One often thinks of our paleolithic and neolithic forebears as living lives fraught with peril and discomfort but here's a book which hints to the origins of one of our species more endearing traits, humor!

Developed from a concept of Olivier Vatine and Claire Wendling's - and how about that for talent - these are the funny strip adventures of one of our cave kid ancestors, brought to you by writers Vatine and Dav and illustrated by one of our favorite BD artists, the fabulous Didier Cassegrain.
If only the Flintstones could have been this funny, attention not for the too serious paleontologists!
Here's two restocks for connoisseurs of animal art, each book is beautifully illustrated, thoroughly researched and very hefty!
I wish there were more books like this available, fine art publishers seem to think we have an endless appetite for Klimt and Monet, fine artists though they are I'd like more variety and I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting this.

Finally a last bit of Monkey business as we coax down from celestial trees,
KATSUYA TERADA'S THE MONKEY KING # 2

Dark Horse Comics
It's been 7 years since the fist volume of this weird and wonderful retelling of one of Asia's favorite tales, so by now regular readers will know what I'm about to write about the arrival of the second!
Don't worry in the interim neither artist Katsuya Terada or the cheeky Monkey King, Goku, have gotten any softer, this is still as deliriously bizarre and violent as before and certain to have you gibbering hooh-hoo-hoo at Terada's artistry and audacity!

Those of you who like the detailed and dynamic art of Mr Terada may like to know we have more of the amazing Kim Jung-Gi's sketchbooks from 2007 and 2011 in stock but they're going fast!
Certains imaginent que nos ancetres du paleolithic et du neolithic vivaient dans un perpetuel peril et un reel inconfort mais voici un livre qui parle aussi d'un autre coté de leur vie, l'humour!

Devellopé à partir d'un concept d'Olivier Vatine et Claire Wendling, voici des histoires d'une page où l'on suit les aventures de l'un de nos ancetres enfant, le tout ecrit par Olivier Vatine et Dav et illustré par le fabuleux Didier Cassegrain.
Voila deux retours en stock pour les connaisseurs d'art animalier, chacun d'eux est magnifiquement illustré, tres recherché et tres lourd.
J'aurais esperé qu'il y ait plus de livres comme ça, mais les editeurs d'art semblent penser que l'on a un appetit sans fin pour Klimt et Monet, moi je prefererais plus de varietes et je ne suis certainement pas le seul.

KATSUYA TERADA'S THE MONKEY KING # 2

Cela fait 7 ans depuis la sortie du premier volume de l'adaptation bizarre et merveilleuse de ce conte classique asiatique.
Ne vous inquietez pas entre temps ni l'artiste Katsuya Terada ni le Roi singe Goku, ne sont devenus plus softs, c'est toujours aussi delirant, bizarre et violent que ça l'etait et Terada est toujours aussi artistiquement virtuose et audacieux!
Pour ceux d'entre vous qui aiment le dynamisme et le sens detaillé de l'art de Mr Terada sachez que nous avons recuperé les sketchbooks 2007 et 2011 de Kim Jung-Gi et qu'ils partent vite!
