By Morris, Fauche and Léturgie Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800441125 It’s probably a stretch to expect that most folk under forty, let alone the youth of today, will know that there was once a canine movie star called Rin Tin Tin. The hound was so popular that he starred in 27 films from 1922 until 1931. […]

Texas Jack Book 2
By Dubois & Armand Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781800440548 This concluding part to the tale contains some really incredible art.

With publishers increasingly playing it safe with what they put out, it’s a phenomenon that seems to happen less and less. I can recall delighting in the discovery […]
Lonesome Vol 2: The Ruffians
By Yves SwolfsPublisher: CinebookISBN: 9781800440012 After a very strong opening volume we rush headlong into book two. Our nameless hero (he’s not the man with no name, he just likes to tell folk his name won’t mean anything to them) is locked up in the jailhouse awaiting his fate. A fresh bunch of corrupted men […]
