Call me Bill [graphic novel] / by Richards, Lynette,author,artist.;
"It was April 1, 1873. In the middle of the night, Sarah Jane spotted flares off the coast of her island home. She woke her father, who quickly gathered their neighbours. Over the next several hours, rescuers pulled 429 traumatized survivors out of the wreckage of the SS Atlantic. But 535 people didn't survive, including Bill, a sailor. However, this story isn't about death--it's about living. Swapping out their dress for a pair of pants, Bill had run away from New Jersey in search of adventure, anonymity, and a place in the world. Everything seemed to fall into place when they were hired to work on a cargo steamer--but it didn't take long for Bill to discover that they weren't quite as anonymous as they thought. In Call Me Bill, debut graphic novelist Lynette Richards explores the history behind the worst maritime disaster of the 19th century, and uncovers the remarkable life story of a tenacious adventurer called Bill. This story explores identity, courage, and the radical imagination of someone who took huge risks to live an authentic life that others would have had difficulty imagining."--

Shubeik lubeik [graphic novel] / by Muḥammad, Deena,author,illustrator,translator.; translation of:Muḥammad, Dīnā.Shubbīk lubbīk.English.;
"A brilliant and imaginative debut graphic novel that brings to life a fantastical Cairo where wishes are real. Author, illustrator, and translator Deena Mohamed presents a literary, feminist, Arab-centric graphic novel that marries magic and the socio-political realities of contemporary Egypt. Shubeik Lubeik-a fairytale rhyme meaning "Your Wish is My Command" in Arabic-is the story of three characters navigating a world where wishes are literally for sale; mired in bureaucracy and the familiar prejudices of our world, the more expensive the wish, the more powerful and therefore the more likely to work as intended. The novel's three distinct parts tell the story of three first class wishes as used by Aziza, Nour, and Shokry, each grappling with the challenge inherent in trying to make your most deeply held desire come true. Deena's mix of calligraphy and contemporary styles, brings to life a vibrant Cairene neighborhood, and a cast of characters whose struggles and triumphs are deeply resonant. Shubeik Lubeik heralds the arrival of a huge new talent and a brave, literary, political, and feminist new voice in comics"--
