What I read last…
December 2011.
Du Plomb Dans La Tête, by Colin Wilson and Matz.
This time I'm writing about the black & white collection in the original French language, instead of the colour, English translation.
I love the art so much more in this printing,a despite the smaller, paperback size, but then again I almost always enjoy a b&w version of a story more than a colour version.
Also the lettering is so beautiful this time around. It's by Wilson I believe, instead of a dedicated lettering "specialist". Wilson has hand drawn the gorgeous letterforms, done with brush from the looks of it, as well as hand inscribed the word balloons, all of which makes such a wonderful change from the boring and bland computer lettering and geometrically precise balloons we get in most comics now.
Rocksalt, by Mark Withington
This is a really fun lo-fi sci-fi adventure with great characters and nice style all 'round. Full review coming soon.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, by Hergé.
There's been a sad and embarrassing gap in my comic-reading history. But no more! Finally, after reading comics for 36 years, I've experienced a Tintin comic! There's a full review coming soon to let you know exactly what I thought.
