The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists


Sophie Rickard - 1914

Nevermore


Keith Champagne - 2009

But Bobby will not allow even death to stand between him and his one true love. And if there’s no way on this Earth to bring her back, he’ll find another Earth. Devoting his vast fortune and an extraordinary team of scientists and visionaries to the task, Bobby finds the holy grail he so desperately seeks: proof that infinite parallel worlds exist in other dimensions–and the means to reach them. But his sideways journey through time–to mirror Earths where history and fate have taken shockingly different turns–is fraught with danger. A single misstep could leave the intrepid interdimensional traveler and his team hopelessly stranded on a parallel Earth subjugated by dictatorship, ravaged by barbarism, or worse. Every leap between alternate realities is a life-or-death gambit. But rescuing his lost love from a world where destiny has not doomed her is all that matters to Bobby Godric–until he encounters a monstrous alien race systematically annihilating humankind and claiming planet Earth, again and again, on a murderous march of conquest across the dimensions. Unless the multiverse of duplicate Earths can be rallied against the invaders, the next world to fall will be our own.Conceived by New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz and adapted and illustrated by a duo of Marvel and DC Comics veterans–writer Keith Champagne and artist Andy Smith–Nevermore is a marvelous flight into breathless suspense, mind-bending imagination, and chilling terror not to be missed.
