For more than thirty years, the comic-book series Nexus has showcased the artistry of Steve "The Dude" Rude, one of the industry's most passionate and highly regarded artists. Rude's continuing dedication to improving his craft through daily practice and the study of his heroes--Jack Kirby, Alex Raymond and Hal Foster and such illustration masters as Andrew Loomis and John Gannam--have infused his art with a combination of grace, power and finely crafted storytelling. The Nexus Chronicles focuses on Rude's role as artist and co-creator of this award-winning series. Three dedicated years have gone into assembling the original art for eight of The Dude's favorite creations, including Nexus: Wages of Sin #1 and Next Nexus #1, both of which are shown with their pencil and finished inked forms facing one another to highlight the process. Nexus #50 and the rarely seen eight-page "All in Sundra" are reproduced from their inked originals. Also featured is the previously unpublished Nexus #99 in pencil form and the fully painted Sundra story "When She Was Young," and more. Each issue has been meticulously scanned directly from The Dude's personal archives. Every chapter opens with a spotlight on the Rude's painted covers and supplemental drawings taken from his sketchbooks. These openings highlight concept drawings, preparatory thumbnails and cover-color compositions, following an introduction by the artist. An expanded interview offers insight into his craft, and photographs by Greg Preston show Rude working in his studio. The Nexus Chronicles reproduces Steve Rude's finest comics like never before, allowing fans and students alike to study the nuances of his line art.

When it feels like everything in the world is stacked against you, it's easy to claim that it's the devil's doing. But what if that were true? For a teenager like Nexus, having to deal with school, supernatural traits, and the hustle and bustle of 31st century living, life is hard enough. But when misfortune seems to meet him at every turn, it's no wonder he places the blame all on some devil. Especially when that devil appears before him. Things take a turn for the worse when his closest friend, Darius, disappears. It's at that moment, he realizes that this is bigger than him. Something has to be done. Something has to change. Desperate to find a way to bring his friend back, he reluctantly teams up with his classmates, Noah, Lynn, and Kai. All of them share a bond with Darius, and all of them are just as concerned. But given the fact that none of them possess any clue about demons, devils, or this entire world of darkness, who's to say what lies ahead for them?
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Music legend Bob Dylan's only work of fiction—a combination of stream of consciousness prose, lyrics, and poetry that gives fans insight into one of the most influential singer-songwriters of our time. Written in 1966, Tarantula is a collection of poems and prose that evokes the turbulence of the times in which it was written, and offers unique insight into Dylan's creative evolution, capturing the stream-of-consciousness preoccupations of the legendary folk poet and his eclectic, erudite cool at a crucial juncture in his artistic development. It has since been welcomed into the Dylan canon, as Dylan himself has cemented his place in the cultural imagination, inspiring Todd Haynes’s acclaimed 2007 musical drama I’m Not There, selling more than 100 million records, and winning numerous prizes, including the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2017. In his acceptance speech for the Nobel, Dylan acknowledged the early influence on his work of Buddy Holly and Lead Belly as well as of wide-ranging classics like Don Quixote, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Moby Dick. Tarantula is a rare chance to see Dylan at a moment in which he was still deeply connected to his country roots and a folk vernacular while opening himself up to the influence of French 19th-century Surrealist writers like Arthur Rimbaud and the Comte de Lautreamont. A decade before the confessional singer-songwriter who would create the 1975 epic, Blood on the Tracks—which was just optioned by filmmaker Luca Guadagnino—here is Dylan at his most verbally playful and radically inventive. Angry, funny, and strange, the poems and prose in this collection reflect the concerns found in Dylan's most seminal music—a spirit of protest, a poetic spontaneity, and a chronicling of the eccentric and the everyday—which continue to make him a beloved artist and cultural icon.
