"Following White Rapids—named “Best Comic of 2007” by The Onion—Pascal Blanchet brings us Baloney. Winds swirl and darkness reigns over a hamlet perched atop a craggy peak. Russian fatalism sets the tone as Blanchet orchestrates the tale of a village butcher, his disabled daughter, and her tutor, in their doomed uprising against the swaggering Duke Shostakov, local governor and owner of the only heating company in town.

Curvy, retro lines and atmospheric, full-page panels evoke plaintive melodies, staccato passages and soaring solos. In a graphic novel about love and despair that is also a homage to the music of the 1930s and 40s, double bassists and trombonists lean into the frame, striking up a score that blends vaudeville with Kurt Weill and Russia’s great modern composers." -fra omslaget

Nyoversatt og innbundet - dette er en aldeles strøken utgave av Pratts klassiker.
    
    
"Med Mu sluttede Hugo Pratt sit epos om ”Sømanden fra Malta” med det klingende navn Corto Maltese, og historien slutter samtidig en cirkel for vores helt.

Pratt så en mulighed for at udforske flere af karaktererne i Corto Malteses univers, og lader alle Cortos venner - Steiner, Levi Colombo og Rasputin bare for at nævne nogle - drage ud på et togt efter det forsvundne rige MU, også kendt som Atlantis." -Faraos Cigarer

"Før Inkalen er historien om hvordan John Difool fik sin Detektiv Licens og en beskrivelse af hans noget aparte barndom. Den ligger sig i sagens natur tæt op af den klassiske Inkalen og fungere som en prequel. Jodorowsky er vanen tro en skarp samfundssatiriker og læseren får et dybere indblik i den syge verden som John Difool lever i." -Faraos Cigarer

"Eamon Espey's Wormdye is a collection of interwoven tales that deftly illustrate the fever-pitched anxiety of modern life. With locales as varied as the River Styx, The Vatican, the island of Aegina and the Mitchell Corn Palace, Wormdye follows Marco, Tommy and others as they engage in the human struggle: work, religion, death and human sacrifice. Bleak and darkly funny, Wormdye uses myths and iconographic visuals to evoke a world-view that is both absorbing and upsetting, tragic and triumphant." -Secret Acres

"From Brian Wood (Demo, DMZ, Northlanders) and Ryan Kelly (Lucifer, American Virgin, The New York Four) comes Local, a collection of twelve interconnected short stories, each featuring Megan McKeenan, a young woman who sets out from Portland, Oregon with nothing but a rucksack and a bad case of wanderlust.

 

These emotional vignettes each represent a year in the life of this young vagabond as she searches for a place to call home, both physically and spiritually. Set in twelve real life cities across North America, this painstakingly researched and meticulously illustrated volume collects for the first time the critically acclaimed series that writer Brian K. Vaughan (Lost, Runaways, Y: The Last Man) called "the sharpest slices of life the medium has ever seen."" -fra omslaget
