By Achdé, Pennac & Benacquista Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 978-1-84918-098-6 Always good to see a new Lucky Luke book, and I was quite looking forward to this one having seen it promoted for some time. When it arrived, instead of the usual Morris signature upon the cover there's this: 'Achdé, Pennac & Benacquista in the style […]

Giles – The Collection 2012
By Giles Publisher: Hamlyn ISBN: 978-0-600-62409-7 You really don't need me to introduce you to Giles, so I shan't waste your time on that score. This year's collection is, somewhat bizarrely, introduced by Adam Hart-Davis. I have nothing against the fella, but not really sure what it adds to the book. The collection is broken […]
Dotter Of Her Father’s Eyes
By Mary M Talbot & Bryan Talbot Publisher: Jonathan Cape ISBN: 978-0-224-09608-9 Bryan Talbot's versatility is beyond question encompassing a rich body of work tackling subjects from the intimately personal to the vastness of the multiverse.

There have been rather a few over recent years and the promise of more to come. So for this reason alone there's every reason you wouldn't want to […]
XIII: El Cascador (vol 10)
By Rosinski and Van Hamme Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 978-1-84918-102-0 Hard to believe we're past the half-way mark already on this series, not that the creators have let it stunt the work at all. Rather than falling into a predictive rut, Van Hamme continues to pull out surprises and send our expectations off in the wrong […]
Thorgal Vol 11: The Invisible Fortress
By Rosinski and Van Hamme Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 978-1-84918-103-7 A new Thorgal arriving still generates a buzz of excitement with me. Rosinski's adept art and Van Hamme's insistence on taking the story into the unexpected make it a continuously inventive series. We join Thorgal still apart from his family and travelling with Kris of Valnor. […]
