O grande cartunista e roteirista americano estreia na literatura juvenil, com uma ficção cujo herói, um menino de dez anos, sonha em tornar-se desenhista de HQ. Jimmy Jibbett tem uma coisa que conta a seu favor. Embora fraco nos esportes e não muito melhor nos estudos, sabe desenhar. E é o que ele faz, dia e noite. Histórias em quadrinhos. O sonho de Jimmy é um dia vir a ser um grande cartunista, maior até que Walt Disney. O Pai acha que Jimmy perde seu tempo. E a Mãe – bem, esta tem a cabeça sempre voando, de modo que não ajuda muito. Aí aparece Charley Beemer, o maior atleta pré-adolescente na história de Montclair, Nova Jersey, que se revela um fã de Jimmy (e do super-herói inventado por ele, Mini-Man). Quando Charley vem com a sugestão de que ele e Jimmy criem juntos, de parceria, uma nova história em quadrinhos, Jimmy acha que nada pode ser melhor do que isso na vida. A saga de Jimmy, o menino cartunista, é também a história de uma família; o pai e a mãe de Jimmy; Lisi e Susu, suas irmãs; e, talvez o mais importante de todos, Tio Lester, que escreve tentativas fracassadas de musicais para a Broadway e cujo único sonho é o mesmo de Jimmy: ser reconhecido por aquilo que é o que mais gosta de fazer. O fracasso, Jimmy fica sabendo, faz parte do caminho que leva à vitória. Título Altamente Recomendável pela Fundação Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil - FNLIJ 1995, categoria tradução/jovem

New York Times Bestseller One of the Washington Post’s Best Graphic Novels of the Year Nominated for the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize Meet Big Sam Hannigan. Tough, righteous, a man on a mission. Only problem is, it''s the wrong mission. With the New York Times bestseller Kill My Mother, legendary cartoonist Jules Feiffer began an epic saga of American noir fiction. With Cousin Joseph, a prequel that introduces us to bare-knuckled Detective Sam Hannigan, head of the Bay City''s Red Squad and patriarch of the Hannigan family featured in Kill My Mother, Feiffer brings us the second installment in this highly anticipated graphic trilogy. Our story opens in Bay City in 1931 in the midst of the Great Depression. Big Sam sees himself as a righteous, truth-seeking patriot, defending the American way, as his Irish immigrant father would have wanted, against a rising tide of left-wing unionism, strikes, and disruption that plague his home town. At the same time he makes monthly, secret overnight trips on behalf of Cousin Joseph, a mysterious man on the phone he has never laid eyes on, to pay off Hollywood producers to ensure that they will film only upbeat films that idealize a mythic America: no warts, no injustice uncorrected, only happy endings. But Sam, himself, is not in for a happy ending, as step by step the secret of his unseen mentor''s duplicity is revealed to him. Fast-moving action, violence, and murder in the noir style of pulps and forties films are melded in the satiric, sociopolitical Feifferian style to dig up the buried fearmongering of the past and expose how closely it matches the headlines, happenings, and violence of today. With Cousin Joseph, Feiffer builds on his late-life conversion to cinematic noir, bowing, as ever, to youthful heroes Will Eisner and Milton Caniff, but ultimately creating a masterpiece that through his unique perspective and comic-strip noir style illuminates the very origins of Hollywood and its role in creating the bipolar nation we''ve become.

A Limited Edition of 150 copies, with full cloth binding and full cloth slipcase, includes a signed and numbered art print.

L'avventura di Julie che non potendo avere un cane ottiene un gatto, ma è un gatto antipatico. Allora ci vuole un criceto e poi.... via un animale dietro l'altro.

"Feiffer: The Collected Works" is part of a series bringing together all the cartoons, plays, screenplays, articles, essays, and other writings of this great political and social satirist. Vol. 4 collects Feiffer''s great comic strip "Sick, Sick, Sick" (later renamed "Feiffer"), strips for "Playboy" magazine, and his satire on Hollywood sexuality, "Passionella."

The award-winning cartoonist, playwright, and author delivers a witty, illustrated rendition of his life, from his childhood as a wimpy kid in the Bronx to his legendary career in the arts. A gifted storyteller who has delighted readers and theater audiences for decades, Jules Feiffer now turns his talents to the tale of his own life. Plagued by learning problems, a controlling mother, and a debilitating sense of fear, Feiffer embarked on his first cartoon apprenticeship at the age of seventeen, emboldened only by a passion for success and an aptitude for failure. He vividly recalls those transformative years working under the legendary Will Eisner, and later, after he was drafted into the army, his evolution from “smart-ass kid into an enraged satirist.” Backing into Forward also traces Feiffer''s love life, from a doomed hitchhiking trip to reclaim his high-school sweetheart to losing his virginity in Greenwich Village, and his road to marriage and fatherhood. At the center of this journey is Feiffer''s prolific creativity. In dazzling detail, he recounts the birth of his subversive graphic novella Munro, his entrée into New York''s literary salons, collaborations with film greats Mike Nichols, Robert Altman, and Jack Nicholson, and other major turning points. Brimming with wry punch lines, slices of Americana, and pithy social commentary, Backing into Forward charts Feiffer''s rise as an unlikely and incisive provocateur during the conformist fifties and the Vietnam and Civil Rights sixties and seventies.

The editorial cartoonist examines the American art form which produced comic book heroes such as Batman, Superman, and Captain Marvel in the nineteen-thirties and forties.

"Bark, George," says George''s mother, and George goes: "Meow," which definitely isn''t right, because George is a dog. And so is his mother, who repeats, "Bark, George." And George goes, "Quack, quack." What''s going on with George? Find out in this hilarious new picture book from Jules Feiffer.

‘Prince Roger sets out eagerly on a quest and finds a few adventures, a lot of friends, a damsel or two in distress (not!) and himself, in the end. A ‘carrier of joy’ whose mere presence causes everyone to laugh uncontrollably, Roger finds cruelty and kindness equally amusing, and expects his quest to be a lark. It’s anything but: As Roger passes through the Forever Forest, nearly starves at the Dastardly Divide, sees people at their worst in the Valley of Vengeance, and temporarily despairs in the Mountains of Malice, he sobers up, learns to care for others, becomes an expert peacemaker, does Good Deeds, and falls in love with Lady Sadie, who says what she thinks as she repeatedly saves his bacon.’—K. ‘Feiffer’s worldly-wise, confiding tone and sense of the absurd are highly congenial, and the drawings are a vintage Feiffer delight.’—Publishers Weekly. 100 Books for Reading and Sharing 1995 (NY Public Library)

The story of a boy cartoonist who dreams of becoming a professional artist.

In 1956, an unknown cartoonist named Jules Feiffer began drawing a weekly comic strip called Sick, Sick, Sick free of charge for a then-obscure weekly newspaper called the Village Voice. Within two years, Feiffer had become one of the most popular satirists of the period, appearing in several major newspapers in the U.S. and Great Britain, and with a best-selling book under his belt. Feiffer: The Collected Works Vol. 3 contains the first two scintillating years of this strip (later re-dubbed simply Feiffer), shot mostly from the original art. But that''s not all! This volume also includes "Boom," Feiffer''s savage take on H-bomb testing, government duplicity, and public apathy. "The Deluge" takes a modern everyman, Harvey Noah, and gives him the daunting task of warning the world of impending flood by going through proper bureaucratic channels. "Kept" is the story of a small, ugly man who discovers the awful secret of successful seduction. In "Harold Swerg," the title character is the greatest athlete in the world; he upsets the nation when he refuses to win the Olympics because there''s no challenge in it. As a special bonus this book includes "Rollie," a never-before-printed 10-page story from that period, about a bass player whose playing sends everyone who hears it into orbit. This story, which languished in Feiffer''s files for close to four decades, is a great lost treasure, and absolutely critical to any Feiffer fan!

Cartoons take a satiric look at modern life, gun control, the Middle East, the economy, and the arms race.

In a cabin in the woods, two bickering old Jewish recluses, Abe and Cohn, have retired, and haven''t moved in two decades. Abe is a former stockbroker, and Cohn is an unemployed musician. In fact Abe and Cohn represent one character, that has been split into two opposing sides of the same spirit: Cohn is the realist, who believing only in empirical reality, Abe is the romantic. Miraculous events begin to happen. When Cohn wishes for a new roommate, his wish is promptly granted by the arrival of a mad magus named Wiseman. This leads to another visitor who is none other than Joan of Arc, accompanied by her "Voices". Though her arrival is at first greeted by a shotgun blast, Abe and Cohn are eventually charmed by the saint, and she gets them to reconsider many of their preconceived ideas to such an extent that Abe and Cohn eventually switch positions: Abe becomes the skeptical realist and Cohn becomes the true believer. She calls Abe and Cohn to join her in a space ship on a pilgrimage to Heaven -- before the coming holocaust. Cohn is willing to go along, but Abe refuses, so Joan remains and sets up housekeeping in the cabin. When Joan accidentally cuts her finger in the kitchen, she faints and dies, which gets her to heaven without the space ship. Abe and Cohn are left behind to argue with Joan''s spiritual Voices.

A long-run Broadway hit, this warmly humorous--and human--play by our theatre''s most renowned comic writer, offers a wise and witty examination of a family hilariously beset by marital and domestic problems. ...one of the most professional pieces of work Bro
