Inhalt: In the fictional world of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, the Escapist--the epitome of Golden Age superhero--was conceived. This anthology is a collection of the hero's history and his exploits, created by an all-star cast of comic book luminaries. The Escapist and his associates are heroes to all who languish in oppression's chains. They roam the globe, performing amazing feats to foil diabolical evildoers. From preventing a prison break and attack on Empire City, to facing a demonic horde in Japan, to crushing a galactic takeover in the year 2966, and to surfacing a sunken submarine from 300 fathoms, the Escapist brings hope and liberation.

Inhalt: Inspired by the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, this story of three aspiring comics creators with big dreams, small cash, and publishing rights to one forgotten Golden Age hero--The Escapist--is Brian K. Vaughan's love letter to his chosen medium. The lives of these creators Max, Denny, and Case--latter day versions of Joe Kavalier and Sam Clay--are brilliantly woven together with the world of their creations. Discovering his late father's decades-spanning vault of Escapist memorabilia at the age of six, Max became a fan of the Master of Elusion almost overnight. After exhausting the extensive stash of Golden and Silver Age comics, he needed more--and started writing his own Escapist stories. Now nineteen, he's determined to make the character a sensation once again. Together with his friend Denny Jones, and their newfound artist Case Weaver, Max relaunches The Escapist comics. Through a couple risky publicity stunts--including one that makes national news--the creators risk criminal charges to get the word out about their publication. Will it be enough to make the book a success? Or just enough to get them in jail? Interwoven with Max's struggles are the comic-within-a-comic stories of The Escapist himself, his ally Luna Moth, good old-fashioned death traps, betrayal, and a touch of romance. Mulitiple award-winning author Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Y--The Last Man, Ex Machina) successfully crafts the perfect partner to Michael Chabon's masterpiece.

Inhalt: Ein Abenteuerroman in klassischem Gewand und doch ein echter Chabon. Michael Chabon taucht in diesem Abenteuerroman klassischer Provenienz tief ein in die Kaukasusregion des 10. Jahrhunderts und schafft mit Zelikman und Amram zwei liebenswerte, lebenskluge Schurken, die dem Sohn des ermordeten Königs helfen sollen, den rechtmäßigen Nachfolger auf den Thron zu bringen. Sie sind ein seltsames Paar - der blasse, spinnenbeinige Zelikman, ein wortkarger fränkischer Jude auf Wanderschaft, sowie Amram, der afrikanisch-jüdische Riese, dessen scharfe Zunge ähnlich verletzen kann wie seine Streitaxt. Brüder im Geiste und Kameraden, so ziehen sie um das Jahr 950 durch die kaukasischen Berge und tun das, wonach ihnen gerade ist. Auftragsdiebstahl, Trickbetrügerei oder sonstige Übeltaten - dem ungleichen Paar scheint nichts fremd. Gleichwohl kommen sie an ihre Grenzen, als sie gezwungen werden, Eskorte und Aufpasser des Prinzen der Chasaren zu werden. Sein Vater, der Bek, wurde von seinem brutalen Bruder vom Thron gestoßen, und der unreife, übellaunige Junge will nur eins: Seinen Vater rächen und den rechtmäßigen Thronfolger auf seinem Platz sehen. Helfen könnte der Kagan, das gottgleiche Oberhaupt, der auf einer Insel der Wolga lebt und nie einen Untertan zu Gesicht bekommt. Oder soll eine Armee gegen den Usurpator zu Felde ziehen? Voll Spannung verfolgt man die Handlung rund um Zelikman und Amram und bewundert Chabons Kenntnisreichtum, Humor, Fantasie und Sprachgewalt. Schlagworte:10. Jahrhundert, Abenteuer Systematik: Roman / Erzählung Umfang: 183 S. Standort: CHA ISBN: 978-3-462-04189-7
