Le baron perché

(3)

‘‘Un garçon est forcé de manger des escargots qu’il trouve répugnants et, rebelle, décide de se jeter par la fenêtre… dans l’arbre juste à côté. Il ne mettra plus jamais les pieds sur la terre, vivant dans les arbres. Oui, c’est le roman classique de Italo Calvino mis en BD par Claire...‘‘ Lire la suite

Sur un air de Fado

(71)

‘‘Avant de lire “Sur un air de Fado” je ne savais rien d’autre sur Salazar qu’il était l'équivalent portugais de Franco - un dictateur à main de fer, tenant son pays loin de la guerre mais impitoyable envers ses adversaires politiques. Maintenant, je sais un peu plus - notamment, qu’il est...‘‘ Lire la suite

Flower of a new World

(4)

‘‘A rare story where the indigenous tribe wins against the conquistadors - but do they, really? It starts with a paradisiac vista - pristine water, majestic forest, beautiful flowers - but the heaven turns to hell in an instant as the Mapuche tribe attacks, killing the travelling Spaniards...‘‘ Lire la suite

The Quest for the Time Bird - The Complete Collection (4 Volumes)

(1)

‘‘This is unanimously considered a reference work in heroic fantasy comics - French comics, that is. And I have to concede that for 1983, when the first tome was published, this must've been quite a shock. But reading this for the first time in 2021 was a difficult experience. Régis Loisel...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 The Spire

(2)

‘‘A fantasy / sci-fi / post-apocalyptic whodunit set up in a weird (and sometimes wonderful) world filled to the brim with alien races. I almost didn't finish this because Spurrier (X-Force, Star Wars, Six-Star Gorilla) has the annoying tendency to start a journey, abandon it, start another...‘‘ Lire la suite

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

(224)

‘‘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

Folklords

(3)

‘‘Ansel is a teenager looking forward to his questing day - but while his friends want to find the Golden Goose and steal her eggs, take a bite of the Golden Apple of Eternal Youth, or wed a Snowmaiden, he wants to find the legendary Folklords, architects and masters of the fantasy realm he...‘‘ 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
