Wicket and Kneesaa, two furry Ewok children who live on the tiny moon Endor, catch a pair of giant Phlogs in the act of cutting down the ancient forest revered by the Ewoks.
Based on the children's television cartoon series, Droids and Ewoks explores further adventures in the lives of the Ewoks on Endor and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. The Ewoks become embroiled in the dangers of their planet—lizard warriors, underwater kingdoms, magic spells—and the outside world—pirates, invaders, and more! The droids encounter more than one new master, war droids, megaweapons, time travel, and even Ewoks! This omnibus collects, for the first time, all the issues of the Ewoks and Star Wars: Droids comics series, released in the 1980s by Marvel's imprint Star Comics.
Tommy Quinn is a recent Georgetown grad who has just landed the job of his dreams as an investment banker as J. S. Spenser, and the perfect girl, Frances Sloan, the daughter of one of New York’s oldest moneyed families. As he travels from the most exclusive ballrooms of the Racquet and Tennis Club to the stuffiest boardrooms of J. S. Spenser, from the golf links of Piping Rock to the bedrooms of Park Avenue, and from the debauched yacht of a Mexican billionaire to the Ritalin-strewn prep school dorm room of his younger brother, he finds that neither the job nor girl are what they once seemed. Set against the backdrop of money, lust, power, corruption, cynicism, energy, and excitement that is Wall Street, Dana Vachon’s debut is suffused with an authenticity that only an author who lives in the world it portrays could provide. With Mergers & Acquisitions, he delivers a stylish and hilarious tale of the lives and loves of well-to-do young Manhattanites in their first year on Wall Street. Sharp, fast-paced, and bitingly witty, Mergers & Acquisitions is destined to become one of the year’s most buzzed-about debuts.
