Book excerpt: Andre Roussimoff is known as both the lovable giant in The Princess Bride and a heroic pro-wrestling figure. He was a normal guy who'd been dealt an extraordinary hand in life. At his peak, he weighed 500 pounds and stood nearly seven and a half feet tall. But the huge stature that made his fame also signed his death warrant. Box Brown brings his great talents as a cartoonist and biographer to this phenomenal new graphic novel. Drawing from historical records about Andre's life as well as a wealth of anecdotes from his colleagues in the wrestling world, including Hulk Hogan, and his film co-stars (Billy Crystal, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, etc), Brown has created in Andre the Giant, the first substantive biography of one of the twentieth century's most recognizable figures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood may be thicker than water, but if Anya doesn't stop the Bodach all of Elphame will pay the price. Anya was thrilled to be reunited with her father, legendary giant the Bodach. The rest of the world, not so much. With Chris by her side and her powers at their peak, Anya, the Queen of Winter, did the unthinkable and freed her father and brothers from their stone prisons. After all, now that all of Elphame knew of the Seelie King’s treachery it seemed like the right thing to do. But Elphame was no longer a land where giants roamed, and most were wary of Bod and the boys. Adding to the unease was the lack of information about the Seelie Queen. Nicnevin remained missing, and no one knew if she was alive or dead. Her absence coupled with the Seelie King’s exile meant there was a power vacuum in Elphame, one the Bodach was all too eager to fill. Spurned by his wife, the Bodach allied with an ancient evil who was lying in wait for a chance to take Elphame for himself. The only person powerful enough to stand in their way is Anya.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war.

Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
