Regular Cover by Jacen Burrows. Written by David Lapham. Art by German Nobile. David Lapham unveils a new tale of ancient Rome and the most feared emperor of all time. The one name that still speaks volumes of how absolute power can corrupt: Caligula. After his assassination attempt goes horribly and horrifyingly wrong, young Junius finds himself taken in by Caligula, who renames him Felix, meaning "lucky one," and becomes the Emperor's pet, confidant, whipping boy, lover, apprentice and biographer. Caligula lavishes money and women on Felix one minute, then beats him the next. Felix must play along if he's to find out the secret behind Caligula's mysterious supernatural power over life and death.

See how Twain hunted the Yeti, met the Six Million Dollar Man, had a love affair with Mamie Eisenhower, and accidentally became involved in X-rated films, all augmented with Kupperman's hilariously deadpan comics and illustrations. hardcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 144 pages, PC.

Includes DVD - 1st printing. By Art Spiegelman.

Why comics? In this book and its accompanying DVD, Art Spiegelman provides an onscreen reference copy of The Complete Maus linked to a large archive of audio interviews with his father, memories of his mother by those who knew her during the war, essays about cartooning, scholarly essays about Maus, thousands of preparatory sketches and drafts, scans of his private Maus notebooks, and much more.
