Ro-Busters: The Complete Nuts and Bolts: Vol. 2


Description

The robots are in revolt! The boss of Ro-Busters Howard Quartz also known as Mr. Ten Per Cent (90% of him is robotic), has seen his stocks plummet due to his involvement in the attempted demolition of Northpool. In order to stop from going bankrupt, Quartz plans to destroy a number of his robots in a staged accident, including Hammerstein & Ro-Jaws! Having gotten wind of Quartz's plan, the duo seek out the robot underground, who organise the safe evacuation of unwanted robots to a distant moon. Before long, it's man Vs machine in a battle for freedom! This action-packed finale to the Ro-Busters strip includes star-studded backup stories from Alan Moore, Steve Dillon and Bryan Talbot.

Kurozu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being Ro-Busters: The Complete Nuts and Bolts: Vol. 2 ebook pdf but by a pattern: "uzumaki," the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It manifests itself in small ways: seashells, ferns, whirlpools in water, whirlwinds in air. And in large ways: the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father, the voice from the cochlea in your inner ear. As the madness spreads, the inhabitants of Kurozu-cho are pulled ever deeper, as if into a whirlpool from which there is no return..." Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and the Beatles are all here, but Wald also discusses less familiar names like Paul Whiteman, Guy Lombardo, Mitch Miller, Jo Stafford, Frankie Avalon, and the Shirelles, who in some cases were far more popular than those bright stars we all know today, and who more accurately represent the mainstream of their times. "Wald's book is suave, soulful, ebullient and will blow out your speakers." -Tom Waits "Wald is a meticulous researcher, a graceful writer and a committed contrarian...An impressive accomplishment." -Peter Keepnews, New York Times Book Review "One of those rare books that aims to upend received wisdom and actually succeeds." -Kirkus Reviews "It is as an alternative, corrective history of American music that Wald's book is invaluable. It forces us to see that only by studying the good with the bad-and by seeing that the good and bad can't be pulled apart-can we truly grasp the greatness of our cultural legacy." -Malcolm Jones, Newsweek "Wald wears his scholarship lightly, but his ideas and insights are substantial...The attention-grabbing title, for all its counterintuitive appeal, gives scant indication of the book's ambitions and achievements.
