Delve into the life and inspirations of the 'Father of Epic Fantasy' with ABLAZE's J.R.R. Tolkien Genesis Collected Set, two great GN titles-Kalevala and Tolkien: Lighting Up the Darkness-that reveal the personal history and literary inspirations for Tolkien's most well-known works, all at a specially discounted price! In Kalevala: The Graphic Novel artist Sami Makkonen presents a stunning comic adaptation of the Finnish national epic the Kalevala, which inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to write The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings. The story tells the adventures and fates of wizard V?in?m?inen, warrior Lemmink?inen, black-smith Ilmarinen and other larger than-life-characters looking for love, riches and magic in the far-away lands of the ancient North. The world of Kalevala is lyrical, harsh and totally unique. In Tolkien: Lighting Up the Darkness: JRR Tolkien was not always the old Oxford professor pipe in the mouth, refining his extraordinary work. In 1915, at age 23, he left for the front with his high school friends, whom he loved like brothers. The horror of war will brand his relationship to friendship, love, and creation. This graphic novel explores the youth of the author of The Lord of the Rings, and his traumatic experience of the battlefields of the First World War, which will forge the imagination of his literary work.

ABLAZE CREATOR SPOTLIGHT WILFRID LUPANO COLL SET

ABLAZE is spotlighting some of the incredible creatives under our banner with specially priced collections of their extraordinary works! 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. 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 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!

ALL THE PEOPLE I HAVE BEEN HC

It's better to laugh in life. And, if possible, to laugh at yourself. In this new graphic novel, cartoonish Alfonso Casas reflects on the various phases of life, portraited through beautiful illustrations created to remind us of the power of our thoughts and the new worlds in which we constantly find ourselves. As in his previous title, Monster Mind, Casas focuses on the premise that all humans live their own lives, within their own minds, which deserve to be treated with grace as our homes among this crazy, big, diverse world.
