In CRY BLOODY MURDER, author Martin Karlin takes the reader through a hectic spy mystery. Matt and Nancy Wolpat are vacationing in Paris when Matt inadvertently is drawn into an espionage plot involving not only the local police and French Intelligence, but also the United States' authorities. Weiskopf of the FBI is as determined as Franks of French Intelligence to bring about a resolution advantageous to his career and country. The action begins immediately and quickly captivates the reader's imagination and emotions. Karlin is a master of descriptive writing, and I could easily visualize each character and location in the novel. In addition to the action scenes, personal relationships were also well developed. The book flows well and kept me in suspense throughout. It was difficult to put the book down, as each chapter left me wanting more. I would love to see a movie version! (Rating 5 stars of 5) -Patricia Althoff Bridewell, Dr.

This book is part of a nuanced two-volume examination of the ways in which violence in comics is presented in different texts, genres, cultures and contexts. Representing Acts of Violence in Comics raises questions about depiction and the act of showing violence, and discusses the ways in which individual moments of violence develop, and are both represented and embodied in comics and graphic novels. Contributors consider the impact of gendered and sexual violence, and examine the ways in which violent acts can be rendered palatable (for example through humour) but also how comics can represent trauma and long lasting repercussions for both perpetrators and victims. This will be a key text and essential reference for scholars and students at all levels in Comics Studies, and Cultural and Media Studies more generally.
