Tracing a remarkably varied career, this monograph on the painter David Diao follows his stylistic evolution-from abstraction to genre-defying and candid self-exploration.,his book accompanies the first full-scale retrospective of David Diao's entire oeuvre. It is a career of twists and turns- Diao's work was originally influenced by the New York School of the 1960s before he became obsessed with the work of Barnett Newman, referencing many of the artist's paintings in his own. After a period of restless inactivity, Diao's most recent works touch on his personal history as a Chinese immigrant in America, modernist architecture, and identity politics. In addition to spectacular reproductions of Diao's work over four decades, this comprehensive book features illustrations and essays on Diao's treatment of identity and his aversion to categorization, and analysis of Diao's work as a method of capturing the process of forgetting and the inherent fallibility of art historical memory. Long overdue, this book celebrates Diao's unique vision and art.

In 2014, northeastern Syria might have been the last place you would expect to find a revolution centered on women's rights. But that year, an all-female militia faced off against ISIS in a little town few had ever heard of: Kobani. By then, the Islamic State had swept across vast swathes of the country, taking town after town and spreading terror as the civil war burned all around it. From that unlikely showdown in Kobani emerged a fighting force that would wage war against ISIS across northern Syria alongside the United States. In the process, these women would spread their own political vision, determined to make women's equality a reality by fighting - house by house, street by street, city by city - the men who bought and sold women.

Su colaboración en la saga de Spiderman no podía durar para siempre, pero los cinco años de la extraordinaria asociación de Stan Lee y Steve Ditko dieron de sí lo suficiente como para que su personaje evolucionara hasta convertirse en un ídolo atemporal con un ejército de seguidores que sobrevive al paso de las generaciones. El nuevo volumen de TASCHEN de las historias de Amazing Spider-Man recopila la segunda mitad de la obra maestra de sus creadores, con los nuevos archivillanos el Escorpión, el Hombre Ígneo y Crime-Master, el regreso de Kraven el Cazador y Duende Verde, y la saga ''Master Planner'' de tres partes que reavivó un enfrentamiento con un icónico villano y dejó a su paso lo que muchos críticos de cómics consideran la mejor historia de superhéroes de todos los tiempos.Más allá de la acción a la que Spiderman tuvo que enfrentarse (toda ella coreografiada con estilo y aplomo por el magistral Ditko), estaba el proceso de maduración de Peter Parker durante una década de agitación y cambios sociales. Con la mezcla de melodrama y sensibilidad social preparada por Stan Lee, Peter pasó de la escuela secundaria a la universidad y comenzó a lidiar con un sinfín de conflictos propios de la edad adulta que reflejaban las experiencias vitales de los lectores. Peter Parker ya no era un adolescente escuálido, y Lee y Ditko ampliaron su red de amigos y enemigos e hicieron debutar a Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn y, en una serie de hilarantes cameos, a Mary Jane Watson, todos ellos personajes que se convirtieron en uno de los elencos más profundos y consistentes de todos los cómics. También se presenta al padre de Harry, Norman Osborn, el iracundo empresario que más tarde se reveló como el enemigo más temible de Spiderman. Mientras tanto, el accidentado romance entre Peter y Betty Brant llega a su fin con ambos personajes cambiados para siempre.Recopilados en un volumen de tamaño XXL con las mismas dimensiones que las páginas en blanco en las que se dibujaron los cómics originales, todos los números reproducen la colección de Bob Bretall, poseedor del récord Guinness de la colección de cómics más grande. La prestigiosa colección de Bretall se ha fotografiado con los excelentes métodos de reproducción de TASCHEN para imitar el aspecto original de estos cómics cuando se publicaron por primera vez en 1965 y 1966. Las imágenes se han remasterizado digitalmente con modernas técnicas de retoque para corregir los problemas propios de la impresión económica e imperfecta de la época. Para esta serie se ha desarrollado en exclusiva un tipo de papel que simula el tacto propio del papel de periódico y la reproducción de los colores de los cómics originales. The Marvel Comics Library se ha hecho acreedora de los elogios de los coleccionistas de cómics por combinar la experiencia de lectura de la vieja escuela con un lujoso formato de gran tamaño, y ha sido galardonada con el codiciado premio Eisner al mejor diseño.Como complemento a los cómics, se incluye un ensayo incisivo y a menudo muy divertido del presentador de radio y televisión británico Jonathan Ross. Acompaña al ensayo una galería de ilustraciones originales, fotografías y material documental.© 2023 MARVEL
