Zombie shops and slackers at summer camp

New graphic novels this month feature a lab experiment gone disastrously awry, a beautiful young Japanese woman who can raise the dead, Nikolai Dante (thief, brigand and bastard son of the Romanovs), a camp counselor in 1979 Quebec, and a desert road trip. Comic great Will Eisner's The plot : the secret story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion dramatises the anti-Semitic hoax, exploring its twisted history from nineteenth-century Russia to modern-day Ku Klux Klan members and Islamic fundamentalists.
