Buddha : A Story of Enlightenment

When young Siddhartha was told never to leave the walls of his palace, he thought it was his father's enemies he had to fear. He was wrong. Curiosity led him to leave the protection of his walls and venture forth, seeking answers to questions he didn't know. He found them in the eyes of the poor and the desolate, in the dying and the old, in the plague-ridden and the greedy. He found these answers and fled, running from his family and people to find more answers. Why does Mankind deserve these plagues, he asked. Why do men age and die? Why do some others kill for money, while others mourn over the long dead? Why does Mankind suffer? He found a tree in Gaya and sat underneath it, meditating for years in search of the answers to life, the universe and everything. When he found them, he found something men have looked for eons without success, Enlightenment. On the foundation of his teachings stands one of the largest religions of the world. Gautama Siddhartha was no more just a man, he was more, much more. Men began calling him Enlightened One, Buddha. This graphic novel visits the story of one of the greatest men to have ever walked the Earth and tells his story like it never has before.

Target Tirpitz

The Tirpitz was Hitler′s greatest weapon. The largest battleship in Europe, ′the Beast′ as Churchill called it was reputed to be unsinkable. Lurking off Norway, it threatened vital convoys to Russia, tied up key British resources and - despite firing its guns only once - cast an almost supernatural shadow over the war effort. Nothing in the Allied armoury could compete. So profound was the ship′s psychological effect that, in 1942, rumour of its presence scattered an Allied convoy, leaving undefended 35 merchantmen, 24 of which were sunk. The fear ′the Beast′ inspired would stoke an Allied obsession: to sink the Tirpitz, at any cost. Many men, over many years, would attempt what came to seem almost impossible. In total 13 major operations were launched. Midget submarines planted explosives beneath her hull, with no lasting damage. Bold attacks by Fairey Barracudas dive-bombers had little effect. It was not until 1944 that a daring raid by the RAF, under the command of one of the heroes of the Dambusters raid, finally destroyed this potent symbol of Hitler′s ambition. Willie Tait had flown with Leonard Cheshire and Guy Gibson during the destruction of the Ruhr dams. However the third Dambuster consistently shunned the spotlight and his story till now has never been told. With exclusive access to Tait′s personal papers, best-selling historian Patrick Bishop brings to life one of the most daring missions of the Second World War in the words of the extraordinary men and women whose courage and single-minded dedication would strike a vital blow against the Nazis and hasten Allied victory.
