LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

•

Dear Friends and Fans, We are delighted to share with you our newest catalog of books, featuring the biggest and most popular brands in film, television, music, pop culture, and more. This year marks the series finale of HBO’s groundbreaking Game of Thrones, and we are thrilled to bring to light the creative genius behind the program through our publishing. Together with HBO, Insight will release the definitive collection of behind-the-scenes material, much of which has never been seen, to celebrate the artistry of the series’ eight-season run. Four books—The Art of Game of Thrones, The Photography of Game of Thrones, Game of Thrones: The Costumes, and Game of Thrones: The Storyboards—will take fans through the creation of the show in the most comprehensive exploration ever assembled. Insight will also commemorate the end of another genre-defining pop culture phenomenon—the nine-episode Star Wars saga, which began in 1977 and culminates this year in Star Wars: Episode IX—through a jaw-dropping pop-up book from master paper engineer Matthew Reinhart. Following on the success of our Game of Thrones and Harry Potter collaborations, Insight and Reinhart will unite once again to create a stunning three-dimensional celebration of the saga's most epic battles and iconic moments. Batman: The Definitive History of the Dark Knight in Comics, Film, and Beyond will explore the landmark character’s decades-long history and legacy through film, animation, comics, and more, just in time for his 80th anniversary in 2019. Other noteworthy film and TV titles include a fascinating tour through the world of Hulu’s award-winning TV series The Handmaid’s Tale and two new books produced in partnership with one-of-a-kind animation studio LAIKA: The Art of Missing Link and an original illustrated storybook A Smile for Sasquatch: A Missing Link Story. Finally, our lifestyle and novelty program continues to grow through three cookbooks inspired by some of the biggest video games and films of all time—Overwatch, the Elder Scrolls series, and the Godfather trilogy—and through our new line of miniature books, which launches this year with titles from Batman, Wonder Woman, Harry Potter, and more. Through this catalog, we invite you to explore our 2019 program, which illustrates our enduring commitment to producing unique and engaging books and products that celebrate the art of storytelling in all its many forms.

Seeking shelter for her small group of followers, Daenerys journeys to Qarth. Though she is resolved to take back the Iron Throne, she knows that she will need to amass an army before attempting to stage a coup. When she first arrives in the walled city, Daenerys is won over by the Qartheen style: She wears a turquoise dress made from pleated paper silk with a wide metal filigree belt.

JON SNOW

on Snow (Kit Harington) grows up at Winterfell as the illegitimate son of Ned Stark, unaware of his trueborn identity as Aegon Targaryen, heir to the Iron Throne. Jon’s storyline takes him from Winterfell to the Wall and far beyond. He’s a character who is very much a product of this extremely cold environment. I felt he would be at home in dark colors and leather and fur—organic materials that would help him become one with the landscape. When I designed Jon’s first costume, I wanted him to look like the unloved son. Ned Stark’s wife, Catelyn, dislikes Jon intensely because he is a constant reminder of her husband’s supposed infidelity, and I dressed him in a way that would communicate how she feels about him. He wears a traditionally Northern look with the drawstring shirt underneath a dark brown long-line doublet and trousers. But while I dressed Robb Stark in leather

like his father, I used linens and cloth for Jon’s costumes to indicate that he isn’t as well looked after. His cloak, which was trimmed with rabbit fur, is also a bit thinner. Jon begins the story as a rather angry young man, dour and moody, and the grays and charcoals he wears are darker than those of the other members of the Stark clan to reflect that state of mind. Jon goes to the Wall of his own volition to join his uncle Benjen Stark (Joseph Mawle), an experienced member of the Night’s Watch and Ned’s younger brother. When Jon arrives at Castle Black, he’s wearing padded black leather armor and his cloak from Winterfell, which is made from a loose linen and billows beautifully in the wind. It felt right for the character to retain his original cloak. Despite his difficult relationship with Catelyn, he adores his father and half siblings and would have wanted a keepsake from his time with them.

WINTERFELL

interfell is the seat of House Stark, one of the Great Houses of Westeros, whose roots can be traced back to the First Men. Located in the North, the castle is often cold, but the chill is mitigated by hot springs that flow beneath it. Prior to the War of the Five Kings, Winterfell is ruled by Eddard “Ned” Stark, the Warden of the North, whose large family includes his sons, Robb, Bran, and Rickon; his daughters, Sansa and Arya; his ward, the ironborn prince Theon Greyjoy; and his alleged illegitimate son, Jon Snow. During the war, Theon takes the castle but is captured by Ramsay Snow, illegitimate son of House Bolton, who tries to burn Winterfell to the ground. The castle is then rebuilt when Ramsay takes residence and names himself Warden of the North. At the war’s end, Jon Snow retakes the castle and claims the up title King in the North. And finally, his sister, Sansa, becomes the Lady of Winterfell and rules in his absence. Executive producer D. B. Weiss wanted the castle of Winterfell to reflect the character of House Stark—sturdy, trustworthy, simple, and grounded.

Though Winterfell may seem the most medieval of the castles seen in the series, it isn’t truly medieval. Its design includes styles from both English and Scottish castles from the eleventh to thirteenth centuries, plus elements of the wooden stave churches seen in Scandinavia. Melding these distinctive architectural styles gave Winterfell its own style— familiar but unique. Banner featuring the House Stark direwolf sigil.

he fortress of Dragonstone sits on a small island bearing the same name, in the Narrow Sea on Blackwater Bay. Centuries before the War of the Five Kings, House Targaryen fled there from Valyria before it was destroyed. A hundred years after their arrival, Dragonstone served as a staging point for Aegon I Targaryen’s plot to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. With Aegon on the Iron Throne in King’s Landing, Dragonstone became the seat of the crown prince before his eventual ascent to the throne. When Robert I Baratheon overthrew Aerys Targaryen, he ceded Dragonstone to his brother Stannis, who plots his own attempt to take over as king after Robert dies. The sharp, brittle rocks of the island are actually dragonglass—one of only two weapons that can kill White Walkers.

rInGs of hudalla The planet Hudalla is an enormous gas giant orbited by some of the largest rings in the galaxy. It’s truly impressive to behold—but not nearly as impressive as the sumptuous snack that shares its name. Look, I’m well aware this ain’t the first time someone’s sliced up an onion, coated it with somethin’ delicious, and served it next to a sandwich. But these baked beauties have got somethin’ special that sets them apart from the traditional onion ring: They’ve traded breading for puffer pig bacon! That’s right, each and every ring is wrapped in juicy strips of meat for a flavor that’s bigger than any gas giant. Even better, the bacon is coated with a mixture of sugar and spice that caramelizes onto the surface of the rings as they cook. The real Hudalla might be a glorious sight, but believe me when I say that these rings are the true wonder.

InGredIents 2 large yellow onions, peeled and cut into ½-inch discs

PreP time: 15 minutes

2 tablespoons hot sauce

cooking time: 30 minutes

1 cup packed brown sugar

Yield: servings vary

½ teaspoon garam masala 1 pound sliced bacon

difficultY: medium

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to catch any drips and set a cooling rack on top. 2. Divide the sliced onions into sections of two rings sandwiched together, which will give some stability as they bake. Choose the largest rings and work smaller from there. Lightly brush each pair of rings with hot sauce. 3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and garam masala, then dip each slice of bacon in the sugar mix. 4. Wrap each onion in one or more slices of sugary bacon, making sure the bacon doesn’t overlap but covers most of the onion. Place each wrapped ring on the cooling rack over the prepared baking sheet. 5. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the bacon is crisp but the rings hold their shape. If you’d like the bacon any crisper, slide the baking sheet under the broiler very briefly. Enjoy while still warm, but be careful as they will be hot from the oven.

The Yule Ball

For the Triwizard Tournament’s Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire, the entrance to the Great Hall needed to be lowered to ground level to accommodate carriages arriving and dropping off students. In the early films, this entryway was shot on location at Christ Church college at Oxford University but it was very small, so the entryway was reinvented at the film studio.

An Owlery was added for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Set a ways from the castle, the Owlery is a tall cylindrical tower filled with windows perched on an equally tall rock. The design was a mash-up of French pigeon coops called pigeonniers and stately British houses.

Part II

As the film series progressed, Hogwarts castle continued to gain and lose towers. Its entrances were enlarged, and elements were shifted around in the grounds. Stuart Craig admitted that it would have been nice to read through all seven Harry Potter books before filming started. But he also felt that the changes added a level of interest to the films. The Hogwarts entrance gates appeared in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, not surprisingly flanked by two huge hogs. Once it’s learned that Voldemort has returned, Argus Filch uses a Secrecy Sensor on students entering the gates to locate any security breaches. At the end of Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore has died and Harry is left with what he thinks is the real Slytherin Locket. Harry and Hermione stand on the tower and open it, only to discover that it is a fake and that the real Horcrux is missing.

The biggest change in the castle in Half-Blood Prince was the addition of the Astronomy Tower. It replaced the Defense Against the Dark Arts Tower and became the tallest structure at Hogwarts.

Luna Lovegood fixes Harry’s broken nose with Episkey as they enter the gates.

Voldemort and his snake, Nagini, confronted Severus Snape in a redesigned Gothic boathouse in Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Its walls of windows glowed with reflections of fires that burned at Hogwarts castle.

Did You Notice? Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix saw the fewest changes to Hogwarts, most of them cosmetic, with taller cones and turrets added to the Central and Clock Towers. And the Clock Tower and its attached courtyard were moved to the opposite side of the castle.

“COME ON, TOM. LET’S FINISH THIS THE WAY WE STARTED IT.” Harry Potter,

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2

For Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, a larger stone viaduct bridge was added that led directly from the entrance courtyard, which itself was enlarged to accommodate the Battle of Hogwarts and the final duel between Harry and Voldemort.

SELLING POINTS • Exploring Hogwarts will be the first in a series of large-scale interactive books that explore locations throughout the Wizarding World. Each book will contain flaps that provide a thrilling interactive experience for young readers. The second book in this series will be published in fall 2020. • The Oscar-nominated Harry Potter films are one of the highest-grossing film franchises of all time, earning well over $7 billion worldwide. • Harry Potter is a worldwide cultural phenomenon that continues to expand with J.K.

DIAGON ALLEY

“WELCOME, HARRY, TO DIAGON ALLEY.” —Rubeus Hagrid, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

DIAGON ALLEY IN HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE , Harry Potter’s first view of daily life in the wizarding world is Diagon Alley, a marketplace for wizards and witches featuring magical shops stocked with owls and bats, potion ingredients, and the newest Quidditch brooms. The design of the buildings was inspired partly by illustrations from Charles Dickens’s novels of the mid-1800s, such as Oliver Twist and David Copperfield. Few streets or alleys in modern-day London showed the wear and tear of this age, so it was decided that Diagon Alley would be built at Leavesden Studios.

“THERE’S ONLY ONE PLACE WE’RE GOING TO GET ALL OF THIS—DIAGON ALLEY.” —Molly Weasley, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

ANGLED ARCHITECTURE Diagon Alley was one of the first sets created for Sorcerer’s Stone. It appears well loved and well livedin, with shops that tilt and teeter at impossible angles. Research into early Victorian architecture revealed its tendency to slant. The buildings were also very narrow and tall, so the designers played with gravity and had some structures literally lean on each other.

ATTACKED BY DEATH EATERS

SHOPS ON DIAGON ALLEY In addition to Ollivanders Wand Shop and Quality Quidditch Supplies, Diagon Alley features other exceptional shops bursting with magical merchandise. Slug & Jiggers Apothecary and Mr. Mulpepper’s Apothecary both offer bottles of potions and jars of dry ingredients. These were all hand-labeled by the graphics department, each with a serial number and store logo. Mr. Mulpepper’s shop has shelves that rise twenty-four feet high, so its jars and bottles had to be placed by hand by props personnel using a cherry picker. Sugarplum’s Sweet Shop is filled with candies unique to the wizarding world. Scribbulus Writing Instruments is stocked with important supplies for Hogwarts students: quills, parchment scrolls, and ink bottles. Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment contains a variety of astronomical and astrological gear. Some pieces were found at flea markets, antique shops, and auction houses; others were handmade by the props department.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Lord Voldemort’s Death Eaters attack Diagon Alley, destroying the shops and merchandise. Shopfronts are boarded up, and the street is filled with litter. In order to create the sad mood that pervades the area, any bright colors once seen on the street are removed and the buildings are repainted in tones of black and gray. Tattered and weather-beaten wanted posters for known Death Eaters are pasted on the walls.

WEASLEYS’ WIZARD WHEEZES There is one brightly colored store left on Diagon Alley after the Death Eater’s invasion: Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes, a joke shop founded by Fred and George Weasley. Everything about the three-story building references the ginger-haired twins, from vibrant-orange window sashes to a twenty-foot-tall statue of one of the twins. The statue raises and lowers a top hat that reveals a rabbit on alternate views, while its eyes move from side to side and its eyebrows move up and down.

MERA

PRINCESS OF XEBEL

The film may be titled Aquaman, but it has a strong buddy-action-adventure feel with a little old-school, HepburnTracy romantic comedy thrown in. The reason for that is the multifaceted character of Princess Mera of Xebel. In the comics, she has been around since the 1960s, but it wasn’t until Geoff Johns reimagined her for the New 52 Aquaman relaunch that the character truly came into her own. She is now an equal partner for Arthur, not just a secondary character. That partnership carries through the film and was the primary reason Amber Heard signed on to play her. “They kind of sold me on this character by saying she gets both the sword and a crown,” recalls Heard. “I don’t know if they knew how much that would appeal to me, but it won me over.” All it took for Wan to realize he had found his Mera was to watch Heard’s initial read with Jason Momoa. “One of the things that struck me when I first met Amber was just how charismatic and charming she is,” says Wan. “Here’s someone that can really sink into this role of Mera. Young girls can really look up to this character because Mera is so strong.” The actress wholeheartedly agrees with that description of her character. “Mera is in many ways someone I can relate to and that I identify with. I like to connect with characters that are strong, empowered women, who are very much their own characters,” Heard says. “And this is no exception. Mera is very much her own superhero.” OPPOSITE: Amber Heard as Mera using her power of hydrokinesis.

SELLING POINTS • Aquaman made more than one billion dollars at the global box office. • Filled with gorgeous concept art, storyboards, and set designs chronicling the making of the film accompanied by previously unreleased interviews and breath-taking photos. • The first movie depicting Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice garnered 872.7 million at the box office. • Justice League has over 1.3 million followers on Instagram, while the movie’s star, Jason Momoa, has over 5.2 million followers.

Chapter 1

RETURNING TO AGRABAH

JAFAR’ S ST UDY

For Jafar’s nefarious quarters, Jackson drew on a darker color palette. While the rest of the palace is constructed of warm wood tones and gold ﬂourishes, Jafar’s rooms are built from patterned carved stone and decorated with blues and dark reds. There’s also a metal orrery—a model of the solar system—in the center of the room. The designs on the walls reference the character’s obsession with sorcery and magic, and the team decorated the rooms with items that suggest Jafar’s ill intentions. “It’s got a beautiful, dark, quite sinister sort of quality about it, and it has a feeling like it’s tucked away in the palace,” set decorator Tina Jones says. “It’s an area where he does a lot of his magic. There’s lots of references to possible potions, alchemy, and maps, and just great symbolism painted onto the walls.” Jafar’s snake motif is present throughout his belongings and decor, and it eventually comes into play when he brings a throne into the palace as sultan. He is also the master of the dungeon, a dark, evil space beneath the palace where he brings his prisoners. The dungeon oﬀers a sense that Jafar does wicked things, especially when he doesn’t get his way.

OPPOSITE TOP: A large orrery sits in the center of the study.

LIONEL

FROST

ir Lionel Frost is a fearless, charismatic adventurer and one of the main protagonists of Missing Link . Sir Lionel is voiced by Hugh Jackman, whom director Chris Butler says he was thinking about while doing early character drawings . “We usually spend a good amount of time trying to find the actor or actress who fits the character best, but for this movie, I wanted Hugh, and I wasn’t going to accept anyone else!” With Jackman in mind, Sir Lionel’s design evolved, resulting in a character who is swashbuckling but stately, a broad-shouldered gentleman with a chiseled jaw . Described as a cross between Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond, Sir Lionel Frost is a privileged aristocrat who is always dressed in the latest fashions of the era . He can be self-centered and callous, and a bit of a Casanova, but he redeems himself through the course of the movie . As he travels the world to prove the existence of mythical creatures, he maintains an earnest appreciation for every new wonder he encounters .

A key collaborator in the character design for Missing Link was illustrator Warwick Johnson Cadwell (the No . 1 Car Spotter and Helena Crash book series), who is known for his playfully idiosyncratic drawings . “When he draws a period illustration, it is so full of authentic details, you can almost smell it,” explains Butler, who has been a fan of Johnson Cadwell’s work for years . “When I started the project, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted the characters to look like, but I needed something extra to bring them all to life . I turned to Warwick, who ended up sketching the entire world of this movie . . . animals, props, people in the street . . . illustrations both beautifully observed and wildly asymmetrical . I took my drawings and put them right through a Warwick filter—and that became the look of our movie .”

RACING THROUGH HILL VALLEY HISTORY

elcome to Hill Valley, California—“a nice place to live” since 1850. Well, at least, most of the time . . . Hill Valley had humble beginnings as a pioneer town, attracting settlers from across the world—and, in one famous case, from across time— looking to make a fresh start. Although the town was established in the middle of the nineteenth century, it was the Hill Valley courthouse, constructed in 1885 and featuring its iconic clock tower, that truly put it on the map. It’s fitting that the clock tower, with its striking cougar statues flanking the clock face, would go on to span the ages and become the sole constant in a town where residents Dr. Emmett Brown and his young protégée Marty McFly discovered how to span time as well! Looking back at those early days, Hill Valley may seem unrecognizable to its modern residents, but the foundations for the beloved town were already being laid. Hill Valley had a booming center of businesses at its heart; you could find anything from juicy steaks to fancy dry goods and fine cabinetry. Thirsty travelers could rustle up a beverage at the Palace Saloon (as long as that beverage happened to be whisky), while the finest horses could be bought, sold, or traded by “Honest” Joe Statler—the man who started one of the town’s longest-lasting family businesses.

Courthouse Mall 75 Underground Shops

The abundance of then-modern conveniences made Hill Valley a favored destination for pioneers, but getting there wasn’t quite as simple, as the town was surrounded by desert for miles. Traveling by horse was dangerous, and stagecoaches were frequently robbed by notorious outlaws like Buford “Mad Dog” Tannen and his gang. The safest form of travel by far was the wood-fired train, the Locomotive 131, that ran through town—unless that train happened to be commandeered for a science experiment, raced three miles down Carson Spur, and hurtled to the bottom of the Shonash Ravine. Fortunately, however, trains to and from Hill Valley usually ran without incident and arrived right on time. As the years (and decades) went by, Hill Valley grew from a rustic pioneer settlement to an idyllic American small town. By 1955, Courthouse Square was cemented as the heart of the town with mainstays like the Essex Theater, Roy’s Records, and Hal’s Bike Shop. The Palace Saloon had long-since given way to Lou’s Cafe, a popular diner frequented by a growing population of squeaky-clean allAmerican teens. Meanwhile, the Statler family had evolved from horses to horsepower, adjusting their business to the times to sell the latest and greatest automobiles. Like its businesses, the town itself was booming. By then Hill Valley had broadened beyond the confines of its familiar city center, with new housing

It’s not like I’ve done it all on my own, though! I’ve had my friends and family with me pretty much every step of the way. You know what?

CENTAURS

INTRODUCTION Wizards and Muggles may get most of the focus in the Harry Potter films, but the wizarding world wouldn’t be nearly as enchanting without the myriad of fantastic beasts that dwell within it. The origins of all these on-screen magical creatures—from giants and merpeople to Grindylows and Hippogriffs—can be traced back to creature effects designer Nick Dudman and his team.

“I never seen the Centaurs so riled! And they’re dangerous at the best of times.” —HAGRID, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

PAGES 38–39: A painting of the Centaurs in the Forbidden Forest by Adam Brockbank, for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

PIG ’N A POKE “Hey, Tuesday!” Dean says, looking at the wall of specials in the diner: “Pig

’n a Poke.” He orders it with a side of bacon and coffee, and then orders it again and again, as he and Sam repeat the same day. While Dean eats and eats, Sam tries to break the Trickster’s cycle and find a way to rescue his brother from getting killed over and over in the time loop. This twist on Dean’s “Mystery Spot” breakfast takes the side of bacon and incorporates it into the main event: sausages, wrapped in pancakes, then wrapped in bacon. Top them with good maple syrup for the ultimate sweet and savory breakfast combination—no mystery about it.

• 8 Heavenly Pancakes (page 11) • 8 breakfast sausage links • 8 slices bacon • Maple syrup for serving

P R EP TI ME:

10 minutes COOK TI ME:

10 minutes YI EL D:

4 servings

1. Prepare the pancakes according to the recipe directions, and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. 2. Brown the sausages and bacon over medium heat in a large skillet, making sure the bacon is still flexible and isn’t too crispy. Remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. 3. Wrap a sausage in a pancake, then wrap the pancake in a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Serve with maple syrup.

MARY’S PIGGLY WIGGLY MEATLOAF Mary Winchester wasn’t exactly a traditional mother to Sam and Dean growing up, but the boys did have a few happy memories of sharing home-cooked meals with her. That is, until they found out that her signature meatloaf came from the local grocery store. Moist and flavorful, this is the kind of meatloaf that’s so good you’ll want to make it over and over again. The mushroom gravy isn’t strictly necessary, but it’s worth the extra work. The best part is that there won’t be any grocery store packaging to hide.

ROWENA’S POTION Rowena isn’t just the most powerful witch in the world—she’s also the best dressed. This potion might not have any magical powers, but it does pack quite a punch. A riff on a New York sour that uses Scotch to honor Rowena’s heritage, this drink has a float of red wine that swirls through the rest of the glass, making for an entrancing show. Actually, maybe it does have a magical power after all: It will make you come back for more time and time again.

Panforte

Chicken Parmigiana

Panforte means “strong bread,” and just like the strong men in the Godfather movies, it is spicy, yet sweet, a little dense, dark, rich, and very intense. Traditionally served at Christmas, panfortes are often made and given as gifts to close friends. 1. Grease a 7 ¾-inch round, springform pan with a little softened butter and line the base with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 300°F. 2. Mix together the figs, prunes, nuts and peel. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, spices, and pepper over the fruit and nut mixture and fold to combine. 3. Melt the chocolate either in short bursts in a microwave, stirring between bursts, or in a bowl suspended over a saucepan of simmering water. Set aside. 4. Place the sugar and honey into a medium saucepan and cook over lowmedium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and simmer without stirring until the mixture reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount immediately forms a ball when a dropped into cold water. 5. Pour the hot sugar mixture into the dry mix. Add the melted chocolate and mix everything together with a wooden spoon. Work quickly as the mixture will harden as it cools. 6. Spoon into your prepared pan and press the top with a spatula to compact and smooth the surface. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until just

Chicken parmigiana is an iconic dish featured on almost every Italian restaurant menu in America. It is not a traditional Italian dish, rather another Italian-American creation inspired by the Sicilian dish eggplant parmigiana, where discs of eggplant are breaded and topped with sauce and cheese. Perhaps migrant restaurant owners, wanting to appeal to American customers who generally preferred meat dishes to vegetables, came up with the recipe to improve business. Because as we all know, you do what you gotta do for the family business. You can substitute veal for the chicken if you like. Simply follow the recipe to make the FamilyStyle Chicken Cutlets (page 123), using thin slices of veal instead.

Allow the panforte to cool completely, then run a sharp knife around the edge to free it from the sides of the pan. Carefully take it out of the pan, remove the base and parchment paper, and dust liberally all over with powdered sugar. If it’s still a little soft, refrigerate until firm. The panforte is ready to eat now, but the flavor improves the longer it sits. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. 8.

Through his stunning photography—at once mysterious and ethereal—Rainier takes us on a continent-spanning survey of the practice of veiling one face with another—from the masks used in scarification rituals in Burkina Faso to Bön Buddhist masks long hidden away in a Bhutanese monastery. Accompanying the striking images are a foreword by renowned essayist Pico Iyer and stories recounting Rainier’s journeys to the remote reaches of the earth to preserve the memory of these ancient objects of beauty and power and the cultures that produced them. Rainier, a National Geographic explorer and photographer, has dedicated his life to preserving cultural heritage. Through his lens, we see an awe-inspiring portrayal of the rich cultural diversity our world still has to offer.

WILD ELEPHANTS

Conservation in the Age of Extinction

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ART WOLFE TEXT BY SAMUEL WASSER INTRODUCTION BY JEFFREY MOUSSAIEFF MASSON

In Wild Elephants, Art Wolfe seeks to capture on camera just what makes elephants so special and so worth saving.

Legendary for their size and intelligence, elephants are one of the most charismatic of megafauna. That they are under siege from poachers is no secret, and the rapidity of their declining numbers is horrifying. But amid the steady stream of bad news, all is not lost. Ivory prices are declining, global education seems to be succeeding, and recent government crackdowns are beginning to stem the flow of illegal ivory. While Wild Elephants features photographs of both African and Asian species, the emphasis is on the African savanna elephant, or bush elephant. Samuel Wasser’s informative text will focus on his current groundbreaking research on the impacts of the illegal ivory trade and the legal but controversial culling practices used for population control of this highly intelligent, social species. Wild Elephants is a celebration of these wondrous gentle giants and the renewed efforts countries are taking to protect their natural heritage, as well as a discussion of how we can empower local populations to safeguard a magnificent species. 88

HUMAN CANVAS PHOTOGRAPHY BY ART WOLFE FORWORD BY CHRIS RAINIER

Human Canvas combines Art Wolfe’s world-famous photography with his exquisite painting to create a groundbreaking collection of body art.

What does it mean to be human? In Human Canvas, Art Wolfe uses his exceptional photography and his background in fine-art painting to transform skin into an abstract landscape. Inspired by the body-painting traditions of indigenous peoples Wolfe has photographed worldwide, and particularly those in Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea, Wolfe set out to present his own take on this art form and explore concepts of universal beauty. Through the use of lines, patterns, textures, and unusual points of view, Wolfe abstracts the human form and creates a unique and captivating look of the human body as art. The result is an energized expression of both artistic mastery and cultural impact. Over his expansive career, Wolfe has traveled to every continent. He has ventured from 19,000-foot heights on Mount Everest to the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia, 410 feet below sea level, as well as deep into sacred lands on the Tibetan Plateau,

PETER: I first heard about mycoremediation through Paul Stamets’ book, Mycelium Running. I read it when I was about 20 and discovered that there was more to mushrooms than even their ecological importance or cultivating them for food and medicine. That got my mind in a whirl and took me in many directions that I’ve pursued since. DANIEL: I heard about mycoremediation for the first time after watching Paul Stamets’ Ted Talk, “Six Ways that Mushrooms Can Save the World.” I was actually coming back from working on an oil spill. Not long after watching that video I bought a flow hood, a pressure cooker, and set up my own Mycology lab.

Damage to both the land and its peoples has been extensive. While various groups continue to fight the company in court over repatriation and clean-up costs and responsibilities, the Amazon Mycorenewal Project (now called CoRenewal), founded in 2010, has brought together a team of experts, activists, and local tribes to research, design, and implement biological solutions using the remedial power of fungi. Pilot projects are underway addressing both petroleum-contaminated soils and municipal wastewater contaminants while the organization continues to study the capacity of native microbes to mitigate petroleum toxicity with plans for a fungal research laboratory and mushroom cultivation space.

TH E WOOD W I D E W E B M ERLIN SH ELDR AKE

’m sitting on a log that was once was a tree. It probably became infected by a disease and fell over. And when it did, fungi infested the log to decompose it. Coming out of the bottom of these fungi are mycelium, tiny little threads of organic life. There are literally thousands of miles of mycelium infesting this one big log here; along its length the mycelium sends out enzymes and different organic acids that decay the wood. In the process of decaying the wood, the wood releases the nutrients that are in it. Those nutrients then become available to the fungus itself and to other organisms that are part of the food web. Without this process, the planet would choke. This forest would be miles deep in organic decay. The only reason we can walk around in these woods is because thousands of species of these fungi are decaying different sizes and species of logs as well as the litter on the forest floor. Once the log starts to decay and release some nutrients, other organisms such as mites and nematodes move in and start eating the fungus, small bits of leftover wood, and other organic material, which they then exude. Some of that ends up in the nutrient cycle, but then other critters like springtails or spiders come along and eat the nematodes, and then other creatures eat the springtails and spiders, and so it goes up the food chain to larger and larger organisms, even these mushrooms, which themselves are food for squirrels. The squirrel becomes part of that food chain, and eventually something will eat the squirrel—maybe a bird, maybe a bear—so it’s all linked back to that original wood-decomposing fungus. In all ecosystems, death and decay are the fundamental beginning of life. If a forest never goes through this process, it can’t regenerate. It gets crowded with big trees, leaving little room for young ones because there are no gaps for them. There’s no light, no water, no nutrients because they’re all getting sucked up by the big trees. Decay organisms like fungus are crucial for starting that process of regeneration. They are the building blocks of the ecosystem, the fundamental starting place for how a forest grows. DIRECTIONAL DIRECTIONAL

ungi are fascinating because they can do things that other organisms can’t do. They can digest things that other things can’t digest. They don’t need sex to reproduce. They’re metabolically ingenious. They can “cross over” and share genetic information with other fungi, like meeting someone and saying, “Oh, I like the way you play the piano. I’ll have that,” and then just acquiring that trait. They confuse normal systems of taxonomy, which makes it hard for them to be categorized and ordered but also quite fun to think about them. Because of all this there’s a a lot yet to be discovered about fungi so there’s a sense of excitement when beginning to do work in fungal fields. There’s a broad type of fungus known as mycorrhizal fungi. They’re called mycorrhizal because they relate to plant roots. “Myco” means fungus and “rhiza / rhizal” means roots, so “root fungus.” They grow very intimately into and around plant roots and extend outward into the soil. They provide nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen to plants that have trouble getting them on their own in exchange for sugars that the fungus can’t make or can’t make easily by itself. Mycorrhizal fungi are very ancient and nearly all plants have formed some kind of relationship with them.1 They’re thought to be responsible for helping plants make it onto land in the very first instance 400 million years ago when plants were free-floating photosynthetic organisms in the sea.2 They would wash up onto the shore in these inter-tidal zones and begin to photosynthesize, making energy from light and carbon dioxide, but they weren’t so good at absorbing nutrients from the rock substrate they found themselves on. Fortunately, there were fungi growing around these rocks that could digest some of the substrate, and the two began a relationship that still stands, exchanging minerals for sugars. A lot of people compare mycorrhizal networks to the internet but there are some big differences. First of all, mycorrhizal networks consist of interactions between trees and fungi and the question is, Do the trees connect the fungi together or do the fungi connect the trees together? Are you a myco-centrist, someone who puts fungi in the middle, or a phyto-centrist, someone who puts plants in the middle? These are all very live questions right now. The internet, by comparison, connects human agents with hardware via wires. These connections are passive. They are not, of themselves, living creatures with agency. With fungal networks, the connections are living. Either a tree is actively connecting to a fungi or a fungus is connecting to trees. The system is much more complicated than the internet because you have agents connecting agents connecting agents. The internet likeness makes sense on a superficial level but fungal networks are much more complex and interesting. DIRECTIONAL

This phrase “the wood wide web” is a helpful one because it communicates an idea of connected organisms very quickly. In Panama I was studying these plants called mycoheterotrophs, which are unlike normal plants because they don’t have chlorophyll which means they don’t photosynthesize. The question is, “Well, how do they survive?” because photosynthesis is how plants produce energy from light and carbon dioxide. We found that these plants don’t produce their own energy at all; they plug into fungal networks and acquire sugars and nutrients from other plants via the fungi.3 Conventional plants in the wood wide web would be feeding things into the network and receiving things back from the fungi. These plants don’t do that, which is why I jokingly call them “hackers.” It’s a great example of the many ways that different plants and fungi behave within these networks. These are multivalent, complex systems with as many unique ways of engagement as we can imagine. Importantly, the relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and plants is generally thought of as mutualistic, where both partners benefit, although there are times when one plant or fungal partner might be getting more than the other, so it’s flexible, it’s fluid. When we think about these exchanges, the question comes up of what governs them. How are these exchange between plants and fungi regulated, controlled, and negotiated? Because humans tend to project their own ideas on to the natural world, some use “biological market” theories to explain them. These are based on capitalist market frameworks using concepts like commodities and terms of trade. Others are more charitable and grant more generosity to the players, describing them as caregivers who donate to and feed those who don’t have enough—a traditionally more socialist framework. All well and good but they are still human-sourced and don’t replace the fact that we don’t yet have a sophisticated understanding of how these fungal networks are behaving that may not reflect a human framework. It’s another reason why mycology is fascinating and not just to academics. I meet lots of people who are naturally interested in fungi and are very keen to discuss them. Many of my peers and young people I know are also concerned with issues of environmental degradation and see mycology and areas like environmental regeneration as solutions. Certainly they are hot topics and so those who are interested in sustainable futures might be drawn to fungi. There are no end of unanswered questions about fungi which makes working in fields of science or investigation a lot of fun. The field is more open. There’s plenty of room for inquiry.

All journeys have a beginning, but I’m not sure they have an end. For me, the beginning is a response to land, to place, to mysteries that require form and voice. Then shapes emerge in my sketchbooks. One of my earliest sketches shows a boy who, in a sense, represents both me and you. He finds himself in a Froudian world where everything is sentient. He travels through a land that has consciousness and where trolls and faeries speak with the voice of the earth itself.

aeries are spirits of place, and a place of real enchantment for me is Venice, especially in the misty winter at night, when all of the narrow alleyways are dark and empty, echoing back your footsteps. It is like a faerie labyrinth. Each new step, every turned corner, may get us lost. At the same time, each turn may present a revelation, gaining us insight into a landscape redolent with emotion and meaning. In this world of twists and turns, where are we really? What spirits haunt these crumbling walls

and turning avenues? Well, here are two folk of the sinking city I found and painted. Rox is the spirit of Venice itself—lionlike of course, damp and sodden, with a streaming cold. And his handkerchief has had enough! When the plague came to Venice they whitewashed everything— the floors, the walls, the furniture—in an attempt to disinfect and purify. Bueboe is a little whitewasher faerie. The plague is long gone, but this is his designated job and no one has officially told him to stop— so on he goes, whitewashing everything!

SET LIST: (Sample from December 31, 1976) “Bastille Day” “Anthem” “Lakeside Park” 2112 (all parts except “Oracle: The Dream”) AUGUST 8, 1976 ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA ERIE VETERANS MEMORIAL STADIUM, Academy High School campus, 148 West 21st Street. Venue built in 1924. OPENED FOR: The Doobie Brothers (backed by the Memphis Horns); Heart was slated as opener. TICKETS: $6.50 (advance) / $7.50 (day of), general admission ATTENDANCE: 12,000 CONCERT GROSS: $80,000 NOTES: “The largest sound system and stage ever in Erie.” Doors 12:30 p.m.; show time 2:00 p.m. (although the event didn’t actually start until after 3:00 p.m.). Promoters, hoping for a throng of twenty thousand, ended up losing money as their target attendance didn’t materialize. A young Jon Bon Jovi was in the crowd—his very first concert experience. Because of a threat of storms (though it never actually rained), the Doobies took the stage first, forcing the opening act, Heart, to close out the gig. ERIE TIMES: “Doobie Concert Reversed: The Doobie Brothers simply walked onstage and with no introduction or explanation given, began playing, leaving the estimated crowd of 13,000 to guess what was going on. Rush [special guests] was next in line. Rush often played short explosive passages, which at times resembled the sound of heavy construction, and seemed more preoccupied with jolting the listener than anything else.” AUGUST 12, 1976 LAKE OKOBOJI, IOWA NOTES: This date is not in SRO’s records and is unconfirmed, though it is corroborated by several crew members. IAN: “It (the gig) was just a fairly small beach house. Skip and I got to take a swim.”

TICKETS: $5.00 (advance) / $6.00 (day of) CAPACITY: 4,246 NOTES: This date is not in SRO’s records but is corroborated by an advertisement. However, based on fan accounts, Rush ended up not performing. WILL KASTENS (BLUE OYSTER CULT FAN): “There were only a few hundred attending, no formal seating—just open floor. Most of the auditorium lights stayed on while Point Blank opened. The audience generally ignored them while playing frisbee or milling about. It was clear that the crowd was there for Blue Oyster Cult and Rush. Then it was announced that Rush had canceled and anyone could get a full refund if they left right then. I saw maybe a dozen people leave.”1

KNOCKOUT: THE ART OF BOXING BY KEN REGAN INTRODUCTION BY LIAM NEESON AFTERWORD BY BUDD SCHULBERG COMMENTARY BY NORMAN MAILER FOREWORD BY MUHAMMAD ALI

Chronicling the legacy of boxing’s biggest names— including the great Muhammad Ali—and their impact on “the sweet science,” Knockout: The Art of Boxing pays tribute to Ken Regan’s incomparable photography and coverage of the sport. Ken Regan was a young photographer in 1964 when he covered Muhammad Ali’s first fight: his historic victory over Sonny Liston in Miami Beach. Afterward, the young photographer embarked on a lifelong love affair with the sport of boxing. For the next four decades, Regan chronicled the greatest fights and fighters of the age. His extraordinary photographs include many of the most enduring images in boxing history, as well as portraits of notable trainers, managers, promoters, writers, and the panoply of celebrities associated with the sport. Featuring some of the greatest ring action in boxing history, Knockout takes us from sparring sessions and press conferences to weigh-ins and postfight sessions. Knockout also features Regan’s compelling firsthand account of his amazing photographic journey into the heart of boxing. With black-and-white and color photography that captures the art of boxing in its purest form, Knockout is one of the most celebrated books ever published on the sport and a fitting tribute to “the Greatest” boxer of all time, Muhammad Ali. 96

New York, New York, MarcH 4, 1968

DECIDED TO FOLLOW Joe once during his regular morning run in the park—I think it was before the first Ali fight. Unlike Ali, who hated to get up in the morning, Joe was out there before sunrise, when the roads were empty and the air was clear and crisp. I was in a car. It was the only way I could keep up with him, obviously. I couldn’t believe what happened next—someone tried to mug him. This guy jumped out of the bushes, and Joe said, “Hey, man, do you know who I am? I’m Joe Frazier!” About that time, his bodyguard jumped out of the car, and the guy ran away. It was so much fun to work with Joe. He appreciated the fact that a magazine was interested in him and he respected the work I was doing. I shot him posing with his four or five cars, driving his motorcycle and rehearsing with his soul band, Joe Frazier and the Knockouts. A real family man, Joe would play with his kids, throwing them on the back of the motorcycle while his wife watched. Joe enjoyed his life. I respected Joe’s talent. There are always four or five guys who you know have just got something the first time you see them fight. Joe had that look. Through the years, I photographed his fights against Buster Mathis, Jimmy Ellis, George Foreman and, of course, all three against Ali. In 1968, during Ali’s brief absence from professional boxing, Joe fought Mathis, who once had been a big Olympic prospect. Joe was his sparring partner at the time, and during a training session in

Tokyo, Mathis broke his finger and Joe ended up replacing him in the Olympics. Four years later, they met as professionals and Mathis was ready to kick Joe’s butt, but Joe defeated him by knockout in the eleventh round. Mathis was like a big blob and didn’t seem to be in good shape, although he did knock Joe down. After Joe won, he was like a little kid, leaping in the air, jumping up and down. At Madison Square Garden on February 16, 1970, Joe finally won the world heavyweight title with a fifth-round knockout of Jimmy Ellis. Before Frazier’s first fight against Muhammad Ali, in 1971, a promotional event was staged to celebrate the birthdays of both men. Since Joe was born on January 12 and Muhammad on the 17th, Ali arranged a big party in New York. Of course, the press was invited to see the two men blowing out the candles on a big cake and hamming it up for the cameras. Ali even “fought” with a midget hired for the event. Most of the time when Ali and Frazier were in the same place, it was much more tense, of course. Ali would taunt Joe, calling him “The Gorilla,” and Frazier was really insulted. Even today, I think he’s still angry about that. But Ali was a master of hype. He would do anything to promote a fight, whether it was getting into a wrestling fight on stage in front of Howard Cosell and rolling around on the floor or going to where Joe was training and trying to start something. Ali always made sure he had a lot of media around him. He knew exactly what he was doing.

and hobbies, your vehicles, your marriage, your children, your work and career. As you enjoy this trip down memory lane, start to think about your successes, the types of work and activities you did really well at, the projects you were really successful at, the roles that you held where you performed extraordinarily. Think of things you have been passionate about, and recurring themes of passionate work and activities throughout your personal story. After this exercise, start to write down those things that you were naturally drawn towards, and naturally good at that reoccurred throughout the various chapters in your life. You will create a list of activities, projects and work that you absolutely enjoyed doing, were naturally good at doing and you felt a sense of flow doing. If you have access to them, pull out your old report cards, your old job performance reviews and read through them. For once, don’t focus on the negative parts, only on the really positive parts. Ask some of your close friends, colleagues and partners about what they see as your gifts and talents. Add these things to your list. Then start to think through your present life and make a list of activities in your life that you enjoy, find a sense of wholeness doing them, and that you would naturally gravitate towards doing if you had all the time in the world. These activities could include things like problem solving, or writing or translating things or teaching or physical exercise. Now look at your entire inventory of activities that show up as an innate talent or passion that occur repeatedly in all the myriad roles, activities, projects, reviews, and circumstances in your life and start to look for common themes that are clues to the core of who you are. You should end up from this exercise with a list of 30-50 verbs and sentence fragments that comprise your talents, your nature, your values and what you enjoy passionately in life. You can use the list below to help prompt your own ideas and refresh your own memories if you get stuck.

Now look at your list and identify two categories of items. Assign an “A” to things that you look at and think, “Wow, that is absolutely me”, and assign a “B” to things that you look at and think “Yes, I do that, but only because I have to or, someone told me that I need to”. The “B” can also be assigned to things that you think you are “supposed to enjoy”, but deep-down inside, it doesn’t feel as satisfying as the “A” items. Now, brace yourself, this part can sometimes be emotionally cathartic. CROSS OUT all the “B” items, they do not serve you at your core. I have had multiple clients in tears doing this exercise realizing that they have spent their entire lives doing things that they were expected to, and convinced that they had to – and all of those things ended up in the category of “B” because “Yes someone indeed told me I needed to do that”. These are things that you say yes to, because it is an obligation, sort of interesting and fun, so you might as well do it, but overall they are energetically draining activities. This “B” category of items, though it passes the time, may earn you money, may fulfill your obligations, they take up time and energy and distract you from your own evolutionary journey.

company is so focused on a narrow part of their vision that they miss the broader forces at play. Don’t be so focused on making the best buggy-whip, when horse carriages are about to be replaced by automobiles. Set your vision, but don’t get so lost in the details of how you want it to show up, or so attached to it that you are not open to the different ways it may show up for you. For instance you may set a strong intention around having a job at a fast-growing technology startup but really deep down inside you just want a job that you feel excited and passionate about. So when a recruiter shows up in your life from a consumer goods company, you are not open to it because you were so fixated on the tech and startup part of your intention. Within that consumer goods company though, maybe even unbeknownst to the recruiter, might have been a new business group that you were being considered for that was exactly in line with your passions and need for excitement. In addition do not get too fixated on your definition of the outcome, do not get lost in your own daydream either and lose track of your immediate work and life. Vishvketu once told me a story of a villager who earned his money walking from his village with a clay pot on his head, filling it with water from a remote well, and walking back to the village to sell the water. One day as he was returning from the well with a full pot of water on his head, he started to imagine, how much more money he could make if the pot was filled with butter instead of water. Then he started to daydream about saving up to buy a cow, then milking the cow, then churning the milk, then buying more pots, then the cow having a baby, and then more milk being produced and more butter to churn, and all the butter he could potentially sell. Then in the middle of his daydream, he missed seeing a large stone in front of him, and he tripped over and dropped the water pot, and destroyed it. Now he had no water to sell, and no pot to carry it in! It is not good to lose track on our day-to-day work by being too obsessed

with our future. We have to balance our big audacious goals with our day-to-day existence. This concept of dharma is what sets the overall mission of your life and your choices. This starts to create a foundation of harmony for the other integrated parts of yoga. Knowing why you exist on this planet, understanding your innate gifts and talents and aligning your work, family and life around this clear sense of dharma helps set an intention that has the power to have a life of flow and success. Yoga is essentially a framework of techniques and philosophy to purify your body, mind and spirit in order to manifest your dharma more fully, and so, once your personal dharma becomes clearer to you, it will in turn energize your yoga practice. As you integrate the holistic aspects of yoga, with honoring your dharma, you will naturally become more receptive to the subtleties around you and start naturally gravitating to walking smoothly in the right direction, making the right connections and finding the right opportunities with a minimal of obstacles and turbulence.

SELLING POINTS • With one author emerging from business and the other with a yoga PhD, this book offers the right balance of familiar language and deep spirituality. • Existing yoga books target an audience that already practices yoga or can see themselves in a yoga studio. The Business Casual Yogi is for people who know little about yoga and may not identify with the “yoga crowd.” • Three hundred million people practice yoga worldwide, as of 2016. • The yoga industry is worth $16 billion, and the personal development industry $9.9 billion. This book targets an unexplored area of both markets and is guaranteed to attract followers of both as well as readers new to each.

NUBIA TEIXEIRA PHOTOGRAPHY BY

ANDREA BOSTON

Yoga and the Art of Mudras is a guided journey into the alchemy of asana (yoga pose) and mudra (symbolic hand gesture). Brazilianborn yogi, dancer, and author Nubia Teixeira has been practicing and teaching traditional yoga and classical Indian Odissi dance for over 26 years. In this book, she fuses her passion for yoga and dance with her love for bhakti (devotion). In so doing, she has created a unique and contemporary yoga system that encompasses all three healing arts. Through beautiful photographs of each yoga pose, Nubia guides the reader in a meaningful union of hand gestures with asanas. Drawing, in particular, on expressions and hand gestures found in Indian dance, these newly developed poses will help transform a person’s hatha yoga practice into an embodied devotional and artistic yogic experience. Nubia’s yoga-mudra system combines expressions that are deeply rooted in the heart of traditional yoga, classical Indian Odissi dance, and inspirational bhakti yoga storytelling. Honoring the gifts of all three systems, Nubia shares a beautiful and truly original voyage into the heart of devotional yoga practice. 104

This is a storytelling asana. Like his father, Shiva, Ganesha is also depicted as a dancer and a musician. While dancing, Ganesha plays his drum, the dolak, and in ecstasy he celebrates life with his

devotees. Because Ganesha has traveled into the realm of death, after his father Shiva initiated him in the mysteries of dying, Ganesha knows how life is precious and takes any opportunity he has to celebrate life. Stand tall with your feet together, like in the mountain pose. Open your feet out as you begin to bend your knees. Now, transfer the weight of your body to your left foot while moving your right foot forward, opening your right knee out and pointing your right foot to the earth. If you were looking at this shape sideways, you would see that the right leg is on a three-dimensional plane. This is to accommodate the drum on your lap. Stay still and stand joyfully in this asana.

TRANSCENDENCE

Finding Peace at the End of Life BY J. PHILLIP JONES

FINDING PEACE AT THE

END OF LIFE J. PhilliP Jones FINDING PEACE AT THE END OF LIFE

Transcendence gently guides readers through the experiences that surround death through

J. PhilliP Jones

the lens of Eastern philosophy and the author’s own experience as a hospice counselor.

All of us die, and most of us are called upon to support loved ones or friends in dying or in grieving a death. We wonder about the nature of this universal phenomenon: Is dying only an uninvited tragedy or can it also be seen as a rite of passage? Can one’s end-of-life journey be a time of finding inner peace, completion, and even growth? Transcendence views life as a pilgrimage culminating in the Great Transition at death. Rather than fearing our end, it invites us to reach once more for personal and spiritual growth in our sacred journey. Drawing on insights from the ancient sages of India as well as modern hospice experiences, the author explores a spiritual art of dying as the last and most powerful rite of passage. The Mandala Wisdom Series is an introductory collection on Eastern wisdom and spirituality, providing readers with the tools to enhance their health and well-being.

TRANSCENDENCE: FINDING PEACE AT THE END OF LIFE

Namaste,

minimize the use of mind-numbing drugs, if possible. And, most importantly, he or she is advised to pass away in the highest state of consciousness possible by cultivating detachment from earthly life and the body while attaching to the soul and God. The Moment of Death

you are not familiar with sacred chants, see appendix A for Vedic mantras that may be used as a spiritual practice as death draws near.

ccording to Vedic teachings, one’s consciousness during the last breath of life determines the soul’s destination. To breathe our last in a high state of consciousness is therefore very important. Of course, our last thoughts will mainly be determined by the thoughts and deeds of our entire lifetime. We are unlikely to have noble thoughts at the moment of death if we have lived a life of brutality and vice. Through spiritual practice during our life, however, we are able to depart the world in high consciousness. In modern times, Mahatma Gandhi’s departure exemplified this concept. When Gandhi was shot, the last word from his mouth was a name of God (“Rama”). Gandhi was raised by his grandmother to always meditate on God’s name as a spiritual practice, and he successfully left the world with God’s name on his lips. King Pariksit’s death in ancient times and Gandhi’s death in the twentieth century are reminders to us that anyone can successfully transit death by meditating on divine names at the end of life. The scriptures teach that the names of God are unlimited and all-powerful. Not only the Vedic texts but also many other scriptures recommend chanting or meditating on sacred sound vibrations as one departs the world. This is the last and most important task for the dying person, according to ancient and modern Vedic teachers. If you believe that you or a loved one is approaching death, consider these last tasks to be time-tested ways to prepare for a good dying process and a powerful and successful departure. If 44

CHAPTER 2: DYING IN HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS

It is never too late to shine the light of wisdom on our human mortality and our divine immortality. Indeed, during the nearing-death period even more accessible and abundant grace is available to realize the peace, wisdom, and love that can make our Great Transition a powerful rite of passage.

IGINAL THE OR OUTTAKE

ALL OVER THE NEWS! FIRST PAYCHECK!!!!

MAKING HEADLINES One thing heroes don’t really talk about much is money. (Well, heroes not named Tony Stark, that is.) It’s important to do what we do, of course, but a lot of us are just barely getting by. (Again, Tony’s doing fine.) You see, Spider-Man was always on call when danger arose, but when I wasn’t out fighting crime, I was still living my life as Peter Parker. And Peter Parker had bills to pay. I couldn’t ask people to give me money for saving them. That would be bad. It would be wrong to even consider it. I maybe considered it for two seconds. What? I was broke! I had to save up for college, help Aunt May make ends meet, and maybe hold on to enough money so that, once I mustered up the courage, I could take Gwen Stacy out on a date. Being a super hero did not make that easy. I was never going to make money being Spider-Man, so it was time to figure out a way to make a living being Peter Parker. I had to take a job where I wasn’t working a full day’s shift. I needed something where I could pop in and then leave as soon as someone needed Spider-Man’s help. Working at a restaurant? Nope. Movie theater clerk? Can’t do it. Barista? No way. By the time I finished making your double-shot, five-pump vanilla caramel macchiato, the city would be taken over by the Sinister Six. You’d have an excellent caffeinated beverage, but we’d all have big problems. So, I began working as a photographer for the Daily Bugle, a local newspaper. I quickly learned that my boss, J. Jonah Jameson, was obsessed with Spider-Man. He saw SpiderMan as a menace to the city, decency, the world at large, and

About that radioactive spider . . . Besides getting me good grades, my science geek side has also gotten me into a lot of trouble. It all started when I was at an science exhibit that included that good ol’ radioactive spider. It was just my luck that, on that particular day, I happened to be the student that the spider bit. Not exactly a “chosen one” situation. I wasn’t given an object of great power by a dying alien or granted the gift of mystical powers by birthright. I wasn’t chosen for a strange scientific experiment or exposed to intense radiation after saving someone else’s life. My powers weren’t earned or taken by force. They happened to me. On good days, I wonder if maybe they were a gift from the universe. Maybe I’m meant to be Spider-Man. But mostly, I think it was just dumb luck. That’s okay too. Because that means I’m the one who chose to become Spider-Man. And every day, I make the choice to continue to be Spider-Man. Not because I’m a chosen one. Not because anyone else decided I should be a super hero. I do it just because I’m me. Okay, getting carried away with myself here. Let’s talk spider bites.

ACTUAL SPIDER

probably puppies. Every day, if someone so much as brought up Spider-Man, the boss would go into a rant, demanding another article condemning the masked web-slinger. This guy was completely paranoid! He also paid a lot more for SpiderMan photos than he did for any others. You wouldn’t judge me if I told you I began to regularly take pictures of myself in costume for the newspaper, would you, journal? Hey, a guy has to make a living. Even though the Bugle was anti-Spider-Man, it put the word out on the street. Like they say, there’s no such thing as bad press. Right or wrong, the Bugle told the world that SpiderMan had arrived—and he wasn’t going away!

FRONT PAGE!

SPIDER-MEN

RADIOACTIVE SPIDER

Normally, spider bites leave you with nothing but some redness, a little swelling, and maybe increased arachnophobia. Okay, some might kill you, but those aren’t usually from spiders found in Queens. Personally, I’ve never been scared of spiders, but I get the fear. People used to assume I was a bad guy because so many people are terrified of spiders that they couldn’t imagine a guy named Spider-Man was out there saving lives. Anyway, spider bites wouldn’t normally be a big deal, but I was worried about the radioactive part. Was I about to grow ears out of my cheeks? Would my blood turn to acid overnight? I didn’t have to wait long to find out. In my case . . . well, let’s just say I began to exhibit abilities that you’d call spiderlike. I mean, they don’t call me Spider-Man because I have eight legs, after all. That’s a different guy. We’ll get to him later. (Spoiler alert: total jerk.) Before I knew it, I was able to stick to walls, hang from ceilings, detect danger through my spider-sense, and run fast. Really fast. Best of all, my strength was through the roof. I could lift things that weighed tons. If I had reason to—not that I thought I ever would—I could throw a car. (Another spoiler: I would eventually have reason to throw a car, and it felt astounding.) Suddenly, I was a super hero.

STICK TO WALLS HANG FROM CEILINGS DETECT DANGER RUN FAST RUN REALLY FAST SUPER STRONG 8 LEGS

It’s crazy to think I’ve been to other planets. But that’s nothing compared to the fact that I’ve been to other Earths. That’s right: Earths. Plural. Turns out there’s more than one. Everything around us, everything we see, is just one version of how things could’ve happened. Does that make sense? Let me dial back a little bit and explain. Very recently, I met the most amazing young man. His name is Miles Morales. People on his Earth know him as SpiderMan. So, imagine this. There is a world mostly like ours, with differences that begin as insignificant but spread out until all of those differences have created an entirely new reality. It’s like the story of that butterfly that flaps its wings, leading to a monsoon on the other side of the world. Just that tiny little gust of wind can grow into something that has a major impact on us all. In this specific reality, Peter Parker existed. Take everything you know about me up until now and keep it. Most of it happened there. I got bitten by a radioactive spider, I battled the Green Goblin, I fought alongside some of the greatest heroes to ever walk this or any other planet. But the big difference is that one fateful day, the Peter Parker from that world faced off against Norman Osborn and fell defending those he loved. From there on out, the world was totally different. Anyway, I couldn’t believe what led me to this other Earth.. It was Mysterio. Kind of impressive for a guy with a fishbowl on his head, no? The villain had opened a rift in space and time. When I went to find out what he was doing, he got the best of me. Before I knew it, I was careening through the fabric of reality. I awoke in the world where Peter Parker had fallen to protect his friends and family, only to discover that a kid named Miles had picked up the mantle of Spider-Man to honor the legacy of the man who had done it first. It was a trip meeting another Spider-Man, and it was even stranger learning about this world that was just like mine, but not quite. Miles figured out how to get me back to my reality, and together, he and I went on an incredible adventure that showed me that when a hero falls, someone new will always step up to fill their place. Kind of like what happens with villains. But with us heroes, it’s a legacy thing. There will always be good people who are ready and willing to accept the responsibility of being a hero.

For every Green Goblin, there is a Spider-Man to stand up to him. You can count on that. Miles Morales would eventually wind up in my neck of the woods. He made his way to my reality and stayed here, even joining the Avengers along with Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) for an all-new team. It turns out our worlds are both big enough for two Spider-Men.

His next find was more of a challenge. HOT BATH, it said. 10 CENTS. He wrestled it from the side of a building and smiled at the cowboy inside.

Arriving at a narrow mountain pass, Sasquatch sat down to review the day’s finds. A carriage approached with children inside, so he waved, smiled, and crooned a few words he thought they’d like. This time the reply was prompt.

AUUUUGH

SASQUATCH!

“Hel-hello,” Sasquatch said in his very best people voice. “Hot bath, peas?” He waited for the man to reply, but as eager as he was to have his first conversation, the timing wasn’t right.

The carriage veered, sending a trunk toppling to the ground. Sasquatch gathered it up, clapped it closed, and raced after them. He had no words for, “Wait, I have your trunk!” so he shouted something like

Potato!

Just then, Sasquatch’s foot hit a fallen rock, and he went tumbling over an embankment, falling

down, down, down into Old Kemp Creek.

Q: Does your work go through a lot of revisions? A: Many, many, many, especially later on in life. I use tracing paper to adjust the size and the movement of things. So if there’s a central figure and that’s the important thing, I shall draw it on a piece of paper and then lay the tracing paper over it and then lengthen the leg or tie the leg back or forward or sideways, turn the head this way and that way. Then once I get something that I think is what I want, I’ll scan it, take it into Photoshop and look at it, and if I feel like it, I’ll stretch a few things. Or move stuff around, because I’ll go, “That arm is just not right. I don’t know what’s wrong.” And then once that is done, I print it out, put tracing paper over it, and trace it so that it’s exactly right, and then keep layering the stuff. So I end up with twenty to thirty pieces of tracing paper, depending on how complex the piece is. Q: Are your pencils quite loose? A: They’re lined. I generally don’t render [add shading and texture]. I just get the shapes down at the pencil stage. If it’s going to be a full-blown pen drawing that’s going to be printed in black and white and I know I want to have the beautiful old fashioned linework in it, I’ll suggest which direction the lines should go in with pencil. I can’t go in and slavishly draw the lines that will be there because then they would become dead lines.

Q: Do you have a typical working day? A: I have times when I work. When I am working, I just work until I am tired. So then I go to sleep and wake up again and work until I am tired. And the clock is turned around because I really don’t have many commitments outside the house. But when I am just in one of those moods, nothing gets done, and I feel after two or three weeks that I have wasted time I wish I had. But whatever I was not doing at the time was what I was supposed to be doing. I know that now. I am old enough to know that there are tides in this career. But I learned years ago, from watching Bernie Wrightson work, that if you really want to get something done, you wake up and you go to work. You don’t get the coffee; you don’t answer the emails. You just start working. And you can work for an hour, and you can go and do anything and come back to work. But if you wait—if I wait—then it’s possible that I won’t start until 10 p.m., even if I got up in the morning. So there are no office hours exactly. Q: So you draw when the muse takes you, basically? A: The need is because somebody wants me to get it done timewise, but the better need is when I need to draw, when I have to draw because it’s inside me. It’s bursting to get out, and that’s when I’ve started on a project I could have been ambivalent about, even. But once the pencil hits the paper and I start interacting between myself and the paper, then I can hardly go to sleep because I want to see what happens next. There’s a reveal that happens. I don’t have anything in my mind that I want to draw. I have an idea of what I want to draw, and then the pencil will take me toward that. Sometimes I demand, “Okay, this thing’s got to have this kind of a wing or that kind of a feather or this kind of ocean or whatever.” But if it turns out to not work with the picture by the time I get to it, then I’d be untrue to the picture if I forced this old idea into where it’s going. One of the reasons my art looks the way it does is because I do give the art a whole lot of leeway. Q: So you work fairly instinctively as an artist? A: I give my work a whole lot of room. I think twice in my life I had a picture in mind and I drew it. A couple of other times I started pictures where I knew how I wanted them to go, and they went that way. To some people, they’re some of the best pictures I have ever done, but I thought, “I wasn’t surprised. It came out just like I thought it would.” Five or ten years after I did them, I did think they were pretty good. But at the time I thought that they needed something else because it wasn’t a back-and-forth; it was the artist making the work. So I had no way to judge that at the time.

Q: What is in your studio? A: I have a really beautiful library, so I use that for reference a lot. But I don’t use reference [material] that much. I tend to draw from memory, so I don’t have things like sculptures in my studio. Sometimes, depending on the project, I will bring some reference, like Batgirl’s outfit. I would stick that in front of me so that while I am working I have it there, so I can check to make sure it’s all right. Q: What is your routine for drawing interior pages for a comic book job? A: I try to lay out the pages first. I get a script and I read it all and I try to lay out as much as I can. But I usually work in batches. So in a day I can lay out seven or ten pages. And then once I have it all laid out like a whole issue, I don’t really ink them in order. Q: What are your pencils like? A: They are very loose. I am working digitally on the pencils now, but I still ink traditionally. I do a lot of layouts digitally, so it’s much easier for me to resize things. If I have to make something bigger or smaller, or change the composition, I have much more control. That speeds things up a lot. All I ever do are loose layouts, setting up the composition and storytelling. My drawing comes to life in the inking. Q: Do you draw a sequential job in sequence? A: I try to take the pages I like the most first, and then probably the hardest. The most boring pages I leave for the end. That’s how it’s been working.

BUYAN

The Isle of the Dead WRITTEN BY MARTIN ETXEBERRIA AND XABIER ETXEBERRIA ILLUSTRATED BY ARITZ TRUEBA

Set in the midst of the Mongolian invasion of medieval Russia, Buyan tells a powerful story of love and loss as one man embarks on a dangerous quest, fighting his way though soldiers, spirits, and even ancient gods in a desperate attempt to be reunited with his wife. The grandson of Genghis Khan, Batu, and his Golden Horde have just begun a ruthless march across Siberia. Batu intends to spread his Mongolian empire all the way to Europe and to conquer the great city of Novgorod. Meanwhile, the Teutonic Knights of Europe spread the Crusades eastward, burning cities one by one in their unstoppable advance. But in the midst of all this fighting, a small village in Nenetsia is attacked, and a simple hunter named Maansi tragically loses the love of his life. Determined to be reunited with his wife, Maansi travels toward the sea in search of the mythical island of the dead—Buyan. But the path to Buyan is fraught with not only bloodthirsty warriors and religious zealots, but also ancient spirits who have been angered by the war as well as the unforgiving gods of old. Still, desperate to see his wife’s face again, Maansi will not let anything stand in the way of his quest to find Buyan.

SELLING POINTS • Beyond the intriguing story of Buyan is a captivating commentary on the meaning of life and death. Authors Martin and Xabier Etxeberria poetically weave this heavy subject into the pages of their graphic novel along with themes of love, loyalty, and religious differences. • Graphic novels grounded in myth have claimed the comics market today with titles such as American Gods, The Wicked + The Divine, Thor, and Wonder Woman.

COURT OF THE DEAD: SHADOWS OF THE UNDERWORLD

A Graphic Novel

WRITTEN BY JACOB MURRAY ILLUSTRATED BY IVAN KORITAREV

SHADOWS OF THE UNDERWORLD

From the highly creative teams of Sideshow Collectibles and Insight

murray · gilliland · koritarev

Comics comes the next graphic novel installment of the Court of the Dead universe: Shadows of the Underworld! jacob murray · tom gilliland · ivan koritarev

Before the Underworld can rise up and end the war between heaven and hell, they must first defeat the darkness within themselves: the Dreadsgrip. The power reaped from mortal souls comes at a significant cost. Any reapers that siphon too much ethereal power from the harvest may lose themselves to the Dreadsgrip, an irresistible thirst to destroy. Now, a rogue agent in Death’s Underworld is stoking a mutiny, fueled by the terrible Dreadsgrip plague that affects all denizens of the Underworld—a plague that could derail the plans of the Alltaker, leader of the Underworld, to rise up against the celestial powers of both heaven and hell. With this growing curse reverberating throughout the Alltaker’s kingdom, Death’s impulsive daughter Kier must join forces with the Queen’s intractable right hand, Exraile, to root out and destroy this danger to the land between. These mighty warriors, caught in the midst of a celestial war, will need more than just their swords to slice through the Shadows of the Underworld. 130

In present day Turkey, Kim Nelson continues her quest to recover the rumored long-lost treasure of the Ottoman Empire that only her grandmother, Jade, had the power to find. But Kim has inherited the powers of her alluring ancestor—powers that hold the key to a treasure that no one has ever laid eyes on; the powers of a djinn. Now, following her escape from Turkey’s last remaining harem, Kim is finally ready to unlock the secrets of her heritage. However, Kim Nelson was not the first in her family to seek the treasure. Back in the early twentieth century, Jade has been kidnapped by Lord Nelson in his efforts to retrieve his wife from the depths of the Sultan’s harem. Before long, the captive falls in love with the captor, and the pair experiences an unprecedented passion. Now having stolen the hearts of both Lord and Lady Nelson, Jade will do whatever it takes to protect their love, even if it means stealing the great treasure of the last sultan.

time went by. the sultan was overthrown by enver pasha who became the leader of the 'young turks'.

the women of the harem were driven away or sent back to their families.

they survived. and jade's belly grew round. nevertheless, when they took possession of their new home, a manor in wiltshire, it was lady nelson who carried the child in her arms.

hmm…i would be very tempted…

now is the time!

far from this chaos, this collapse, a three-masted ship took jade to the british isles. the favorite had not perished in the desert. quite the opposite, she had taken on new powers.

she never left the english couple, a lord and his wife whose eyes had been burned by the sand. their nights merged into one another, and in the morning, the lord left a few pieces of gold on the captain's tablecloth. the world belongs to risk-takers, if they survive.

an urgent matter. i must leave you.

Kirby’s keen eyes landed on the Eldorado parked in the room’s corner, then noticed the cryo-chamber minus the reactor. “The fusion reactor is missing,” he announced. “We must speed up our timetable. Without the reactor, Erasmus’s body will quickly thaw.” Erasmus hovered above the cryo-chamber, hands on his hips. “Yeah, I’m

“Our newest ghostly compatriot has a unique talent that I put to use,” Kirby said absently, his curious eyes scanning the lab.

“What are we gonna do, Kirby?” OB asked. “We have to find the cow with the nuclear heart at once,” the Frenchie said. Immediately, he turned his attention to the chair that OB had been strapped to and the machines connected to it. “This appears to be a crude version of a brain-extractor.” “Yeah, they were gonna suck information right out of my noggin!” the turtle announced. “I doubt they would have found much,” Kirby said wryly. “That’s what I said!” OB announced proudly. Kirby shook his head as he checked the calibrations on the machine. “Viper!” he barked. The biker jumped, his face like a deer caught in the headlights of an 18-wheeler. Kirby marched toward the moaning form of Dr. Oddfellow still lying on the floor of the lab. “Help me get this man into the chair.” “Can’t believe Viper is doing this,” the pantsless biker grumbled as he joined the Frenchie, quickly lifting the husky scientist and plopping him onto the seat. “Viper should be out hijacking trucks for flat-screen TVs and waffle irons.” 55

Written by Jeremy Holt Illustrated by John Lucas Colors by Adrian Crossa

London, 1888. A shadowy killer stalks the streets of London, his appetite for blood unleashed upon the city’s lower classes. To defeat him, MI6 turns to its most top-secret team: four teenage agents with extraordinary gifts—including a young American immigrant with a talent for illusion . . . After Houdini began the story of Josef Houdini, son of the famous Harry Houdini—brilliant illusionist, acclaimed escape artist, and top-secret covert operative. Now we turn back the clock and meet Ehrich Weiss, a young man whose skill at picking locks is about to land him the adventure of his dreams and pull him into a war that will affect his life—and his son’s—for years to come. This is the story of Ehrich’s strange beginnings, from before he was a world-famous magician. Before he was a master of espionage. Before he was . . . Houdini.

THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE

Madge Oberholtzer And The Unmasking Of The Ku Klux Klan WRITTEN BY MICKY NEILSON AND TODD WARGER ILLUSTRATED BY MARC BORSTEL

Discover the true story of Madge Oberholtzer in this graphic novel retelling of her controversial case, which exposed the political corruption in Indiana and revealed the true face of the infamous Ku Klux Klan. In 1925 the KKK in Indiana was at the height of its influence, with one third of the state’s white population counted among its ranks. It was seen as a very patriotic, pro-working-class organization. However, the case of Madge Oberholtzer would change that forever. Madge was a young, white, middle-class Indiana resident who worked for D. C. Stephenson, a powerful politician in Indiana and former KKK Grand Dragon who led a coup dividing the Northern Klan. On March 15th, Stephenson and his henchmen abducted Madge at gunpoint and forced her to accompany Stephenson on a private train to Chicago, where he would call himself the “law in Indiana” and proceed to brutally beat and victimize her. Before succumbing to her injuries, Madge provided a full statement of her abuse at the hands of Stephenson which would expose the depths of Indiana’s political corruption and lay bare the true face of the Ku Klux Klan—a revelation that would have a ripple effect on America’s impression of the Klan from that day forward.

STRANGE HIGHWAYS WRITTEN BY MICKY NEILSON AND SAMWISE DIDIER ILLUSTRATED BY SAMWISE DIDIER

An illustrated dark fantasy novel from New York Times best-selling author Micky Neilson and legendary Blizzard Entertainment artist Samwise Didier. Welcome to Texas! Well, the new Texas, that is. After seceding from the oppressive USA, the Lone Star Nation has been reduced to a desolate wasteland full of biker gangs, strip clubs, and run-down towns where justice usually comes in the form of a bullet—and lots of ’em to boot. In this new Texas, the bizarre is commonplace, and every soul on the road has something to hide. Growing up as a freak in a traveling carnival, one might expect to have it rough. But being beaten, shot, hung, and left for dead by the very people who raised you? That’s downright extreme. Unfortunately for his attackers, Jo Jo, the former “Feral Kid,” is very hard to kill. And now he’s out for that most basic of human desires: payback. Traveling the strange highways of this new Texas, Jo Jo comes across an eccentric gallery of freaks and rogues: a young dancer on the run from her depraved father, a messianic head of a biker cult, and a gruesome collection of outcasts, cutthroats, and assassin clowns. Each confrontation brings Jo Jo closer to his ultimate target: the Rambling Man—the sinister ringleader of the dark carnival and the man who wants Jo Jo dead more than anyone. ’Course that’s just fine with Jo Jo, ’cause he feels the exact same way. 144

1 Chapter the First It was in the mid-eighties that the world went to shit in a handcart. Before that, things had been moving along okay, for the most part . . . then the Great Conflict happened. Things got real bad real quick; didn’t matter if you lived in Montana or Mozambique. A whole lotta people died and a whole lotta maps got rearranged. The folks who survived, well, many of ’em wound up wishin’ they hadn’t. Let’s take this sorry sonofabitch for example . . . See him dangling there, full o’ holes, bruises, broken bones . . . beat on, pissed on, shit on, stabbed, shot, hung by a rope off this here trellis bridge and left for dead? “Nobody deserves that kind o’ brutalizin’!” you might say. “No matter what he done. That there’s overkill!” Yeah, well, not in Texas. After the Great Conflict, Texas finally got what it always aimed for: to be a real lone star. The rest o’ the world didn’t want nothin’ more to do with it. Hell, even the Mexicans got fed up. They all got together and built up the biggest, thickest wall you’ve ever seen. Yessir, the Big T’s a wasteland. Cut off from anything resemblin’ civilization. And as far as the law goes . . . there’s really only one law. The oldest one of all: Survival o' the fittest. Thirty-five miles west of our lonesome hanged fellow, just off the Anaconda—the main highway that cuts across the state—that endless, timeless struggle o’ life and death is playing out under the baking sun. What happened is, a desperate crow thought he’d make himself a meal o’ a rattlesnake. Now crows ain’t the smartest birds on their best day, but if you were to tell me this crow was especially feeble-minded to pick a fight with a rattler, I’d be inclined to agree.

What confronts him in that booth is one helluva sight—two women’, one o’ ’em layin’ on a couch starin’ at the ceilin’, which ain’t all that strange by itself, ’cept for the fact that her naked body is facin’ downwards. Jo Jo then takes another peek at the woman’s eyes, notin’ how blank and doll-like they are and it don’t take no rocket surgeon to surmise that gal number one is dead, probably by a broken neck, considerin’ how it’s all twisted. The other gal, well she’s curled up on the floor, cryin’ her eyes out, mascara runnin’ down her pretty face. “I didn’t really have no choice,” the not-dead dancin’ girl says in a sobby voice. “Father sent her to spy, and she was gonna tell on me. I had to do it!” Jo Jo, he don’t quite know what he’s stumbled into, and not surprisingly, he don’t know precisely what to say neither. Consequently, nothin’ more than an “umm” sound comes outta his mouth. Anyhow, while he’s formulatin’ a more intelligent response, let’s get a better look at our teary-eyed assassin: Elsa’d be her name and as you can plainly tell, she ain’t exactly your normal slice o’ pie. That skimpy outfit don’t hide much, and though our girl certainly is pretty, there’s somethin’ mighty peculiar about her as well—she kinda looks like a puzzle that got put together with a bunch o’ different pieces. Her eyes is kinda mismatched for one thing. And then there’s the body: one arm thicker than the other, one leg just a shade lighter than the other, and them funny clamps at the joints, like different arms and legs, and hell, even the head done been attached to the body and are all bein’ held in place. Unfortunately there ain’t a whole lotta time to spend contemplatin’ our patchwork executioner, seein’ as how a couple o’ Frankie’s Profits are in the hall, rippin’ booth curtains open one by one lookin’ for Jo Jo. Our man, he gives Elsa a stern look, leans in and says, “You keep my secret and I’ll keep yours.” She just nods back and busies herself for a tick as Jo Jo squeezes himself to one side. When them bikers tear aside that curtain, what they see is Elsa on top o’ some naked gal, with her body facin’ down and her head turned so’s it faces away from ’em. “Do you mind?” Elsa says to the Frankie Faithful, all angry-like. Them two give a look like they might wanna join in on the fun, but then one o’ the truckers calls out: “Anything?” “No,” the one biker shouts back, and with one more glance inside the booth, they close that curtain and skedaddle.

4 Chapter the Fourth It ain’t too much later that Jo Jo finally makes his way out the front, havin’ heard the bikes and trucks tearin’ off the way they came. He checks to see if any o’ Frankie’s faithful done stayed behind, but far as he can tell, they all cleared out. The blackout’s moved on, too, but it left behind a thick kinda haze, like the murky skies over Hubtown. Jo Jo’s grateful that the Profits and the truckers took off, but his relief don’t last long. First, because Elsa’s been right at his side the entire time, askin’ to go with him, carryin’ an ol’-timey doctor bag that she grabbed on her way out. “Ya gotta take me, Mister, I can’t stay here.” “You need to get as far away from me as you can,” Jo Jo answers. And the second reason he’s gettin’ anxious is because he’s hearin’, a tinky-tonky melody, a jingle that makes the hairs all over his body stand up. He’s heard that song before and he knows exactly what it means. Ramblin’ Man sent ’em back to finish me off. Course it wasn’t just anybody the Ringmaster sent. Jo Jo knows it ain’t no use runnin’ as the ice-cream truck pulls on into the parkin’ lot. ’Cause these boys, they don’t give up. They’re the dirtiest, meanest, nastiest, and certainly most insane o’ all carny types. Clowns. Elsa she takes a few steps back. Jo Jo cowboys up and takes a few steps forward, pullin’ off a couple silver rings from his fingers and droppin’ ’em on the ground as both the truck and the jingle come to a stop. Elsa asks why Jo Jo dropped them rings and he just replies that he’s “gettin’ ready.” And then . . . well then members o' the Posse start pourin’

Jo Jo turns to face Frankie. The gang leader finally breaks his eyes from the shiny metal and pushes his bulk off o’ the doorway, leather vest creakin’. He locks eyes with Jo Jo, and what he sees there looks an awful lot like two full moons, but that don’t give him no pause as he moves in for the kill. Not more than thirty seconds or so later, the bathroom door opens, and Jo Jo comes walkin’ out past the faithful, who stare wide-eyed, obviously not expectin’ to see the stranger leavin’ the crapper alive. By the time Jo Jo reaches the door, he can hear the Profits gettin’ out o’ their seats to go check on their fearless leader. The faithful hadn’t noticed the flecks o’ blood on Jo Jo’s beard, or the dark patch coverin’ the front o’ his shirt, which is partially hid under his jean jacket. They most definitely didn’t notice the key Jo Jo holds in his hand. A motorcycle key. It don’t take much to find Frankie’s chopper—marked as it is with Latin-cross Fs on the gas tank. It’s been a long time since I believed much of anything. But maybe Frankie’s mom was right; maybe the only true crime in life is not believing in anything at all. And so I choose to believe. The bike’s engine blasts across the desert like the roar o’ some angry god. Jo Jo hears the hollers o’ the Profits, rushin’ for the door as Jo Jo opens up the throttle and tears ass west on the Anaconda. I believe I’ll find Her. I believe I’ll make them pay. Because, yes, sooner or later . . . The engine roar o’ Frankie’s chopper fades away, as Frankie himself lies in the diner bathroom, his life leakin’ out on the tile floor, pouring from a bite-sized hole where his throat used to be. Sooner or later we all pay.

He is the author of Screen Plays, a collection of his articles on Hollywood screenwriting published in Script magazine, and The Ballad of Rango. He lives in Los Angeles.

Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic science-fi ction action adventure Pacific Rim. Del Toro assembled a talented team to embark on a fi lmmaking journey nearly as challenging as the high-stakes adventure depicted in the film. Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters chronicles this odyssey in vivid detail, with stunning concept art, captivating photography, and candid accounts from cast and crew. From initial inspirations to the hugely ambitious shoot and the fi lm’s state-of-the-art special effects, Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters tells the complete story of a truly gargantuan production. This deluxe volume features in-depth explorations of the unique monsters and robots created for Pacific Rim, chronicling the intensive design process that gave birth to each Jaeger and Kaiju. Beautifully rendered artwork from all stages of production captures the expansive enthusiasm and imagination that del Toro and his team brought to every frame of the film. Including pages from del Toro’s notebooks and reproductions of props such as Pan Pacific Defense Corps ID badges and anti-Kaiju propaganda posters, Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters is the ultimate companion to this epic movie event.

From pop culture–inspired fantasies to manifestations of their own imagination, users can see the world precisely as they wish. Citizens of cView City are fitted with a pair of these ubiquitous lenses at birth as a means of ensuring societal tranquility.

Fifty years of Rock Photography

Robert M. Knight

Robert M. Knight introduction by

Slash

edited by D IVINA I NFUSINO

ISBN: 978-1-60887-601-3

n 1968 a young photographer named Robert M. Knight arrived in San Francisco with a camera and a single roll of film to shoot the legendary Jimi Hendrix. The photographs Knight took seized the uncanny energy of Hendrix, recording his primal performance and adrenaline-driven solos that tantalized audiences. The iconic images Knight produced immortalized Hendrix and propelled Knight on a lifelong pilgrimage as the photographic herald of rock and roll. Rock Gods: Fifty Years of Rock Photography showcases the rich visual universe of Robert M. Knight’s work, replete with visions of guitar gods, monumental performances, and earth-shattering solos. For half a century, Knight has chronicled the greatest moments in the evolution of rock music and culture. His remarkable photographs define generations of rock stars from the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin to Van Halen and Green Day. With Rock Gods, Knight captures the grueling riffs of Jimmy Page, the flamboyant solos of Elton John, Eric Clapton’s soulful blues, and Slash’s steel resolve. With his intimate access to many of his subjects, Knight’s photography fashions a unique perspective on the world of rock stars, creating some of the most compelling and evocative portraits of popular musicians witnessed to date. Through the haze and jagged reverb, Rock Gods captures the ephemeral candor of the stage, visually asserting the impassioned substance of rock that incites our souls. N

A f T E R W O R D b y C H E R y L D Av I S

One of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century, Miles Davis was a man of many talents. Around 1980, he turned to sketching and painting to keep his mind occupied with something when he wasn’t playing music. This hobby quickly turned into a serious passion, and Davis approached it with the same obsessive creativity he applied to music. The result is an impressive archive of unique and evocative visual work showcasing

THE COLLECTED ARTWORK

the varied skills of this legendary artist. Throughout the 1980s, Davis studied regularly with New York painter Jo Gelbard, developing a distinct graphic style. Incorporating bright colors and geometric shapes, his art is reminiscent of work by Pablo Picasso as well as African tribal art, the historical influences he cited during interviews on the subject. Author Scott Gutterman sat down with Miles Davis himself before his death in 1991, and the artist’s own commentary accompanies this remarkable showcase of his work. A long-overdue celebration, Miles Davis: The Collected Artwork is a treasure for art lovers and music aficionados alike, who will appreciate a window into the life of this creative genius.
