Prince Marko
One of the most popular of the south European epic heroes—a counterpart of the French Roland or Spain’s El Cid—Prince Marko has not been well known in America. The historical Marko headed a small kingdom in Macedonia in the fourteenth century. A vassal of the Turkish sultans, he was a relatively minor historical figure. Yet in the oral tradition he was transmuted into a figure of legend, the great hero who protected the South Slavic people from injustice and oppression. In Prince Marko, Popovic traces the epic hero’s themes, over time and across countries. She looks at the factual and fictional images of Marko, especially as he was presented in epic poetry and popular lore. Popovic also examines the legend and history of the Prince as revealed in many epic songs. Prince Marko is a compelling account of a medieval king transformed by epic bards into a legend that will appeal to historians, anthropologists, and folklorists.
Marko the Damned
In the haunting and gothic landscape of 1640s Ukraine, Marko the Damned (1879) by Oleksa Storozhenko weaves a chilling tale of rebellion, betrayal, and the supernatural. Set against the backdrop of the kozak struggle for freedom, this gripping novel follows the harrowing journey of Marko, a kozak warrior ensnared by dark forces. As the kozaky rise up against their oppressors, Marko finds himself torn between loyalty to his comrades and a cursed destiny that threatens to consume him. With every step, he battles both the homeland’s enemies and the sinister powers that seek to claim his soul. Storozhenko’s masterful storytelling plunges readers into a world of eerie shadows and moral dilemmas, where the fight for freedom intertwines with a descent into the macabre. Marko the Damned is a captivating exploration of human resilience and the unyielding spirit of the kozaky, destined to leave readers both enthralled and unsettled.

Aftershocks

Terms of Enlistment
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world, or you can join the service. Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces. But as he starts a career of supposed privilege, he soon learns that good food and decent health care come at a steep price.
Destruction, Ethics, and Intergalactic Love
Destruction, Ethics, and Intergalactic Love: Exploring Y: The Last Man and Saga offers a creative and accessible exploration of the two comic book series, examining themes like nonviolence; issues of gender and war; heroes and moral failures; forgiveness and seeking justice; and the importance of diversity and religious pluralism. Through close interdisciplinary reading and personal narratives, the author delves into the complex worlds of Y and Saga in search of an ethics, meaning, and a path resonant with real-world struggles. Reading these works side by side, the analysis draws parallels and seeks common themes around the four central ideas of seeking and making meaning in a meaningless world; love and parenting through oppression and grief; peacefulness when surrounded by violence; and the perils and hopes of diversity and communion. This timely and thoughtful study will resonate with scholars and students of comic studies, media and cultural studies, philosophy, theology, literature, psychology, and popular culture studies.
