Mickey Mouse
All of Mouseton is swooning over the odd "Mr. Benevolence," a masked philanthropist who can't stop doing good -- or can he? Mickey thinks he's behind the vanishing of the atomic genius Dr. Einmug -- and the arrest of Einmug's otherworldly helper, Atomo Bleep-Bleep! But things get strange when the villainous Pegleg Pete turns up where Mickey least expects him: a "Shadow Dimension" in which fiction becomes fact! Walking in the footsteps of Disney giants Floyd Gottfredson and Romano Scarpa, Italian writer/artist Andrea "Casty" Castellan is among today's most inspired and beloved Mickey Mouse comics creators. After many reader requests, Fantagraphics Books is thrilled to present the first Disney Masters volume by the beloved Disney cartoonist Casty! And "Trapped in the Shadow Dimension'' is just the start! Also: in this volume, Scrooge McDuck squares off with "The Terrible, Terrible Triple-Dimensional Beagle Boy''... while in "The World to Come," Mickey and Minnie are headed to far-off Illusitania for royal intrigue, robot war... and a showdown with that dastardly, poetic secret agent, The Rhyming Man!

Saul
Terry Morgan's second novel, 'Saul', is a thrilling re-interpretation and re-telling of the foundation of the kingdom of Israel. Saul, a young warrior, is chosen as Israel's first king by the prophet Samuel. With the help of his family and his right-hand man, the scribe Horebshep, he seeks to establish a firm foundation for his nation in the teeth of violent and sometimes unexpected opposition. Terry Morgan's re-creation of the beginnings of the three-thousand year conflict between Israel and the Philistines is a tale of lasting love and broken friendships and of noble ideals and vaulting ambition. Familiar events and characters such as Saul, Samuel, David and Goliath are given a new twist as a story of love, adventure and betrayal unfolds. 'Saul' is a rattling good read, reminiscent of novels such as 'The Robe' and 'Spartacus'.
Singers of Italian Opera
Adelina Patti was the most highly regarded singer in history. She earned nearly $5,000 a night and had her own railway carriage. Yet a minor comic singer would perform for the cost of his food and a pair of shoes to wear on stage. John Rosselli's wide-ranging study introduces all those singers, members of the chorus as well as stars, who have sung Italian opera from 1600 to the twentieth century. Singers are shown slowly emancipating themselves from dependence on great patrons and entering the dangerous freedom of the market. Rosselli also examines the sexist prejudices against the castrati of the eighteenth century and against women singers. Securely rooted in painstaking scholarship and sprinkled with amusing anecdote, this is a book to fascinate and inform opera fans at all levels.

Then stick around for more action with Donald, Mickey, and the whole Walt Disney's Comics and Stories supporting cast! Donald and evil Argus McSwine clash as demolition derby drivers in "Roadhogs," and as superhot curry chefs in "You Vindaloo, You Lose a Few!"
