A fantastic Christmas present for Neil Gaiman super fans ** AS SEEN ON CHANNEL 4 NEWS ** Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season. In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR’s winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely. Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world. Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home. Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.

Foi há quarenta anos, agora ele lembra muito bem. Quando os tempos ficaram difíceis e os pais decidiram que o quarto do alto da escada, que antes era dele, passaria a receber hóspedes. Ele só tinha sete anos. Um dos inquilinos foi o minerador de opala. O homem que certa noite roubou o carro da família e, ali dentro, parado num caminho deserto, cometeu suicídio. O homem cujo ato desesperado despertou forças que jamais deveriam ter sido perturbadas. Forças que não são deste mundo. Um horror primordial, sem controle, que foi libertado e passou a tomar os sonhos e a realidade das pessoas, inclusive os do menino. Ele sabia que os adultos não conseguiriam — e não deveriam — compreender os eventos que se desdobravam tão perto de casa. Sua família, ingenuamente envolvida e usada na batalha, estava em perigo, e somente o menino era capaz de perceber isso. A responsabilidade inescapável de defender seus entes queridos fez com que ele recorresse à única salvação possível: as três mulheres que moravam no fim do caminho. O lugar onde ele viu seu primeiro oceano.

Lud-in-the-Mist, the capital city of the small country Dorimare, is a port at the confluence of two rivers, the Dapple and the Dawl. The Dapple has its origin beyond the Debatable Hills to the west of Lud-in-the-Mist, in Fairyland. In the days of Duke Aubrey, some centuries earlier, fairy things had been looked upon with reverence, and fairy fruit was brought down the Dapple and enjoyed by the people of Dorimare. But after Duke Aubrey had been expelled from Dorimare by the burghers, the eating of fairy fruit came to be regarded as a crime, and anything related to Fairyland was unspeakable. Now, when his son Ranulph is believed to have eaten fairy fruit, Nathaniel Chanticleer, the mayor of Lud-in-the-Mist, finds himself looking into old mysteries in order to save his son and the people of his city.

When Neal Gaiman penned the seventy-fifth issue of The Sandman he made history in two ways. For the first time in comic book history, a profitable on-going series was being brought to a conclusion. More importantly the threads that he began to spin in the very first issue are now brought together and tied together in a loose bundle that wraps the whole package up nicely and yet leaves him the option to slip another present into the bundle at some later date.



Sandman: The Wake is comprised of the last six issues of the regular Sandman comic book series. The first three cover the actual wake of Morpheus, King of Dreams. In this story within a story characters from the series meet to remember and pay their respects to the fallen immortal. In eulogies which alternate between respect, praise and villification, the Dream Lord's character is summed up and his flaws laid bare to, literally, all the world.



In the final chapter of The Wake the reader is returned to an earlier time in the saga of the Sandman, when an aging "William Shekespeare" having just completed his final play "The Tempest," commissioned at the bequest of the Dream Lord, reflects on his life, his struggles, tragedies and a bargain for greatness he made with Morpheus many years earlier. In perhaps the series' most poigniant line, a statement which ironically becomes the Sandman's own epitaph, Morpheus reveals that he made the bargain because



"...I am the King of Stories, but I have no story of my own."


Carefully balancing melancholy and tragedy with hope and determination the beautifully illustrated and even more beautifully written Sandman: The Wake stands counter to Morpheus' own words and serves as an extrodinary ending to one of the most incredible stories in the history of comics.



- Joel Feigenbaum

بعد از ماجراهای هیجان‌انگیز کتاب «ناکجا» نیل گیمن بار دیگر خوانندگان را با خود به دنیای لندنِزیرین می‌برد تا در کنار یکی از جذاب‌ترین شخصیت‌هایشبه جست‌وجویی غریب بروند

جایی هست که بیشتر آدم‌ها حتی خوابش را هم نمی‌بینند. شهر قدیس‌ها و هیولاها، قاتلان و فرشته‌ها، شوالیه‌های زره‌پوش و دختران رنگ‌پریده با لباس مخمل مشکی. آن‌جا شهرِ مردمانی است که همیشه نادیده گرفته شده‌اند.
ریچارد مِی‌هیو کارمند جوانی است که بیش از آن که بخواهد درگیر دنیای لندن زیرین می‌شود. یک عمل مهربانانه‌ی ساده او را از زندگی عادی و روزمره به دنیایی می‌برد که به‌طرز غریبی آشنا اما غریب است. و سرنوشتی عجیب در انتظار اوست در آن جهانِ زیرین، در شهری که زیر شهرِ زادگاه اوست: ناکجا.

Witness the birth of the Marvel heroes and villains in the 17th century!

!پلیس بین کهکشانی
!دزدهای دریایی
! ایزدان خشمگین آتشفشان
!قربانی کردن آدم ها
...و از همه مهم تر بالنی که در اختیار پروفسور استگ باهوش است

اسطوره‌های نورس، اسطوره‌های یک سرزمین سرد و یخ‌بسته با شب‌های بسیار طولانی زمستانی و روزهای گرم و بی‌پایان تابستانی و اسطورهٔ مردمی است که نه تنها دربست به ایزدان خود اعتماد نداشتند، بلکه آن‌قدرها هم به آنان علاقه‌مند نبودند، با این همه از ایزدان خویش می‌ترسیدند و به آنان احترام می‌گذاشتند. تا آن‌جا که می‌دانیم، ایزدان آزگارد از آلمان آمده بودند و ابتدا در سراسر اسکاندیناوی پخش شدند و سپس به دیگر بخش‌های جهان که زیر سلطهٔ وایکینگ‌ها قرار داشت. در اورکنی و اسکاتلند، ایرلند و شمال انگلستان - کوچ کردند و مکان‌هایی را که به نام ثور یا اودین نامگذاری شده بودند، ترک گفتند. ایزدان نورس نام‌های خود را در زبان انگلیسی در نام روزهای هفته به جا گذاشتند. می‌توان نشانه‌هایی از نام‌های تیر یک دست (پسر اودین)، اودین، ثور و فریگ، ملکهٔ ایزدان را به‌ترتیب در نام‌های انگلیسی روزهای هفته چون تیوزدی (سه‌شنبه)، ونزدی (چهارشنبه)، ثرزدی (پنجشنبه) و فرایدی (جمعه) مشاهده کرد.

باد پسر عجیب و غریبی است که در جایی عجیب و غریب زندگی می کند. او تنها ساکن زنده ی یک گورستان است.

باد که از کودکی توسط ارواح، گرگینه ها و باقی ساکنان گورستان بزرگ شده، فرهنگ آنها را به خوبی فرا گرفته است، همچنین توانایی هایی مخصوص روح ها، مانند محو شدن.

آیا پسری که با ارواح بزرگ شده است می تواند با عجایب و وحشت های هردو دنیای زندگان و مردگان مواجه شود؟ و چیز های دیگری هم وجود دارند که متعلق به هیچکدام از این دو دنیا نیستند. مانند غول ها.
