The sculptor (2001)

Scott McCloud

Others: Leaning positive

"David Smith is giving his life for his art--literally. Thanks to a deal with Death, the young sculptor gets his childhood wish: to sculpt anything he can imagine with his bare hands. But now that he only has 200 days to live, deciding what to create is harder than he thought, and discovering the love of his life at the 11th hour isn't making it any easier! This is a story of desire taken to the edge of reason and beyond; of the frantic, clumsy dance steps of young love; and a gorgeous, street-level portrait of the world's greatest city. It's about the small, warm, human moments of everyday life...and the great surging forces that lie just under the surface. Scott McCloud wrote the book on how comics work; now he vaults into great fiction with a breathtaking, funny, and unforgettable new work"--

    What are the most important days of your life? Meet Brás de Oliva Domingos. The miracle child of a world-famous Brazilian writer, Brás spends his days penning other people's obituaries and his nights dreaming of becoming a successful author himself—writing the end of other people's stories, while his own has barely begun. But on the day that life begins, would he even notice? Does it start at 21 when he meets the girl of his dreams? Or at 11, when he has his first kiss? Is it later in his life when his first son is born? Or earlier when he might have found his voice as a writer? Each day in Brás's life is like a page from a book. Each one reveals the people and things who have made him who he is: his mother and father, his child and his best friend, his first love and the love of his life. And like all great stories, each day has a twist he'll never see coming... In Daytripper, the Eisner Award-winning twin brothers Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá tell a magical, mysterious and moving story about life itself—a hauntingly lyrical journey that uses the quiet moments to ask the big questions.

    The strange and exotic Menzoberranzan—the great city of the Underdark, founded millennia ago by the dark elves after they left the surface world—is the home of Drizzt Do'Urden, the hero of The Icewind Dale. Drizzt, the young prince of one of the ruling houses, comes of age in his race's cruel and ruthless world, where the only ray of hope is his weapons master, Zaknafein, who teaches him how—and why—to wield a sword. Possessing a sense of honor incomprehensible to the unprincipled society around him—a society intent only on satisfying the vile whims of the Spider Queen—young Drizzt faces an inevitable dilemma: can he live in a world that rejects integrity?
