Centennial Edition - 1st printing.

By George Orwell. Foreword by Thomas Pynchon. Afterword by Erich Fromm.

Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwells chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever…

Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston cant escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching… A startling and haunting vision of the world, 1984 is so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the influence of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions - a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 368 pages, Text Only. Cover price $17.00.

1st Edition - 1st printing.

Written by Barnaby Legg and Jim McCarthy. Art and cover by Flameboy.

GodSpeed: The Kurt Cobain Graphic tells Cobain's story in the format of a totally unique graphic novel. Writers Barnaby Legg and Jim McCarthy have constructed their story using biographical fact interwoven with references to the singer's tortured self-image.

The vibrant art by Flameboy captures both the subjective dreamscape and the objective reality that form the heart of this examination of a tragic musical legend. Much more than a biography, GodSpeed is unlike anything you have read about Kurt Cobain before.

Going beyond the facts, it transmutes an extraordinary life into an equally extraordinary work of art.
