La Jolla, Wildstorm 2004, cm.17,5x26,5, pp.96, hardcover. High above the planet, aboard a fifty-mile-wide alien vessel, The Authority - seven awesomely powerful super-humans - act as global bouncers for the human race. If you threaten the life and liberty of Earth's inhabitants, they'll do whatever they need to do to set things straight! With the President out to discreetly dispose of them and a seemingly global depression epidemic on their hands, it's only a matter of time before The Authority are forced to react...This stand-alone story is by the brilliant new creative team of acclaimed novelist, screenwriter and journalist John Ridley and up-and-coming artist Ben Oliver.

New York, Vertigo 2004, cm.17x26, pp.128, paperback. Guided by the outstanding writing talents of Brian K. Vaughan (Swamp Thing, Ultimate X-Men) and rising star artist Pia Guerra, this acclaimed, genre-busting and controversial series continues apace! After a devastating plague, Yorrick Brown is the last man left alive in a world of women. On the run from Amazon extremists who would be happy to see him dead, his friends leave him in the care of Agent 711. But 711 is not the tragic woman she seems to be and Yorrick is propelled into a drug-fuelled nightmare of blood and sadism. Stretching the graphic novel envelope again, the fourth volume in the series shows why this title continues to be held in such high regard.
