      Der Tyrann ist besiegt. Die Fabelwesen sind befreit. Er hat die Liebe seines Lebens gefunden und hätte seine Flitterwochen eigentlich verdient. Doch das Böse wäre nicht das Böse, würde es für immer Ruhe geben. So kehrt Lord Farquaad als Geist ins Reich der Lebenden zurück und plant, größenwahnsinnig wie ehedem, Shreks Ehefrau Fiona zu töten, sie anschließend zu ehelichen und den Thron des Totenreichs zu besteigen. Dass unser Held das nicht zulassen kann, versteht sich von selbst und so begibt er sich auf den Weg in ein aberwitziges Abenteuer, um seine Frau zu retten und Farquaad abermals den Riegel vorzuschieben. „Shrek“ ist der Comic zum zweiten Teil des Megakinohits, der im Juli in den deutschen Kinos anläuft. Dass der Comic dem in nichts nachsteht, beweist derber Humor in bewährter Manier. Auch in den drei im Album enthaltenen Geschichten wird Correctness à la Disney nicht besonders geschätzt. Dass Pinocchio ein alter Lügner ist, wussten wir bereits, dass die drei kleinen Schweinchen nicht ganz koscher sind, dürfte uns neu sein.

      The names Joe Simon and Jack Kirby are synony­mous with comic books, and their partnership ush­ered in the Golden Age of comics starting in the 1940s. Together they created memorable characters such as Captain America and Sandman, invented romance com­ics, and raised the standard for the genres of western, crime, and horror comic books. Over the course of three decades they wrote and illustrated several hundred comics, many of which are reproduced in this oversized volume covering all aspects of their amazing career. Selected and with an introduction by Mark Evanier, the foremost authority on the work of Simon and Kirby, and an afterword by Jim Simon, son of Joe Simon, the book includes artwork photographed from the original art in Joe Simon’s private archive and showcases the seminal work of Simon and Kirby and their artistry as it has never been seen before.

    • Jack Kirby created or co-created some of comic books' most popular super heroes, including Captain America, The X-Men, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, The Mighty Thor, Darkseid, and The New Gods. More significantly, he created much of the visual language for fantasy and adventure comics. There were comics before Kirby, but for the most part their page layout, graphics, and visual dynamic aped what was being done in syndicated newspaper strips. Almost everything that was different about comic books began in the 1940s on the drawing table of Jack Kirby. This is his story by one who knew him well-Mark Evanier. First issued in 2008, Kirby: King of Comics was the first overview of the legendary comic book creator's career. It is now available in a smaller, more affordable package, revised and expanded for Kirby's centennial

      Love Life: Confessions of a Psychologist by Liz Scott is a memoir that explores some of the most common issues that confront couples. In four sections that correspond to her own marriages, Scott includes wisdom from experts in the fields, examples from clients in her own practice and an unflinching examination of how each challenge manifested in her own life. The final section explores the factors that tend to be present in healthy, functional relationships. With humor, warmth and candor, Scott gives an unvarnished account of herself and her relationships and comes across as just the kind of person you would want to consult if you had issues in your own relationship.
