![]() For example, diGriz will steal without compunction, but deplores killing. He displays a strong sense of morality, albeit in a much more restricted sense than is traditional. Master of self-rationalization, the Rat frequently justifies his crimes by arguing that he is providing society with entertainment and besides which, he only steals from institutions that he believes have insurance coverage and so will be able to recoup their losses. He is also a master of disguise and martial arts, an accomplished bank robber, a criminal mastermind, an expert on breaking and entering, and (perhaps most usefully) a skilled liar. He is a futuristic con man, thief, and all-round rascal. ![]() James Bolivar diGriz goes by many aliases, including " Slippery Jim" and " The Stainless Steel Rat". ![]() James Bolivar diGriz, alias " Slippery Jim" and " The Stainless Steel Rat", is a fictional character and a series of comic science fiction novels written by Harry Harrison. ![]() First cover printing to The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Only three months had passed since the incident. As he learns from Russell, the entire world believes that the Vogon fleet was actually a hallucination, brought on by drugs released into the air as part of an experiment by the C.I.A. ![]() After hitching a ride with a man named Russell, he finds Russell's sister, Fenchurch, or "Fenny," unconscious in the back seat, and immediately falls in love with her. Arthur, who has apparently hitched a ride all the way to the spot where the Earth once was, is shocked to find the planet perfectly intact. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish begins three years after the events of Life, the Universe and Everything and eight years after those of The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Making good on the promise of his Way of the Jaguar (2000), Stork delivers a powerful tale populated by appealing (and decidedly unappealing) characters and rich in emotional nuance. In the end Marcelo keeps his feet amid strong emotional currents, makes the hard choices and even maps out a personal future that wasn’t at all clear earlier on. Vicious office intrigues, Marcelo’s long-standing fascination with religious thought and his discovery of a damning piece of suppressed evidence in a case involving his father’s biggest corporate client all lead to a series of short but deep heart-to-heart conversations about ethics, God’s will and other big questions. ![]() ![]() Comfortable with his limitations but still anxious, Marcelo strikes gold immediately when Jasmine, his supervisor in the Mail Room, turns out to be an uncommonly perceptive young woman-unlike Wendell, the sex-obsessed son of his father’s slimeball legal partner. In what turns out to be considerably more than just another tale told by an intelligent narrator with a spectrum disorder, 17-year-old Marcelo Sandoval gets a life-changing taste of the “real world” when he’s forced to take a summer job in his father’s law firm. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Responding: Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic work.

As with every book in the Fantagraphics EC line, Doctor Of Horror And Other Stories superbly showcases these classic comic book masterpieces and enhances the reader's experience with commentary and historical and biographical detail from EC experts. Highlights in this volume include Ingels's very first EC story, two Ingels adaptations of stories by Edgar Allan Poe (including a clever twist on 'The Cask of Amontillado' that you won't see coming), and EC's first adaptation of a Ray Bradbury story. ![]() ![]() This volume features Ingels's earliest EC crime and horror work, from the pages of such titles as Tales From the Crypt, Haunt of Fear, Crime SuspenStories, and War Against Crime. Ingels set the standard for fiendishly delightful depictions of dripping slime, dismembered limbs, and shambling corpses. No artist captured that mood better and made his readers shudder more than 'Ghastly' Graham Ingels. EC horror comics are famous for their gleefully ghoulish stories and their outrageous twist endings - served up with a sly wink to the reader and a generous dose of dreadful puns. ![]() ![]() In these early times, publishing and reading might have carried a health warning.

For long periods, reading, like publishing, could be a dangerous business.
