Five outstanding cartoonists (Rutu Modan, Yirmi Pinkus, Mira Friedmann, Batia Kolton, & Itzik Rennert), who pool their talents annually to produce something simply amazing. It's our honor to present to you their newest dual releases: "FLIPPER Vol-1" and "FLIPPER Vol-2." FLIPPER Vol-1 features two original graphic novellas, SPEAKING OF THE DEVIL by Itzik Rennert and BLOOD ENGAGEMENT by Mira Friedmann, as well a special, full-color supplement by Batia Kolton, entitled DEEP STUFF. In these novellas, Rennert explores the reasons for good an evil through a student's eyes in Hell, and Friedmann explores the motivations of a Renaissance woman who encounters a bloody proposal she simply can't refuse. FLIPPER Vol-2 features two more original graphic novellas, THE SISTERS D'ESPARD by Yirmi Pinkus and BYGONE by Rutu, as well as another full-color supplement by Batia Kolton, entitled LOSERS OF DOLLYLAND. In THE SISTERS D'ESPARD, Pinkus tells the tale of an opera diva addicted to seances, who comes to Tel Aviv to perform the role of a lifetime - the Night Queen on Motzart's Magic Flute. On the eve of the premiere, a spooky message arrives from the other side. And in BYGONE, Rutu explores the lives of three tragically orphaned sisters who run a theme hotel in a small town. When a handsome photographer comes to stay, he ends up awakening secrets from the past. ... Don't miss this excellent set from the premier Israeli comics team.… (more)

Actus is a group of five Israeli graphic artists (Rutu Modan, Yirmi Pinkus, Batia Kolton, Itzik Rennert and Mira Friedmann) who publish together in order to reach a wider audience than they could individually. This is part 1 of "Flipper" by Actus (the title because when you get to the end of one story, you need to flip the book over for the other stories) and in this part, Rennert, Friedmann, and Kolton present one story each. Friedmann's is a historic story about the plague and the persecution "suspects" would suffer, Kolton's is based on a true story about death and burial, and Rennert's is about Hell's figuratively freezing over. All three stories showcase their respective artists very well and one could only wish for more - and longer - stories in the future. ( )
