Announced recently from Dark Horse, that’s page 2 from 47 Ronin by Mike Richardson and Stan Sakai, and it looks very good indeed. We all know how great an artist Stan Sakai is from his Usagi Yojimbo series, but his art is often overlooked due to the anthropomorphic characters. But no chance of that here, [...]

Resident Alien #0 Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse Dark Horse Comics Last year the Dark Horse Presents anthology comic series carried a pretty interesting strip from Paul Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, Resident Alien. Harry Vanderspiegle is the titular resident alien – not one of those who sneaked over the Tex-Mex border that get right wing [...]

I like Peter Hogan. We met over the ‘net when I interviewed him for this very blog (see here), and we immediately got on. I found that he was involved in all sorts of interesting things that struck a chord with me, like the British comic magazine Revolver, of which I still cherish fond memories. [...]

Lactose filled hate coming your way in December, as Evan Dorkin’s magnificent comic series Milk and Cheese finally gets the hardback treatment from Dark Horse.

On shelves this very day, a stonking big omnibus of Shannon Wheeler’s Too Much Coffee Man. I was a huge fan back in the day, very happy to see this huge collection finally hitting the racks this week. Pick up a copy, pour yourself a big, ‘ole cup of Java and kick back for a [...]

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

Comments Off

Or since these trailers (via Comics Alliance) are for the upcoming fourth volume of Blacksad to be published in France by Dargaud, perhaps I should be saying “oui, oui, oui”.  Dark Horse published a beautiful hardback collection of the first three Blacksad tales in one volume earlier this summer (if you haven’t read them, you [...]

Barry Windsor-Smith’s Conan

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Comments Off

Barry Windsor-Smith has to be one of our most respected comics artists and his run in the early 70s depicting Robert E Howard’s great barbarian hero Conan (teamed with the equally legendary Roy Thomas) still stands as a real high point of fantasy art; actually his art on Conan is still pretty much the benchmark [...]
