Je dobojováno. Bažináč se vrací z Pekla a chce jen spočinout v Abbyině náruči. Právě to mu je ale odepřeno – v jeho nepřítomnosti fotograf Howard Fleck zveřejnil fotografie Bažináče a Abby a vyvolal tím skandál. Abby byla obviněna ze zoofilie a nakonec utekla do Gothamu. A právě tam se za ní Bažináč vydá, vstříc konfliktu s Batmanem, Lexem Luthoren i gothamskou policií… Tato klasická sága od legendárního tvůrčího týmu v čele s Alanem Moorem, Stephenem Bissettem, Johnem Totlebenem, Stanem Wochem, Rickem Veitchem, Ronem Randallem a Alfredem Alcalou líčí přerod Bažináče z netvora z bažiny v mocného elementála, jehož moc by mohla přesáhnout samotnou Zemi.

Některé komiksy fungují v žánru jako milník – a Sága o Bažináčovi je jedním z nich. Alan Moore si vzal staré a zapomenuté postavičky a vdechl jim nový život. A co víc, povedlo se mu vzkřísit hororový komiks, proti vůli cenzorů z CCA, pro něž byla kombinace nahoty, rozkládajících se zombií, incestu a nekrofilie příliš. Alec Holland uhořel, jeho duše však žije dál. Příběhy zeleného monstra se z akčních dobrodružství proměnily v atmosférické a ponuré horory, v „Sandmana z bažin“. Po zemi kráčí ďábel, dává lidem rady do života a na pomoc si z pekla povolal řadu mrtvých. A zlu se může postavit jedině bytost, která možná kdysi byla člověkem. Americký jih nikdy nebyl nejdokonalejším místem pro život – teď se však stává dokonalým místem pro smrt…

Beguiling and dangerous, V ignites the fuse of revolution when he urges his fellow citizens to shed the blanket of tyranny and oppression they have permitted themselves to be cloaked in. While those in power take steps to neutralize the threat, police pursue the mystery of V, unaware of the terrible truth that awaits them.

Jsou totiž členy neopoliského desátého policejního okrsku, známého jako Top 10. Teď ale Smax i Toybox dali sbohem svým poldovským povinnostem a čelí novým výzvám na Smaxově rodném světě, kam náš modrý obr byl povolán na pohřeb strýčka Macka. Na tomhle světě jej neznají jako Jeffa Smaxe, ale jako Jaafse Macksuna, a prožil si tu jako mladík trýznivé dobrodružství, které před ostatními v Neopoli dosud úspěšně tajil. Robyn jej nyní provází do světa, kde neexistuje žádná věda a kde bernou mincí jsou pouze mýty a magie. Netrvá dlouho a naši parťáci se zapletou do hrdinské výpravy, která si vyžádá všechny jejich síly a schopnosti. Jejich cílem je pomoct některým starým i novým přátelům a dovést do konce nezavršený starý souboj, díky čemuž bude snad Jeff moci uložit svou mučivou minulost nadobro k odpočinku... Vystupují hned dvě Smrti!

Jeden z nejslavnějších týmů zmizel ve vesmíru a je třeba okamžitě sehnat náhradu. Jakýmkoliv způsobem – lhaním, vydíráním či vymývání mozku. Takový superhrdinský tým nebude zřejmě normální, a tak se v něm potkávají nájemní zabijáci, manipulátoři a psychopati. Zatímco na druhém konci galaxie se původní členové týmu potýkají se svým vlastním peklem. Moorovy WildC.A.T.s je inteligentní a zábavný mainstream, který si hraje se žánrem, překvapuje zvraty a narušuje oblíbená klišé. Tento příběh nabízí akční zábavu plnou hlášek, bizarních nápadů a výrazných postav, ale také se dotýká témat deziluze, demontáže mýtů, politické satiry a antiutopie. Alan Moore nikdy nepřistupuje k jednoduchým zápletkám; WildC.A.T.s lze vnímat jako monumentální superhrdinskou řežbu, cynickou komedii, drama nebo politický román. Na sérii se podílela řada slavných jmen, v čele s perfekcionistou Travisem Charestem, jehož jemná a precizní kresba je náročná na čas. Charest se střídal s dalšími umělci, jako jsou Kevin Maguire a Kevin Nowlan, kteří spolupracovali s Moorem i na dalších projektech. Další legendy, včetně Jima Leeho, přispěly do galerie.

From Robert Johnson to Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson to John Lee Hooker, blues and gospel artists figure heavily in the mythology of twentieth-century culture. The styles in which they sang have proved hugely influential to generations of popular singers, from the wholesale adoptions of singers like Robert Cray or James Brown, to the subtler vocal appropriations of Mariah Carey. Their own music, and how it operates, is not, however, always seen as valid in its own right. This book provides an overview of both these genres, which worked together to provide an expression of twentieth-century black US experience. Their histories are unfolded and questioned; representative songs and lyrical imagery are analysed; perspectives are offered from the standpoint of the voice, the guitar, the piano, and also that of the working musician. The book concludes with a discussion of the impact the genres have had on mainstream musical culture.
