Even Catwoman needs a break from the city sometimes! Featuring a story by Eisner Award winner Sean Murphy (Batman: White Knight) and the DC debut of co-writer Blake Northcott (Vampirella), join Catwoman on this two-part story as she leaves for the jungle to blow off some steam in the best way she knows how…stealing the world’s largest diamond from an annual super-secret supervillain auction, of course!

The cat’s out of the bag! Everyone at Snowflame’s auction is there for the same thing: the list. But what is the market value of a list containing all the intel the world’s greatest crime-fighters have on super-villains? And who exactly is on the list? You’ll have to ask Catwoman to find out.

Just in time for Batman Day 2018 on September 15, DC presents the sold-out first issue of the acclaimed miniseries written and illustrated by Sean Murphy! Set in a world where The Joker is cured of his insanity and homicidal tendencies, The Joker, now known as ÒJack,Ó sets about trying to right his wrongs.

This new research monograph discusses the basis of one of Ireland''s most extensive (and profitable) hoaxes: the MacCarthy Mor Affair, and the attendant scandal surrounding the selling of Irish traditional titles to otherwise sane businessmen and professionals. Murphy''s research covers the origins of the old Gaelic titles in pre-Norman Ireland. Principally the title of Chief, the collapse of the Gaelic order, the survival of some chiefly titles, the Gaelic Revival and the emergence of the Office of Arms. An account is given of the Office of Chief Herald as part of the new Irish state and the courtesy recognition under Dr. MacLysaght in 1944 and years that followed. Finally the emergence of one Terrence MacCarthy of Belfast as "MacCarthy Mor, Prince of Desmond" and his initial success and final unmasking is amusingly and cogently described.

Sean Murphy, Clay McCormack e il bravissimo disegnatore italiano Simone Di Meo ci riportano nel mondo di Batman: Cavaliere Bianco con due miniserie che omaggiano i personaggi della serie animata Batman: Beyond e rielaborano le origini di uno degli aiutanti per eccellenza del Pipistrello: Red Hood!

Question: How do you get over it? Answer: You don''t. You don''t want to. It makes you who you are. Sean Murphy lost his mother days after her fifty-ninth birthday, following a five-year battle with cancer. In this eloquent memoir, he explores his family history through the context of grief, compassion, faith, and the cultivation of an artistic sensibility. Unfolding in a range of voices, brutal and tender in its portrayal of terminal illness, Please Talk about Me When I''m Gone is an unyielding love story, in which devotion and memory are capable of transcending death.

Acclaimed author and music critic Sean Murphy''s new poetry collection is a searing and timely take on American culture that finds perspective on the present by interrogating our past. The Blackened Blues offers a powerful glimpse into the human psyche, exploring the minds of artists and visionaries, addicts and trauma survivors, searching (as we all are) for "some way to live." We leave this book with a heavy dose of truth, but also of the kind of beauty that makes such truth bearable.

HARLEY QUINN AUF MÖRDERJAGD! In Gotham City hat sich vieles verändert, sei der Joker tot ist und Bruce Wayne wegen seines Kreuzzugs als Batman zu einer langjährigen Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt wurde. Aus dem düsteren Moloch ist eine Stadt mit Zukunft geworden, mit weniger Verbrechen und Korruption. Dann aber schlägt ein neuer Serienmörder zu, und der hat es auf alte Filmstars abgesehen. Um den Täter zu fassen und weitere Tote zu verhindern, braucht die Polizei die Hilfe der Psychologin Harleen Quinzel, die einst die Gehilfin des Jokers war, denn niemand kennt sich besser mit irren Killern aus als sie. Und so geht Harley Quinn auf Mörderjagd ...

In this collection of essays, reviews and ruminations, best-selling author Sean Murphy attempts to tackle the world in writing, one topic at a time. Selecting a sampling of his most popular pieces as well as some personal favorites, Murphy ranges from music to movies, literature to politics, sports to tributes for the departed. At his blog, Murphy''s Law, and as a columnist for PopMatters and contributing editor for The Weeklings, Murphy has combined enthusiasm and proficiency in the service of short and extended analyses. Throughout this compilation he shifts seamlessly between culture, the arts and an ongoing interrogation of American society. Why is Robert Johnson the most influential American musician of the 20th Century? How-and why-did Dennis Miller go from being one of the better comedians in the world to a humorless hack? Why are even the most gifted novelists unable to write convincing sex scenes in their fiction? Was the first round of Hagler vs. Hearns in 1985 the most exciting three minutes in sporting history? Is it reasonable to suggest that Chinatown is the only perfect American film ever made? What does it mean to declare Stephen King the Paul Bunyan of letters? Is it possible we don''t adequately celebrate either Moby Dick or The Great Gatsby? Why should everyone consider cancelling their subscription to The Washington Post? Does nostalgia play a defensible, even necessary role in one''s art or life? Equal parts reporter and raconteur, Murphy brings an informed acumen to essays mercifully free from academic jargon and pretension. His subjects cover so-called high and lowbrow and just about anything in between, and it''s obvious throughout that his only agenda is to celebrate, or castigate, or cross-examine his own impulses and predispositions. By turns studious, confrontational, hilarious and philosophical, Murphy''s Law, Vol. One will leave readers better informed, provoked and, hopefully, inspired to discover the work of some geniuses who''ve fallen outside the lower frequencies.

Selecting a sampling of his most popular pieces as well as some personal favorites, Murphy ranges from movies and literature to politics, sports and tributes for the departed. At his blog, Murphy''s Law, and as a columnist for PopMatters and contributing editor for The Weeklings, Murphy has combined enthusiasm and proficiency in the service of short and extended analyses. Throughout this compilation he shifts seamlessly between culture, the arts and an ongoing interrogation of American society. Ranging from acclaimed foreign films like Walkabout to addictive pop-candy like Caddyshack, or remembering the impact of Steve Jobs and Norio Ohga (who invented the compact disc), this collection at times eulogizes, castigates and celebrates culture, both high and lowbrow. Whether describing the ordeal of putting down a beloved dog, the melodrama of unrequited teen crushes, or seeking out authentic Chinese cuisine in rural Virginia, Murphy takes a deep dive on topics familiar and obscure. Were the ''90s a soulless wasteland or an artistic apogee, ripe for reassessment? What''s the best scene in cinematic history? How did Muhammad Ali''s most important fight take place outside the ring? Did mistakes made early in Obama''s first term presage the unimaginable spectacle of Donald Trump? Can the millennial generation understand, much less appreciate, the lost art of making mix-tapes? Has 21st Century information overload made enlightenment possible, or even desirable? Equal parts reporter and raconteur, Murphy brings an informed acumen to essays mercifully free from academic jargon and pretension. By turns studious, confrontational, hilarious and philosophical, Murphy''s Law, Vol. Two will leave readers better informed, provoked and, hopefully, inspired to discover the work of some geniuses who''ve fallen outside the lower frequencies.
