Gary Gianni Livres

Prince Valiant is a high-art comic novel that follows the exploits of the iconic knight errant.

A century before A GAME OF THRONES, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros... A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE. Before Tyrion Lannister and Podrick Payne there was Dunk and Egg. A young, naïve but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg - whose true identity must be hidden from all he and Dunk encounter: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, and featuring more than 160 illustrations by Gary Gianni, one of the finest fantasy artists of our time, this beautiful volume will transport readers to the world of the Seven Kingdoms in an age of bygone chivalry.

Hot off the success of Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea, Gianni's original masterpiece returns in paperback! Includes an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon! Gary Gianni created one of the strangest occult detective teams in comics history: millionaire filmmaker Lawrence St. George and his associate, Benedict, of the venerable guild of Corpus Monstrum. They navigate a peculiar and deadly world plagued by squid pirates, zombie cowboys, abominable snowmen, mustachioed skulls, and fat, flying demons. Gianni’s meticulous and evocative art combined with his haunting but often hilarious writing create a horror comic unlike anything else on the stands. This book also includes classic prose stories by Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and more, illustrated by Gianni. “These are (along with a few issues of Stan and Jack’s Fantastic Four) my all time favorite comic book stories.”—Mike Mignola “Gianni is a master—The MonsterMen leaves no doubt: the dude knows how to rock a comic book page.”—Michael Chabon

Jules Verne, einer der Begründer der Science-Fiction, ist bekannt für Werke wie „Die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde“ und „20 000 Meilen unter dem Meer“. Gary Gianni, ein renommierter Comiczeichner, hat Vernes Geschichten in einer prunkvollen Sonderedition für den INSEKTENHAUS-Verlag adaptiert.

SOUČÁST HELLBOY UNIVERSA Hellboy padne do rukou námořního kapitána, jenž má v úmyslu prodat ho do cirkusu. Na palubě však cestuje také tajuplná žena s úmyslem vypátrat pradávného plaza, který již od počátku věků brázdí hlubiny oceánu. Mike Mignola tentokrát spojil síly s Garym Giannim (Prince Valiant, MonsterMen) a společně stvořili komiksovou povídku, jejíž události následují po příběhu „Ostrov“ ze série Hellboy.
