By Morris Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849181419 For this volume Cinebook is taking us way back to the early days of Lucky Luke, back to a time before Goscinny came on board as the writer and when all the creative chores were down to Morris alone. It's obvious that this is a strip still attempting to […]

Iznogoud vol 10: Iznogoud The Relentless
By Goscinny and Tabary Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849181815 Iznogoud's back with another collection of surreal but funny short stories. Goscinny's punchy scripts hang each tale's premise around some magical quirk, event or person, making each an extended comedy sketch, but always with one outcome in mind – to make Iznogoud Caliph instead of the Caliph.

The Scorpion Vol 4: The Treasure Of The Templars
By Marini and Desberg Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849180467 I've said before now how much I'm enjoying The Scorpion series and I think this is largely down to Marini and Desberg's talent and hard work manifesting itself with such spirit and intelligence upon the page.

This is the second book about the sword-weilding 18th Century archaeologist and adventurer, known as the Scorpion because of the strange birthmark upon his shoulder. It is exquisitely illustrated and there’s a nice mix of action, intrigue, desperation […]
Lucky Luke 37: Fingers
By Morris & Lo Hartog Van Banda Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849181389 After Goscinny sadly died the Lucky Luke books continued under a host of writers and, more recently, with a completely new creative team (see Lucky Luke Versus The Pinkertons). Goscinny certainly brings something to Lucky Luke that is very difficult to replace, but this […]
