And for some reason, the shield thief wants all of them dead. Can Sam and Steve find them first? Christopher Cantwell and Dale Eaglesham celebrate the Sentinel of Liberty’s 80th anniversary with a tour across the United States of Captain America — and some of the industry’s brightest talents join the star-spangled quest, telling the inspirational stories of each new Captain!
My Shabby Afterlife
"The only cure for life is life" writes Aaron Fischer in this gritty and rich collection of poems. Unique among baby boomers, he casts an un-nostalgic eye on his youth fifty years ago, mainly in hard-luck, sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll Brooklyn. His advice to those like him growing up with the same trouble is that it's possible to survive, even to find joy, but "you've got to be lucky." There's nothing shabby about the artistry of My Shabby Afterlife. In this poet's voice the sonnet and the sonnet sequence crackle with their original energy. Clearly Fischer's luck has been poetry itself. And we should feel lucky to have his. - Mark Jarman, author of The Heronry (poetry) and Dailiness (essays) ...
Strange Journey
This biographical history follows the iconoclastic career of John R. Friedeberg Seeley, pre-eminent “Pop Sociologist” and Mental Health Activist of the 1950s. Seeley’s "strange journey" began as a British Home Child, estranged from his cosmopolitan German-Jewish family. Seeley progressed through the ranks of the Canadian Army Medical Corps, and the University of Chicago, to achieve prominence as the author of Crestwood Heights, a defining work of postwar social science. He led an ambitious mental health project in Canadian schools, and was a founding father of York University. However, Seeley’s struggle with mental illness and Jewish identity brought him into conflict with the Canadian establishment. His career ended in academic exile, but his dream of a mental health revolution still resonates.
