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. But as far as Dotter Of Her Father's Eyes was concerned, billing itself as part personal history, part biography, […]
The Zombies That Ate The World Book 1: Bring Me Back My Head!
By Frissen & Davis Publisher: Humanoids ISBN: 978-1-59465-083-3 You'd be given if you said you'd had your fill of vampire, werewolf and zombie related vehicles for entertainment.

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. […]
The Wizard Of Id: 1971 Daily & Sunday Strips
By Parker and Hart Publisher: Titan ISBN: 9781848566835 These year-long collections seem to be picking up in popularity following the Peanuts and, more recent, Hagar books, so I expect we're going to see many more as we go into 2012. This particular collection takes us right back to the early appearances of the Kingdom of […]
