By Franquin, Jidéhem and Greg Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441354 This volume sees a leap back to an older Spirou and Fantasio tale, which is fine by me as it means we’re getting more Franquin.

Arkadi & The Lost Titan
By Caza Publisher: Humanoids ISBN: 9798893577198 This is quite a book.

In a book full of mustachiode, bearded and hat-wearing characters it would be easy to lose track of who was who, but the character design and skilled visual storytelling cut through all that to deliver a […]
Amazonia Episode 1
By Rodolphe, Leo & Marchal Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441316 What began as the series Kenya, and continued in Namibia, makes a very welcome return with Amazonia.
