1932ref. 30203New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Good. c.1932. First Edition. Hardcover. lacking the original dust jacket but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing general shelfwear and some deterioration to cloth at base of spine but generally a good sound copy. 4 B&W film stills Novelization of the 1932 film starring Jean Harlow who appears in all four of the stills illustrating the text a gangster tale that was about as down-and-urban-gritty as M-G-M ever got. Warner Bros. was the more natural habitat for this sort of picture. The film represented one of Burnett's earliest Hollywood story credits the actual dialogue being supplied by John Lee Mahin himself no slouch in the hard-boiled department. A terrific feature of this book is an 18-page "Underworld Glossary" with definitions and even occasionally etymological mini-essays for several hundred terms some of them fabulously arcane. Bet you don't know what it means to "Norton-and-Egan" somebody; just hope it never happens to you. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing. .

2015ref. 90033Berkeley CA: Image Comics Inc 2015. First Printing Stated. Wraps. Very good. Jonathan Luna illustrations lettering and design. The format is approximately 6.625 inches by 10.125 inches. Unpaginated 128 pages reported Illustrated covers. This volume contains issues/stories 6-10. "Luna and Vaughn's sensitive plot and careful pacing keep it exciting especially as they strip away preconceived notions and use the tale to examine the complexities of what it is to be human. Luna's illustrations match the plot perfectly particularly his ability to bring nuance and feeling to faces rendered in a very simple style" -Booklist In the second volume of this hit series tensions rise between humans and robots in this sci-fi/drama set in the near future. Alex took a huge risk to unlock Ada and it seems to have paid off - Ada can now think for herself and explore life as a sentient android. As Alex and Ada spend more time together they become closer. But as restrictions tighten on androids Ada feels unsure about her place in Alex's life and the world. Jonathan Luna co-created and illustrated The Sword Girls and Ultra with his brother Joshua Luna. He co-created and illustrated ALEX ADA with Sarah Vaughn. He wrote and illustrated Star Bright and the Looking Glass. His work also includes the art for Spider-Woman: Origin. Jonathan spent most of his childhood overseas living on military bases in Iceland and Italy. He returned to the United States in his late teens. Writing and drawing comics since he was a child he graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Sequential Art. Sarah Vaughn is an artist writer over-thinker. She's penciled Sparkshooter and co-created ALEX ADA with Jonathan Luna for Image Comics. Alex Ada is an American comic book series created by Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn. The duo began work on the series in January 2013 before publishing 15 issues through Image Comics between November 2013 and June 2015. The series has since been collected into three trade paperbacks. Alex Ada centers upon the relationship between a lonely man and an intelligent android. The series received positive reviews from critics. While working on a book Luna realized he missed telling a story panel by panel and decided to return to comics. Luna pitched the idea of a young man who falls in love with a female android to Vaughn. Vaughn jumped at the opportunity. After initializing the concept in January 2013 the two discussed the project for three or four months before creating an outline for the whole story. The original outline was for 12 issues but it left room for improvisation and a few points were removed as the story progressed. They looked at past and present social movements for civil rights for inspiration for how one would progress and how people might respond to a movement for android rights. Luna wrote the first draft of issue one then the two worked together to rewrite it. Luna began drawing around April. Alex Ada is the first comic Luna drew completely digitally. Because Luna needed to focus on art Vaughn wrote the first draft of the remaining issues. She and Luna would discuss the draft then she would rewrite it. The first issue of Alex Ada was released on November 6 2013 and was Vaughn's first published comic work. During the course of publication the series length was increased from 12 issues to 15 issues. Each issue was released approximately six weeks apart with the final issue available June 18 2015. The series has been collected into three trade paperbacks each containing five issues. Alex is a young man who is depressed after his fiancée breaks up with him. Tired of seeing him unhappy Alex's grandmother sends him Ada a Tanaka X-5 android which is capable of intelligent human interaction. The robot is initially incapable of self-awareness as each android has a program that blocks any potential free thought or consciousness. Alex decides to remove this inhibition and grant Ada her own mental freedom as he is uninterested in a partner who cannot truly interact with him. Because removing the program is illegal and carries harsh consequences for both Ada and Alex they have to pretend Ada is not self-aware. When a jealous love-interest of Alex reports Ada as sentient to the FBI Alex and Ada attempt to flee the country. When they are intercepted by the FBI Ada gets shot by the police and Alex is arrested. He is convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison but Ada is not found to be sentient. During his time in prison rights are granted to sentient robots. On Alex's release Ada is returned to him. She appears to be non-sentient but Alex discovers she locked her consciousness to protect him. He restores her freedom and is re-united with her. During its publication Alex Ada appeared on many "best of" lists created by comic news websites. Reviewing for Bleeding Cool Zac Thompson and David Dissanayake made favorable comparisons to the 1982 film Blade Runner and the 2013 film Her. Dissanayake also noted the entertaining realism as it "feels like our world full of technologies that.will exist very soon". Comic Book Resources' Sonia Harris also praised the series for its realism. Dean Stell a reviewer for Weekly Comic Book Review said Luna and Vaughn created "a wonderful and classically-themed science-fiction story". Writing for Bloody Disgusting Lonnie Nadler said Luna's work on facial expressions was the "major highlight" of his illustrations. Image Comics, Inc paperback
