By Dubois & Armand Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800440531 Cinebook has put out a lot of great books, but it’s their Expresso line that’s really shown off some excellent stories from Europe. Texas Jack – a western, as it title might suggest – follows that trend by giving us another palpable hit. Greed and power have […]

The Fortune Of The Winczlavs: 3. Danitza, 1965
By Van Hamme & Berthet Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441170 The disparate parts of the future fortune of Largo Winch are rapidly coming together, thanks to the cunning, shrewdness, and, occasionally, downright underhandedness of Nerio.

Thorgal Vol 24: The Battle Of Asgard
By Rosinski & Sente Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849184946 Thorgal has been one of Cinebook’s gems, a series that has defied expectations with every new book. I’d read about some dissatisfaction with the Jolan-led stories when they were initially published, but I’ve not had too much of an issue with them. This is probably largely due […]

Lonesome 3: The Ties Of Blood
By Yves Swolfs Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800440814 I’ve been really enjoying getting my teeth into this series. On the face of it, it’s a dyed-in-the-wool western, with all the gunslinging, treachery and action you’d expect. Somehow, though, there’s a twist of the supernatural in it too, and yet it’s so underplayed that it doesn’t derail […]
Spirou & Fantasio 20: The Dark Side Of The Z
By Yoann & Vehlmann Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441033 A nice touch about Cinebook’s English translations of these books is the alternating between contemporary creators and the older stories. That could, quite easily, become confusing, but it’s handled with a thoughtful dexterity that allows them to blend seamlessly. In this latest book, Zorglub is back, and […]
