By Conrad & Wilbur Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800440159 I was wrong-footed by this one. I know, I know, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Regardless, the illustration style made me think this was something akin to Cinebook’s Papyrus series, and so intended for a younger audience. More the fool me. It’s certainly darker […]

Amazonia: Episode 3
By Rodolphe, Leo & Marchal Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441538 With the off-grid setting of the Amazon rainforest, exacerbated by the time period (no satellite or mobile phones), this series continues to explore the mystery of the unknown so brilliantly captured in Leo’s Aldebaran books.

Ably supported by Jidéhem on backgrounds, with a script by Greg, this one’s got spies, wacky inventions, and, best of all, […]
Arkadi & The Lost Titan
By Caza Publisher: Humanoids ISBN: 9798893577198 This is quite a book. Created by Caza back in the 1989, this story took over two decades to complete and, up until now, there’s been no English translation. In that time Caza’s illustrative style and techniques have changed along with the industry and the processes it uses to […]
