Dark Stories

(5)

‘‘Eighteen very dark stories that'll make you laugh and shiver at the same time. Like a twisted mirror, Alfonso Font's beautifully drawn stories show us - each of us - at our worst, depicting civilization as just a mask that hides the beast inside us. These cruel fables will remain with you...‘‘ Lire la suite

Foligatto

(2)

‘‘A sad, funny, disgusting, graceful, poetic, absurd, grotesque story whose strength lies in the one of a kind atmosphere. Nicolas de Crécy's art and Alexis Tjoyas's words bring to life a city where nothing happens (appropriately named Eccenihilo = "There Is Nothing" in Latin), whose...‘‘ Lire la suite

Papaya Salad

(1)

‘‘I love travel books. Papaya Salad is both a travelogue and a memoir - as such, it's making you travel both across the globe, from Bangkok to Rome to Berlin to Vienna to New York, and across time, from present day to Thailand in the 1920s or Europe in the 1940s. The author, Elisa...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Little Tulip

(177)

‘‘Chef-d'oeuvre? Presque. Le dessin de Boucq montre sans retenue les horreurs du Goulag et le devenir d'un petit garçon qui perd très vite toutes ses illusions. L'histoire alterne le passé et le présent pour éviter de surcharger le lecteur de grotesque et de malice, et même si l'enquête...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 2 Karmen

(2)

‘‘If you didn't read volume one before reading this review, please go and read it. The story works even if it's spoiled, but it works much much better if you just dive in. If you already read the first volume, you'll just want to read this anyway... but, yes, there IS a happy ending. Of...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Karmen

(2)

‘‘Karmen is a graphic novel you should read before you know what it’s about. I found it on a couple “best comics of 2020” end of year lists, so I jumped in, and I’m really glad I did. So trust me and read it - it’s a labor of love, painstakingly drawn, a portrait as much of a young girl in...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 2 Tanz!

(1)

‘‘So Uli spent the first volume dancing, loving, and (not quite) finding his way. This second volume packs the punch of the story, makes Uli more likeable, and clarifies some of the head-scratching moments in the first volume. It also paints a broad picture of the art scene in 1950s New...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Tanz!

(2)

‘‘Tanz! is the story of Uli, a freckled redhead boy that loves to dance, loves musicals, and (surprise?) loves boys. The first volume starts with a nightmare and ends with a broken heart. In between, Uli dances in the Folkwang arts school, dances in clubs, dances in his bedroom (alone or...‘‘ Lire la suite

The Shadow's Treasure

(2)

‘‘42 tiny fables written by Alejandro Jodorowsky (creator of The Incal, The Metabarons, The White Lama...) and illustrated by François Boucq (creator of The Keeper, The Bouncer, Moon Face...). The best of these very short stories are the ones where the illustration is so much more than...‘‘ Lire la suite
