Iznogoud & The Jigsaw Turk (Vol 11)
By Goscinny & Tabary Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849182096 I like Iznogoud a lot. I like its punchy, clipped storytelling, its absurdly farcical set-ups, its rapid wit and Tabary’s manic cartooning.

Barracuda Vol 3: Duel

[…]

A spacecraft is on route to Aldebaran to deliver thousands of colonists when it […]
Red Baron Vol 2: Rain of Blood
By Veys & Puerta Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849182119 Using an intriguing art style and a fictional take on a real historical figure, the first volume certainly hooked me in. Puerta is audaciously combining digital painting with manipulated period photography to generate an immersive and atmospheric tone that further blurs the lines between fact and fiction. […]
