Two new graphic novels arrived today.
One by Christopher Yost, Pasqual Ferry and Frank D’Armata, is an adaptation of ENDER’S GAME by Orson Scott Card.
Ender has been sent to battle school by his parents. Fighting in real and simulated practice fights reveals his leadership potential when other students start to follow him and take lessons from him. He might even be ready to lead his own army in combat. Oh, and did I mention? Ender is six years old.
Runaways “Pride and Joy” by Brian K. Vaughan is about a group of six teens who eavesdrop on their parents’ annual fund-raising event when they discover that their parents aren’t actually the charitable people they pretend to be. In fact, they’re super villains with major secrets to hide. As it says on the cover, “Together, [the teens] run away from home and straight into the adventure of their lives – vowing to turn the tables on their evil legacy”.

OK, I’ll admit it. I’m not the greatest “draw-er” in the world. Drawing books that seem to jump from “a few circles and lines” to – “some guy break dancing” without much in between to explain how one actually DRAWS that – they drive me crazy. But this one, “Street Scene: how to draw graffiti style” is not like that! It give step by step examples and shows you how to do outlines and then color in your pictures.
This book shows you how to draw 18 different characters – hip hop artists, rappers, graffiti artists, DJs, basketball players, Goth girls and more.
On the back of the book, it says:
“So, what is graffiti-style” anyway? Author John Lee describes it as a melding of manga and old-school American animation with a dab of street graffiti mixed in” . Come in and check it out!
