LEttEr From tHE EDitorIn the � ve years since we launched Abrams ComicArts in Spring 2009, so much has happened. We’ve published close to � � y books—a mixture of graphic novels, collections, and “art of” monographs. We’ve had two New York Times bestsellers (Economix and Raven Girl), and two National bestsellers (My Friend Dahmer and Gonzo: A Graphic Biography of Hunter S. Thompson).
We’ve received two Eisner awards (The Art of Harvey Kurtzman and The Carter Family: Don't Forget This Song) and eighteen nominations; and three Harvey Awards (The Art of Osamu Tezuka, The Art of Harvey Kurtzman, and The Art of Jaime Hernandez) and thirty-two nominations. The recognition Abrams ComicArts has received from the comics community and our fans has been humbling and inspiring.
Through it all, ComicArts has remained commi� ed to our mission: bringing readers award-winning graphic novels and art books that illuminate the world of comics and comics art, and maintaining the � ne-art tradition for which ABRAMS is known, while de� ning the medium for generations to come.
We have even more beautifully produced and authoritatively wri� en illustrated books coming your way—and surprises even we can’t anticipate as we develop the list and sharpen our pencils in preparation.
Enjoy, Charles Kochman Editorial Director, Abrams ComicArts

climate changedA Personal Journey through the SciencePhilippe SquarzoniIntroduction by Nicole Whittington-Evans
What are the causes and consequences of climate change? When the scale is so big, can an individual make any di� erence? Documentary, diary, and masterwork graphic novel, this up-to-date look at our planet and how we live on it explains what global warming is all about. With the most complicated concepts made clear by investigative journalist and artist Philippe Squarzoni, Climate Changed weaves together scienti� c research, extensive interviews with experts, and a call for action. Weighing the potential of some solutions and the false promises of others, this groundbreaking work provides a realistic, balanced view of the magnitude of the crisis that An Inconvenient Truth only touched on.

“ Great scholarship on all facets of the climate problem. . . . An extremely well-documented work. A true feast.” — Jean Jouzel, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

All the calculations lead to the same conclusion: our emissions of greenhouse gases will lead to an in-crease in the average overall temperature of the planet.
furthermore, this future
trend is in part
irreversible.
Once set loose into the atmosphere, greenhouse gases
take much too long to eliminate.
As long as the emissions are greater than the planet’s natural absorption capacity, those gases accumulate in the atmosphere and stay there for tens or
even hundreds of years.
Even if we immediately cut off all CO2 emissions, its concentration will
decrease only very slowly.
For example, it would take between 100 and 400 years to drop from 750 ppm to 500 ppm.
and thousands of years to get from there back to today’s levels.
Whatever the scenario, the forecasts for 2100 represent only a part of the warming
to come.
In every scenario, the temperature will continue to rise for several centuries.

the Warren commision reportA Graphic Investigation into the Kennedy Assassination Dan Mishkin, Ernie Colón, and Jerzy DrozdIntroduction by Richard Reeves
Within days of the murder of President John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson appointed a seven-member commis-sion to investigate the assassination. In its report, the Warren Commission determined that there was “no credible evidence” con� icting with its conclusion of a lone gunman. Artist Ernie Colón, illustrator of bestseller The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation, teams up with author Dan Mishkin to provide a unique means of testing the commission’s � ndings, unraveling con� icting narratives through graphic-novel techniques, and breaking down how decisions in the days that followed the assassination helped foster the conspiracy theories that play a part in American politics to this day.

“ Hilarious, action-packed, andheartwarming in equal measure.” — Kazu Kibuishi,
writer/illustrator of Amulet
sing No EvilJP Ahonen & KP AlareTwenty-something guitarist Aksel stutters when he sings, and the latest reviews say he has the voice of a crow with throat plague. That’s not a compliment, even for the avant-garde music his band Perkeros plays. Aksel is having a hard time keeping the band together, stopping his girlfriend from kicking him out, and not getting eaten by his drummer (who happens to be a cranky brown bear). There are also the rival bands that Perkeros find them-selves in battle with to save the city from supernatural forces set loose by ancient music. The key to it all could be in the music Aksel hears in his dreams—if it doesn’t drive him mad first. With a visual soundtrack that blasts off the page, Sing No Evil is a wild ride through otherworldly dangers and the power of pure rock ’n’ roll.color illustrations throughout • 192 pages

the art of the simon and Kirby studioJoe Simon and Jack KirbySelected and edited by Mark EvanierAfterword by Jim Simon
The names Joe Simon and Jack Kirby are synonymous with comic books, their partnership ushering in the Golden Age of comics starting in the 1940s. Together they created memorable characters such as Captain America and Boy Commandos, invented romance comics, and raised the standard for the genres of western, crime, and horror comic books. Over the course of three decades they wrote and illustrated several hundred comics, many of which are reproduced in this oversized volume covering all aspects of their amazing career. Selected and edited by historian Mark Evanier, author of the award-winning monograph Kirby: King of Comics, the book includes original art from Joe Simon’s private archive, including rare and unpublished covers and stories—showcasing the artistry of the Simon and Kirby Studio as it has never been seen before. 350 full color illustrations • 384 pages
