Jens Harder's "Leviathan" (NBM/Comics Lit; 144pp) has an international flavor. Created by a German artist and released on both sides of the Atlantic, it has been written in the boundless language of wordless comix, except for the chapter headings that appear in four different languages. It features the creature of the title, a giant sperm whale, as it swims through disparate oceans, encountering man and beast through the ages.

From its helm and in his weekly newspaper column, he skewered high-placed crooks and urged his fellow citizens to demand fair play in business and politics. Two weeks before he died of cancer in Brisbane aged 57, he wrote to friends that P.N.G. needed people with...
...souls went all tremulous at the prospect of the sequel. Now Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1, which earned $70 million at the domestic box office and $100 million abroad, is joined by Vol. 2--not so much a sequel to the story as the completion of a chapter...
