"With the rise of new creators who emphasized their own individual voices while also focusing on their characters' inner lives, Marvel Comics in the 1970s laid the groundwork for the next decade's breakthroughs, expanding our sense of what the comics medium can do and what the superhero genre makes possible"-- Marvel Comics in the 1970s explores a forgotten chapter in the story of the rise of comics as an artform. Bridging Marvel's dizzying innovations and the birth of the underground comix scene in the 1960s and the rise of the prestige graphic novel and postmodern superheroics in the 1980s, Eliot Borenstein reveals a generation of comic book writers whose work at Marvel in the 1970s established their own authorial voice within the strictures of corporate comics.Through a diverse cast of heroes (and the occasional antihero)—Black Panther, Shang-Chi, Deathlok, Dracula, Killraven, Man-Thing, and Howard the Duck—writers like Steve Gerber, Doug Moench, and Don McGregor made unprecedented strides in exploring their characters' inner lives. Visually, dynamic action was still essential, but the real excitement was taking place inside their heroes' heads. Told with enthusiasm, insight, and affection, Marvel Comics in the 1970s highlights the brilliant and sometimes gloriously imperfect creations that laid the groundwork for the medium's later artistic achievements and the broader acceptance of comic books in the cultural landscape today.

The Medici court painter Botticelli is one of the most brilliant artists of the Italian Renaissance alongside Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Favouring feminine portraits, Botticelli stands apart through the finesse of his lines and the unbridled sensuality of his paintings. Between religious and private commissions, this Florentine artist introduced the profane into art through works of complex mythological subjects, such as the incontrovertibly masterful Primavera and The Birth of Venus, and knew how to delight the erudite patrons of art. The Madonna of the Magnificat remains one of the most beautiful depictions of the Virgin ever achieved. Between the delicacy of the Renaissance and the exuberance of Mannerism, the richness and refinement of the works of Botticelli are the magnificent legacy of a master.

In the year 3075, Earth can barely sustain life. After years of space exploration, Captain/Commander William Samuel Hart and his crew from the International Space Exploration Command onboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln discover a solar system called Calsisko. The system consists of twelve habitable planets. Unfortunately, the Redtiska, an evil and highly advanced alien race, rule Calsisko. The objective of the Redtiska is to conquer the universe and enslave all life forms. They came to Calsisko and defeated the original inhabitants -- the Spikecons, Crabpols, and Sqaureplex - in only six weeks. The Captain/Commander and his crew join forces with the Universal Peace Alliance, comprised of five alien races from systems outside of Calsisko. The goal of the U.P.A. is to defeat the Redtiska. Compromising the efforts of the U.P.A. are human emotions and passions, including a forbidden affair. Twenty-one-year-old author, Brett T. Mazzoni, incorporates detailed alien cultures and advanced technology in his first Science Fiction novel. The ending to Calsisko Volume I: The Beginning of the War leaves readers eager for the next book of the trilogy.
