NOVEDADES

Being the Clown Prince of Crime’s dog doesn’t win him any friends behind bars, especially after he gets a tough-talking stray cat named Penny tossed into lockup with him. But they’ll have to work together to figure out what the evil Warden Shar Pei’s helper, Dr. Hugo Mange, is up to. And the only way to stop this terrifying team-up is to win the talent show and get visitation with their masters at Arkham on the hill. Because the Joker is sure to help! What could go wrong with that plan? And where does Gotham’s premier playboy Bruce Wayne’s butler Alfred fit in?

De músico, poeta y loco, todos tenemos... ¡MUY POCO! Ser artista es un privilegio que las circunstancias de la vida nos proveen, por lo tanto, gozar de los atributos que se requieren para ser músico o para ser poeta no son nada habituales. Quienes gozan de esas cualidades son seres verdaderamente escasos. Para ser músico es imprescindible, o tener buen oído o por lo menos saber solfear, luego elegir el instrumento con el que expondrá sus virtudes... y sabido es que no todos gozan de esas aptitudes. Para ser poeta es vital la lectura y la constante escritura creativa, acciones no muy usuales en el diario acontecer... no es fácil serlo. Cuando se habla de locura, normalmente se hace referencia a personas anormales (sinónimo de raros, poco común)... Hablamos entonces de seres especiales. Es fácil colegir que son pocos los elegidos que llegan a ser músicos (mucho menos ser buenos); tampoco son frecuentes los poetas (mucho menos ser buenos) y si descubrimos a alguien que posea todas esas condiciones y encima sea médico (y de los buenos), estaremos frente a un espécimen poco común, un bendecido por los dioses... Ahí dejo como ejemplo perfecto al Dr. Jimmy Barranco Ventura (músico, poeta, poco común y galeno de primera).

They say never meet your idols. But nothing about digging up their deepest secrets. Seventeen-year-old aspiring journalist Darren Purchase has been a lifelong fan of country music legend Decklee Cassel, who’s as famous for her classic hits as she is for her partnership with songwriter Mickenlee Hooper. The same Mickenlee who mysteriously backed out of the limelight at the height of their careers, never to be heard from again. Now Decklee’s televised funeral marks the unveiling of her long-awaited time capsule. But when it’s revealed to be empty, a trail of scavenger-hunt clues unfolds, leading to a whopping cash prize for whoever finds the real capsule. Darren knows there’s a story there—and she’s going to be the one to break it. Even if it means a spontaneous road trip with her coworker Kendall. Flashback to 1963, when a young runaway Decklee has her sights set on fame and glory. As she claws her way to the top over the years that follow, it’s Mickenlee’s lyrics that help rocket her to stardom. But as their relationship evolves beyond the professional, it threatens everything Decklee has worked for. What else will she sacrifice to hold on to her dreams?
