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 [...]

Can’t resist splashing some Los Bros art on here for all to enjoy because, well, because it is Gilbert Hernandez and because we can never get enough of Los Bros, they just make our days better: (cover to Love From the Shadows [...]

Thursday, October 21, 2010

It’s a bumper week for new releases, with a slew of graphic novels hitting our shelves for New Comic Day this very morning. But purely for the sheer visual fun of it this cover for Marvel Zombies Volume 5 made me smile, big time – I mean it’s Howard the Duck and he’s kicking undead [...]

Blackest Night, rainbow of colours

Thursday, July 22, 2010

Comments Off

For some reason (maybe simply the pretty colours exciting my inner child) I really like the cover for Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps, which is hitting shelves today. Nice, simple, colourful, effective. And it makes me want to wear my power ring.  (cover art by Dave Gibbons and Rudolfo Migliari, (c) DC Comics)

Batman and Robin

Friday, April 9, 2010

Comments Off

New Comics Day is a day later than usual in the UK this week, due to the Easter Monday holiday and subsequent delivery problems caused by the UK’s main distribution routes being choked by millions of fluffy bunnies carrying baskets. But it’s worth waiting for -  there’s Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s Batman and Robin: [...]

New in this week from Fantagraphics is Almost Silent, a collection of four earlier original graphic novels by the brilliant Jason.

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 [...]

“I’m not the man they think I am at home, no, no, no, I’m a Rocket Man!”

How utterly, gloriously gorgeously 1930s pulp sci-fi is this? IDW’s lovely hardback collection of the late Dave Stevens’ Rocketeer. I just saw some heading for the shelves – if you’re in that last minute panic of present purchasing, may I humbly point you towards this wonderful collection? I’d be more than happy to have that [...]

Among today’s brand new arrivals is the second volume of Tomb of Dracula, written by Marv Wolfman, Steve Englehart and David Kraft, pencilled by Gene Colan, Tom Palmer and Virgilio Redondo and which, appropriately enough, comes in an enormous tome big enough to use as a tombstone. And yes, I do still take an almost  [...]

Captain Britain

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Comments Off

Oh yes, it is here. It may be a lot later than originally intended, but dammit, its worth the wait. Not to mention the weight – its a humungous tome, just remember when picking it up to lift from the legs and not your back. Alan Moore, Alan Davis, Captain Britain. Oh yes.
