Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Talents: A Graphic Novel Adaptation is the continuation of the travails of Lauren Olamina. Brought to life by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the creative team behind the #1 New York Times bestseller Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, Parable of the Talents is told in the voice of Lauren Olamina's daughter, Asha Vere - from whom she has been separated for most of the girl's life - interspersed with sections in the form of Lauren's own journals. Against a background of a war-torn continent under the control of a Christian fundamentalist fascist state, Asha searches for answers about her own past while struggling to reconcile with her mother's legacy - caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future among the stars.

AUDREY HEPBURN ILLUSTRATED BIOGRAPHY

Born into privilege, Audrey Hepburn lived an incredible riches-to-rags-to-riches life as her childhood was swiftly upended by World War II. During the course of her incredible career, she was a muse of Givenchy, only the third woman to win the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award), and an activist whose work for UNICEF earned her a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992. Her inimitable charisma, deep empathy, and dedication to her craft built a lasting legacy-one that stands out among her peers during Hollywood's golden era. Her name is synonymous with elegance and a certain kind of movie stardom given the impeccable image she so carefully curated during her lifetime-an image which hid incredible resilience and strength. Author Eileen Hofer and illustrator Christopher Long? peel back the myth of Audrey Hepburn in this graphic novel exploring the life behind her legacy.

FIERCE F D UP FAIRY TALE OF FED UP PRINCESS GN

An irreverent, darkly funny, feminist spin on the legend of King Arthur. Britain's most legendary hero is now an old drunkard who spends his days slouched on his throne. He owes his former glory to the magic sword Excalibur, which the wizard Merlin forged for him in order to slay the hordes of demons who came to invade the kingdom of Pendragon. That incredible weapon now collects dust-and suffers from a bad case of boredom. Meanwhile, Arthur's daughter, Princess Ysabelle, is wondering how to flee the marriage her father has arranged with the vile Baron Cumber. Desperate for something different and better, Ysabelle and her father's sword join hands and set off on a quest to change their fates. But although Ysabelle is brave, she's never ventured outside before-and the real world is much harsher than life within the palace walls. In order to survive and accomplish her quest, she must rely on Excalibur, as her father did before her. But Excalibur's intentions may not be as noble as they seem...
