Archer suspects that Eleanor knows more than she’s saying, but before he can officially take on her case, a dead body turns up inside of Eleanor’s home . . . and Eleanor herself disappears. Missing client or not, Archer is dead set on finding both the murderer and Eleanor. With the help of Callahan and his partner Willie Dash, he launches an investigation that will take him from mob-ridden Las Vegas to the glamorous world of Hollywood to the darkest corners of Los Angeles—a city in which beautiful faces are attached to cutthroat schemers, where the cops can be more corrupt than the criminals . . . and where the powerful people responsible for his client’s disappearance will kill without a moment’s hesitation if they catch Archer on their trail.

Sans doute fatigué, Frédéric prend cette peinture pour une invitation au voyage. Il va écrire dans cette cabane, sur ce bureau.

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

WINNER OF THE FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR'This is a masterfully written history of the world's greatest football club. Més que un book!' - GARY LINEKERFrom the bestselling co-author of Soccernomics comes the story of how FC Barcelona became the most successful football club in the world - and how that envied position now hangs in the balance.Barça is not just the world's most popular sports club, it is simply one of the most influential organisations on the planet. With almost 250 million followers on social media and 4 million visitors to its Camp Nou stadium each year, there's little wonder its motto is 'More than a club'. But it was not always so. In the past three decades, Barcelona has transformed from regional team to global powerhouse, becoming a model of sporting excellence and a consistent winner of silverware.Simon Kuper unravels exactly how these transformations took place. He outlines the organisational structure behind the club's business decisions, and details the work of its coaches, medics, data analysts and nutritionists who have revolutionised the sporting world. And, of course, he studies the towering influence of the club's two greatest legends, Johan Cruyff and Lionel Messi.Like many leading global businesses, FC Barcelona closely guards its secrets, granting few outsiders a view behind the scenes. But, after decades of writing about the sport and the club, Kuper was given unprecedented access to the inner sanctum and to the people who strive daily to keep Barcelona at the top.Erudite, personal, and capturing all the latest successes and upheavals, his portrait of this incredible institution goes beyond football to understand Barça as a unique social, cultural, and political phenomenon.''I began my research thinking I was going to be explaining Barca's rise to greatness, and I have, but I've also ended up charting the decline and fall.''
