Today's book news is a grab bag of new releases and deep dives. A major interview with Joe Sacco about his new book leads the day, while a Whitney Houston biography reveals new details about her personal life. Comic previews fill out the rest.
Two very different books are getting attention today, one a work of graphic journalism and the other a pop star biography.
Joe Sacco's new book 'The Once and Future Riot' revisits the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots in India. The interview digs into how he approaches reporting through comics and why this story matters now.
A new biography called 'Holding Lightning' affirms Whitney Houston's early relationship with Robyn Crawford and examines what drove them apart. It's a rare look at a private part of her life.
A couple of comic previews round out the day, offering glimpses into upcoming issues.
Death Vigil #3 hits stores tomorrow. The preview teases Clara's allies and enemies blurring together, with Mia stirring up memories from Bernadette's past.
Land of Never #4 pits two fathers against Doctor Lily Williams while their children start a rebellion in a floating wonderland. Standard comic book fantasy fare.
