T 4 The Mask of Fudo

(1)

‘‘“It is not for us to know which is the man and which is the mask, for each of us sees a different truth, What we are is our deepest secret, concealed behind a face we dare not look at, for fear we may discover that our mask may not exist.” The epic conclusion of this series has it all -...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Astro Boy

(1)

‘‘Perfect introduction to Astro Boy. First, it’s two volumes for the price of one. Second, the presentation at the beginning of the book tells all you need to know about Osamu Tezuka, Astro Boy’s creator, and his times. Third, you get Astro Boy’s origin story, reworked by Tezuka in 1975,...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 4 Blast

(4)

‘‘Polza Mancini, age 40, bum, ex-writer, ex-addict, ex-psychiatric ward inmate, lover, and (maybe?) innocent. One of my favorite things about this album is the addition of the “Jasper the Bipolar Bear” strips - funny, sad and true. “I’m in pain, Doc. I feel like I’m just drifting through...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 3 Blast

(2)

‘‘Polza Mancini, age 39, bum, ex-writer, addict, inmate in a psychiatric ward, and (maybe?) killer. After diving head first into his vagrant lifestyle, Mancini finds out maybe there’s a dark purpose to his actions.

T 2 Blast

(5)

‘‘Polza Mancini, age 38, bum, ex-writer, drug dealer, and (maybe?) killer. His story unfolds answer by answer, as the questioning policemen get progressively annoyed with his metaphysical and mystical rendering of his booze and drug-fueled trip. As summer leaves, the forest gets colder, and...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Blast

(8)

‘‘Polza Mancini, age 38, writer. Fat, disgusting, homeless. (wait, I’m wrong: “Not homeless! A bum. The former is a victim, the latter makes a choice.”) And a killer, now in police custody, telling his story the way he wants it. What is truth and what is fabulation? We don’t know - he’s a...‘‘ Lire la suite

Chiba doit terminer son stage d'enseignement, en donnant trois semaines de cours à des élèves du secondaire, s'il veut devenir un jour professeur de dessin.

L'homme qui inventait le monde

(48)

‘‘Le résumé proposé par l'éditeur raconte trois quarts de l'histoire et préfigure la fin, ne m'accusez pas donc de trahir des secrets. En bref, la Terre est sur le point de perdre une guerre spatiale, et la race humaine est au bord de l'extinction (ce qui n’est pas évident - dans le New...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 Demande à Modigliani !

(2)

‘‘Ne jugez pas ce livre par la couverture! :) Oui, ma nièce de six ans peut dessiner ça, mais c’est un choix assumé. L'art "naïf" transmet le message que le travail acharné et le dévouement comptent, qu’on peut tous être artistes, tant qu'on a quelque chose de pertinent à dire. Et cette...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 1 My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought

(1)

‘‘Eiji Urashima is a loser - an unremarkable, silly, virgin college student that dreams of girls and a better life, but instead of working towards that life he spends his nights drinking - so much that sometimes he can’t remember what he did last evening. One morning, he wakes up next to a...‘‘ Lire la suite

T 2 My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought

(1)

‘‘Under the mask of a carefree student, Eiji Urashima hides a terrible secret that shaped his life from early childhood - he’s the son of a serial killer, his mother killed herself due to the guilt, and he was adopted by the cop that believed (mistakenly) in his father’s innocence. Even...‘‘ Lire la suite
