The Art of Assassin’s Creed Unity takes us into the heart of
the French Revolution and into the grit and grime of a city in
turmoil. Including early sketch work, a trove of never-beforeseen concept art and close commentary from the creators,
the Paris of Assassin Arno Dorian is realized in stunning and at
times, gruesome detail. With their largest canvas yet, the artists
and developers at Ubisoft Montreal and around the world have
created a living, breathing city populated by restless citizens,
towering barricades and the ever-present shadow
of the guillotine.
The Art of Total War is the ultimate gallery of the critically
and commercially acclaimed franchise. Sketches, concept art
and behind the scenes commentary from the artists and
developers take you onto the battlefields and amongst the
armies of every game in the Total War series.
Each chapter acts as a guide through history – from the
snow-tipped peaks and cherry blossoms of Shogun to the
blood and sand of Rome, and forward, into the future of the
series to command legions in Total War: Arena. With art from
all stages of production, this volume showcases the evolution
of a unique and beloved series.
Explore the palace of Versailles, climb Notre Dame’s towers,
and storm the Bastille alongside the people of France and
notable historical figures such as Napoleon, Robespierre and
the notorious Marquis de Sade. All this combines to evoke a
beautiful, dangerous environment with concept and development
art of unparalleled quality. The Creative Assembly takes us through the development
of each extensive setting, providing insight and explanation
of the artistic and gameplay decisions that have made the
series a bestseller. While marrying historical accuracy with
the requirements of a game design, The Creative Assembly
has created a compelling, eminently playable series shown in
these pages in stunning detail.
The Art of Assassin’s Creed Unity is the ultimate gallery of the latest
game in the critically acclaimed franchise. With over 300 images

filmmakers including George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton. Now, for the first time, Hammer Films have
given their active backing and provided unlimited access to their archives for this series of books celebrating half

Rights sold: Italian
Continuing the award-nominated Simon & Kirby Library,
this time the focus moves onto their horror output, rarely
collected and beautifully restored by Simon & Kirby Museum
alumni Harry Mendryk.
‘Joe was one of the industry’s greatest innovators...This
was a book Joe wanted the world to see.’ Steve Saffel,
Editor
This volume spans more than 20 years, beginning with the
first stories Joe Simon and Jack Kirby produced – the Blue
Bolt adventures – plus Race For the Moon, featuring pencils by
Kirby and inked artwork by comic book legends Reed Crandall,
Angelo Torres, and Al Williamson. Introduction by Dave Gibbons.
The creators of Captain America and the Boy Commandos
produced some of the hardest-hitting crime comics of the
1950s. Often featuring real-world criminals like Ma Barker,
Al Capone, and Pretty Boy Floyd, and true-to-life events like
the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, these adventures were torn
from post-prohibition headlines. Explosive enough to draw
the attention of the congressional committee on juvenile
delinquency, they remain action-packed for today’s graphic
novel audience.
Simon and Kirby set the standard for costumed heroes
with Blue Bolt and Captain America. This volume introduces
some of their most exciting characters: Fighting American,
The Fly, with origins in an unknown Spider-Man prototype,
Lancelot Strong, the man with the double life, The Stuntman,
the Hollywood swashbuckler, and many more. This is the only
edition authorized by both Joe Simon and the estate of Jack
Kirby, gathered from the official Simon and Kirby archives.
The complete adventures of the quirky Cold War superhero,
launched in 1954 by the creators of Captain America, are
presented here in an affordable graphic novel format, with
weird and wonderful characters like Yucha Liffso, Jiseppi
the Jungle Boy, and Poison Ivan! This volume boasts a new
introduction by co-creator Joe Simon as well as previously
unpublished stories and covers.
Hand-picked by Joe Simon, this collection from the
legendary duo shows the range of their talent – from the
dramatic superheroes (Captain America, The Fly), and western
action (Boy’s Ranch), to explosive detective fiction (Justice
Traps the Guilty), and the very first romance comics (Young
Romance). Fully authorised by both Joe Simon and the estate
of Jack Kirby.

John Alvin (1948-2008) was an American cinematic artist
and painter who illustrated some of the 20th century’s
most iconic movie posters including E.T., Blade Runner and
The Lion King. Alvin began his poster career with Blazing
Saddles in 1974, and went on to produce the posters for
several Disney blockbusters, including The Little Mermaid,
Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast, as well as Tim Burton’s
Batman movies.
The Art of John Alvin not only collects some of Alvin’s finest
work, it also includes previously unseen ‘comprehensives’ –
development sketches and roughs. In addition to the films
mentioned above, the book includes the art of such iconic
films as Empire of the Sun, The Godfather Part 3, Alien, Jurassic Park, Predator, The Goonies, Willow and Star Wars 30th
anniversary posters.
Andrea Alvin is John’s widow and, an experienced graphic
designer herself, also worked with him in his studio.

In his own words, this is the life of Joe Simon,
one of the most important figures in comics
and half of the famous creative team Simon
and Kirby. Joe Simon co-created Captain
America, and was the first editor in chief of
Marvel Comics (where he hired Stan Lee
for his first job in comics). Simon did it all:
publishing, editing, writing, pencilling, inking,
colouring, lettering, and running a studio
that employed some of the industry’s most
talented artists.
The definitive companion to Douglas Adams
and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is now
brought up to date, covering the movie and
the build up to the 30th anniversary of the
first novel. A celebration of the life and work
of Douglas Adams, the radio series that started
it all, the five book ‘trilogy’, the TV series, the
almost-film and actual film, the new Hitchhiker’s
novel by Eoin Colfer, and everything in between.
The best-selling biography, now fully revised and
updated. Acclaimed critic Denis Meikle traces
Hollywood star Johnny Depp’s evolution from
teen pin-up to cinematic icon, from his first film
appearance in A Nightmare on Elm Street, through
his collaborations with Tim Burton, to his iconic
role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the
Caribbean blockbusters, and beyond.

Mike Myers says he was ‘a genius’, while John
Cleese regards him as ‘a true cultural icon’.
He was an architect of British comedy, paving
the way for Monty Python, and then became
a major Hollywood star, forever remembered
as Igor in Young Frankenstein. A pioneer of
comedy, he died aged only 48. His name was
Marty Feldman, and here, at last, is his very first
biography.
Published to coincide with Centenary of Peter
Cushing’s birth: 26 May 2013, this is the definitive
account of Peter Cushing’s career, packed with
scores of rare photographs, and drawing from
previously unpublished correspondence with
Cushing himself
From Dracula to Star Wars and beyond, Peter
Cushing was an unforgettable presence in
cult cinema of the fifties, sixties and seventies.
He remains, 100 years after his birth, one
of Britain’s best-loved film stars. Drawing
upon conversations with Cushing’s friends
and colleagues, and previously unpublished
correspondence with Cushing himself, this is the
definitive guide to his career.
