Künstler, Kriegsheld, legendärer Liebhaber – das Leben von Kill Hundeschnauze ist eine Aneinanderreihung von Triumphen. Nicht zuletzt stand er Seite an Seite mit John Difool, als dieser die Macht des Incal ergründete. Doch jetzt ist Kill Opfer eines hinterhältigen Attentats geworden und liegt im Koma, und einige der vielen Mischlingswelpen, die er überall in der Galaxie gezeugt hat, nutzen diese Gelegenheit, um in seinen Verstand einzudringen. Sie sind auf der Suche nach einer Spur zu ihrem Erbrecht, denn Kill hat sie allesamt im Stich gelassen. Was sie finden, ist die wahre Geschichte von Kill Hundeschnauze, die weitaus komplexer ist, als sein Ruf glauben lässt… Eine spektakuläre Rückkehr in die Welt des »Incal«, der genredefinierenden Comicserie von Alejandro Jodorowsky und Moebius: »Kill Hundeschnauze« erforscht die Vorgeschichte einer der enigmatischsten Randfiguren des SciFi-Epos und fügt dem »Incal«-Kosmos zahlreiche Facetten hinzu.

In this revelatory biography, Evan Thomas delivers a radical, unique portrait of America's thirty-seventh president, Richard Nixon, a contradictory figure who was both determinedly optimistic and tragically flawed. One of the principal architects of the modern Republican Party and its "silent majority" of disaffected whites and conservative ex-Dixiecrats, Nixon was also deemed a liberal in some quarters for his efforts to desegregate Southern schools, create the Environmental Protection Agency, and end the draft. The son of devout Quakers, Richard Nixon (not unlike his rival John F. Kennedy) grew up in the shadow of an older, favored brother and thrived on conflict and opposition. Through high school and college, in the navy and in politics, Nixon was constantly leading crusades and fighting off enemies real and imagined. He possessed the plainspoken eloquence to reduce American television audiences to tears with his career-saving "Checkers" speech; meanwhile, Nixon's darker half-hatched schemes designed to take down his political foes, earning him the notorious nickname "Tricky Dick." Drawing on a wide range of historical accounts, Thomas's biography reveals the contradictions of a leader whose vision and foresight led him to achieve détente with the Soviet Union and reestablish relations with communist China, but whose underhanded political tactics tainted his reputation long before the Watergate scandal. A deeply insightful character study as well as a brilliant political biography, Being Nixon offers a surprising look at a man capable of great bravery and extraordinary deviousness--a balanced portrait of a president too often reduced to caricature

She was born in 1930 in El Paso and grew up on a cattle ranch in Arizona. At a time when women were expected to be homemakers, she set her sights on Stanford University. When she graduated near the top of her class at law school in 1952, no firm would even interview her. But Sandra Day O'Connor's story is that of a woman who repeatedly shattered glass ceilings--doing so with a blend of grace, wisdom, humor, understatement, and cowgirl toughness.She became the first-ever female majority leader of a state senate. As a judge on the Arizona State Court of Appeals, she stood up to corrupt lawyers and humanized the law. When she arrived at the Supreme Court, appointed by Reagan in 1981, she began a quarter-century tenure on the court, hearing cases that ultimately shaped American law. Diagnosed with cancer at fifty-eight, and caring for a husband with Alzheimer's, O'Connor endured every difficulty with grit and poise.Women and men today will be inspired by how to be first in your own life, how to know when to fight and when to walk away, through O'Connor's example. This is a remarkably vivid and personal portrait of a woman who loved her family and believed in serving her country, who, when she became the most powerful woman in America, built a bridge forward for the women who followed her.
