On September 2, 1998, Swissair Flight 111 departed John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, bound for Geneva, Switzerland. Less than an hour later, while flying over the Atlantic near Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia (Canada), the aircraft encountered smoke in the cockpit and ultimately crashed into the ocean, killing all 229 passengers and crew aboard.
In Flight 111, Swiss comic artist Talel Aronowicz confronts the unspoken tragedy that has shaped her life. For decades, her grandparents’ deaths in that crash were a taboo–never spoken of, never understood. Through evocative artwork, journal-like reflections, and intimate storytelling, she explores grief, memory, and the long shadow of loss, bringing readers along as she pieces together what really happened and what it meant. This memoir blurs history and personal discovery into a moving graphic novel that touches the heart while shedding light on a real-world tragedy.

The Massachusetts Book Awards are annual awards given by the Massachusetts Center for the Book. The ‘Notable Contribution to Publishing‘ award considers the quality of the book as object—including production standards, design, and printing and goes to a Massachusetts publisher creating works of a high caliber.
The second annual Notable Contribution to Publishing Prize went to Somerville-based Bulgilhan Press’Slices of Life: A Comic Montage, by Qu. This graphic novel is a masterful collection of silent comics reveling in the quiet beauty of the small moments in life.
It’s been a real surprise and honor to see that Qu’s Slices of Life: A Comic Montage has not only received amazing widespread recognition, but also gained a much broader readership than we could have imagined. As an independent publisher, each release only occurs due to the monumental effort of very few people; the artists I have the privilege of publishing and I are forever intertwined by our shared love of comics and our labor. We’re over the moon for Qu’s work to be recognized with the second Notable Contribution to Publishing prize from the Massachusetts Book Awards, proving that one should approach their life with an open and curious mind.

Alex Ross, the award-winning and bestselling creator of Marvels, Kingdom Come, and Fantastic Four: Full Circle, takes readers through the Marvel Universe—but all is not as it seems Marvel Dimensions is legendary artist Alex Ross’ second book in the Marvel Arts series, following the national bestselling, critically acclaimed, and award-winning Fantastic Four: Full Circle.
The story opens with a sweeping tour through the classic origins of Marvel’s most iconic characters. Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and many others appear in dramatic, fully painted spreads that echo their earliest stories. A narrator describes each moment with confidence, guiding the reader through these touchstones of Marvel’s history. But as the story moves forward, the tone begins to shift. The voice behind the narration is not who the readers expect and carries a motive that slowly pushes the narrative somewhere darker and far more unpredictable. Once this change becomes clear, the book expands into something larger and more surprising.
Storylines twist in on themselves, characters behave in unexpected ways, and events ripple across the Marvel Universe with growing tensions. Ross uses the structure of the book to create anticipation and pull the reader deeper into a mystery that keeps widening. Every new sequence reveals another layer, building toward a final act that reframes everything that came before it. A bonus 32-page comic book is included that is pivotal to the storyline.
With Marvel Dimensions, Ross approaches the Marvel Universe from a new angle with new character invention that invites readers to question what they think and what they know. Marvel Dimensions may be the latest title in the Marvel Arts line . . . but it is only the beginning.
