Will Eisner's Life on Another Planet

http://rapidshare.com/files/17250218/Will_Eisner_s_Life_On_Another_Planet.cbr
LIFE ON ANOTHER PLANET or SIGNAL FROM SPACE (1993). It's the near future, and the first evidence of intelligent life on another planet reaches earth — a signal from space. This story traces the effects around the world as mankind discovers we're not alone in the universe
LIFE ON ANOTHER PLANET is a work of science fiction in the best sense of the term...By fusing the full resources of the comics medium with his puissant dark-humorist's sensibility, Eisner has wrought a kind of science fictional BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, a large-scale, baroque comedy about the absurd circus that human life has become in the second half of this century...Like the great satirists before him, Eisner does not feel entirely at home in this world. A stranger in his own land, he steps back from contemporary civilization--from quotidian preoccupations obscure. In the final analysis, we are the 'other planet' of Eisner's title, we are the aliens, and, like Orwell and company, he is warning us to change course before our follies and foibles wreak irredeemable havoc. |

Berlin : City of Stones

http://rapidshare.com/files/23315724/Berlin.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/23316711/Berlin.part2.rar
Berlin is the title of a comic book series created by Jason Lutes and published by Drawn and Quarterly. Planned as a series of 24 magazines, it describes life in Berlin from 1928 to 1933, during the decline of the Weimar Republic.
The first eight magazines were compiled into a book titled Berlin: City of Stones, published in 2000. It starts with Marthe Müller, an art student, arriving in Berlin. One story arc details the start of her life in Berlin, focusing on her relationship to journalist Kurt Severing. A second story line describes a working class family which breaks up due to differing political views, the mother eventually joining the communists with their daughters, while the father takes their son to the Nazis. The book ends on May 1, 1929, the International Workers Day.
This is among Time's Top 10 Graphic Novels |

Watchmen is a twelve-issue comic book limited series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. Originally published by DC Comics as a monthly limited series from 1986 to 1987, it was later republished as a trade paperback. It was one of the first superhero comics to present itself as serious literature, and it also popularized the “graphic novel” format. To date, Watchmen remains the only graphic novel to win a Hugo Award, and is also the only graphic novel to appear on Time Magazine’s 2005 list of “the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present.”
Watchmen is set in 1985, in an alternative history United States where costumed adventurers are real and the country is edging closer to a nuclear war with the Soviet Union (the Doomsday Clock is at five minutes to midnight). It tells the story of a group of past and present superheroes and the events surrounding the mysterious murder of one of their own. Watchmen depicts superheroes as real people who must confront ethical and personal issues, who struggle with neuroses and failings, and who - with one notable exception - lack anything recognizable as super powers. Watchmen’s deconstruction of the conventional superhero archetype, combined with its innovative adaptation of cinematic techniques and heavy use of symbolism, multi-layered dialogue, and metafiction, has influenced both comics and film.

The title Watchmen is derived from the phrase Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?, from Juvenal's Satire VI, "Against women" (c. AD 60–127), often translated as "Who watches the watchmen?"
