By Dubois & Armand Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800440548 This concluding part to the tale contains some really incredible art. 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.

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 […]
Asterios: The Minotaur
By Le Tendre & Peynet Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441156 I had absolutely no idea that the minotaur from Greek mythology had a name. Serge Le Tendre did, and his fascination for the Greek tales has captivated his imagination since childhood. This fascination led him to read the stories in depth and discover details that aren’t […]
