comics includes three comic titles - The Library Mule of Cordoba, Rompepistas, and The King of the Moths - bundled together under a specially discounted price. In The Library Mule of Cordoba: The Caliphate of Al-Andalus, after a great period of peace and learning, faces a power struggle after the death of the Caliph al-Hakam II. In exchange for the support of radical clergymen, the vizier Amir seeks to burn the books of Cordoba's famed library to ash. The night before the biggest bonfire ever, the head librarian, a chubby eunuch named Tarid, gathers up all the books he can and loads them onto the back of a passing mule. He takes off in the hopes of saving what he can of universal knowledge. In Rompepistas: Rompepistas is seventeen years old. He's a punk, he lives on the outskirts of Barcelona, and he does everything for the music: Generation X, The Clash, The Jam, Las Duelistas... That last one's his own group, where he plays the guitar and bellows into the microphone. It's all about playing to keep the sadness at bay and to never cry again. When you start playing, everything changes. All the shit clears up. In The King of Moths: Ele and Tonya are celebrating their fourth anniversary, but what was going to be a romantic night will end up turning into the end of their relationship. They don't know it yet, but the nightmare has only just begun: SOMETHING WANTS TO FEED ON THEIR FEELINGS, savoring the good, and leaving only the bad... and it won't stop until there's nothing left.

ABLAZE BLACK HISTORY COLLECTED SET 1

: Celebrate Black History in Comics with this spotlight collected set from ABLAZE! Featuring two titles - Friday Foster: The Sunday Strips and Hendrix: Electric Requiem - that reflect significant moments and figures in Black American History. Friday Foster features the story of a former nightclub 'camera bunny' turned photographer's assistant turned fashion model. With an innate inclination to help others and a natural beauty that makes her a magnet for men, Friday often finds herself in some very sticky situations and world-class adventures. The strip is generally cited as the first mainstream (i.e. nationally syndicated) comic strip starring a Black woman in the title role and features a mixture of adventure and romance, often with social commentary thrown in for good measure. Hendrix: Electric Requiem is a compelling trip into the mind and world of Jimi Hendrix. Electric Requiem is an exhilarating ride, from Jimi's difficult beginnings in the South, plagued by racism, through his global stardom and triumph at Woodstock and the excessive lifestyle of a rockstar. A rockstar who, even with all his experiences, never forgot where he came from.

With our WILFRID LUPANO collection, receive three hardcover volumes that speak to the writer's varied range and skill in reflecting both humor and human experience. In THE LIBRARY MULE OF CORDOBA: The Caliphate of Al-Andalus, after a great period of peace and learning, faces a power struggle after the death of the Caliph al-Hakam II. In exchange for the support of radical clergymen, the vizier Amir seeks to burn the books of Cordoba's famed library to ash.

In THE OLD GEEZERS (VOL. 1-2): Lupano tells the story of three septuagenarians who have been friends since childhood: Antoine, Emile, and Pierrot. They have each taken different paths in life, made different choices, and started (or not) their own families. The series moves back and forth between the 50s and the present day, telling the tragic-comic tale of our time, with all of its social, political, and cultural upheavals!
