THE SERIES:
The Desert Peach is a comic book created by Donna Barr, chronicling the adventures of the eponymous protagonist, Erwin “The Desert Fox” Rommel’s fictitious homosexual younger brother, Oberst Manfred Pfirsich Marie Rommel (1900-1990), nicknamed the “Desert Peach”. Early issues of the comic focused on the Peach’s command of a misfit unit of the Afrika Korps from 1940 to 1943; subsequent issues have explored the pre- and post-war lives of Pfirsich (German for “Peach”) and his supporting cast. The Desert Peach was first published in 1989, by MU Press/AEON, and later by A Fine Line. 32 issues were released throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, and subsequently re-released in eight collected volumes; as well, a Desert Peach musical was produced in 1992, and “Bread and Swans”, a Desert Peach novel, was released in 2005. With the exception of the musical, all Desert Peach material has been created entirely by Barr.

CRITICS AND PROFESSIONALS HAVE SAID ABOUT “THE DESERT PEACH”:
“The Desert Peach is one of the most enjoyable comics to come down the pike in recent years. The stories, like the Peach himself, are tempered with a sense of humanity…The Peach is a great character, not simply because of his dashing good looks and politeness, but also because he is a fully dimensional, well-rounded character. The stories are funny and touching.”
–MIKE KAZALEH, INKER, REN AND STIMPY

“This is one of the few comics I eagerly look forward to. There’s so much going on, I can read ‘em over and over and still get something new from ‘em. On this little stage set in North Africa around 1940 are played out some of the most intricately-crafted comedy-dramas this medium has to offer.”
–ROBERTA GREGORY, ARTISTIC LICENTIOUSNESS, WINGING IT, and NAUGHTY BITS

“Thanks for your excellent work; I think you are among the best in comics today.”
–MICHAEL VANCE, SUSPENDED ANIMATION

“This book is heart-warmingly individual, funny, irreverent and quite simply brilliant in its concept and execution. I can’t praise it enough for its constant breaking-down of stereotypes.”
–PAUL BIRCH, COMICS INTERNATIONAL

“The woman could draw on a shovel with a rock.”
–CHUCK MELVILLE, MU PRESS/AEON

Count Dracula is a fictional character, the titular antagonist of Bram Stoker’s 1897 Gothic horror novel Dracula. He was the subject of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula, and set the stage for all other vampire tales that followed.

Count Dracula is a centuries-old vampire, sorcerer and Transylvanian nobleman, who claims to be a Székely descended from Attila the Hun. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass. Contrary to the vampires of Eastern European folklore which are portrayed as repulsive, corpse-like creatures, Dracula exudes a veneer of aristocratic charm which masks his unfathomable evil.

These cute, little books use manga-style graphics to help English speakers learn the Japanese writing systems. Kana de Manga: A Fun, Easy Way To Learn the ABCs of Japanese! teaches the hiragana and katakana syllabaries, the closest that Japanese has to an alphabet. For each kana are provided the sound, a word using the sound with accompanying illustration and cultural note, the stroke order for drawing the kana, and empty grids for practice. Front and back matter provide kana contractions plus more information about the kana systems. Almost 40 pages are devoted to practice grids, unnecessary for library readers. The volume is inexpensive, cute, and useful, although other kana tutorials that use mnemonics that is, likening the kana to an image can be effective, too.

The four Kanji de Manga volumes teach 320 of the more complex Chinese-based kanji characters, of which some 2100 are used in standard Japanese. These books teach kanji only through the kana. This may be a good discipline, but most English-speaking readers would have greatly appreciated Romanizations, too, even if relegated to a back section in place of practice pages. There’s no Romanized index or glossary, either. Not a priority purchase.

Japanese Sound FX! is likely to be the most useful of these books, with Romanizations, cultural explanations, and illustrations for many of those untranslated sound effects sprinkled tantalizingly throughout manga. This last is recommended for libraries where manga is popular. –Library Journal

Have you ever wondered what a cat’s meow sounds like in Japanese? How about the grumble of an empty stomach, the wail of a police car’s siren or the crash of an ocean wave? Japanese manga artists rely heavily upon onomatopoeia – sound-effect words – and this special entry in the best-selling Kana de Manga / Kanji de Manga language-learning series from Japanime is jam-packed with illustrated examples of those sounds (and more!) in action. Featuring more than 100 Japanese onomatopoeia and their English equivalents in categories such as “Humans,” “Animals,” “Machines” and “Nature.” Japanese/English text.

The fun, easy way to learn Japanese! This all-new entry in the popular Kanji de Manga series gives students their first look at “yojijukugo,” idioms that are written with just four kanji characters.
