LA BALLADE DE NEFERITI TOME 1
HC 86pp Color
Lombard
The amazing artistic team behind Ishanti, draftsman Crisse and colorist Besson, return to the theme of Ancient Egypt with this sumptuous and comprehensive visual guide to that culture's fascinating pantheon of Gods.
Invisible, formless all powerful deities whose purpose we aren't supposed to fathom and who work alone are OK for those that like this sort of thing but this gorgeous book reminds us of the eye popping fun religion was back in the day of less jealous Gods!

In the same vein as Froud and Lee's Fairies this book is a profusely illustrated examination of the Fairy and Folk Lore of Scotland, where else.
The artwork isn't without its charm and there seems to be a healthy appetite for everything Scottish right now, so herres ta yuh!

OK let's leave the realms of fantasy and beat it to down town LA to hook up with Ozzy artist Shag;
FOUR HANDS

Ediciones Balboa
Whoops we scanned this at an angle please tilt your lap top a little to the right and down would you?
Anyhoo this is a rare collection of Shag drawings printed in a tiny quantity to mark the 25th anniversary of the excellent comic store Madrid Comics, what you need me to tell you where this comic store is!?
Cool cats will be familiar with Shag's retro lounge style of illustration the rest of us squares can buy this book and mellow out, niiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Let's bow out with an homage to one of the greatest characters in the comics cannon, as a certain sailor drops anchor and land hos!
REVOILA POPEYE
HC 176pp Black + White
Onapratut
Popeye debuted in the years of the depression, his no nonsense approach to life and the fickleness of fate, combined with the genius of Segar's whit and draftsmanship made him a hit back then and clearly a hero for our financially screwed up times as well.
For today he's getting a well deserved new lease of life, Fantagraphics are reprinting the original Thimble Theatre strips by his creator E.C. Segar, where Popeye, Olive, Whimmpy, etc. made their debuts, while IDW have launched a new comic book featuring this iconic character.
Over here we have this homage from an international team of comic talents, which probably would have found favor with Segar were he still alive for its irreverent and caustic humor, sadly he succumbed to cancer many years ago but his creation is still fighting fit as Bluto and other neer-do-wells are finding out.

Popeye est apparu pendant la grande depression Americaine, son approche de la vie et du destin combiné avec le genie du dessinateur E.C. Segar ont font un succes immediat et clairement un hero durant notre propre crise financiere.
De nos jours l'editeur Fantagraphics reimprime les strips originaux de facon magnifique et l'editeur IDW a lancé une nouvelle serie dont il est le heros.
REVOILA POPEYE est un hommage par differents artistes du monde entier, que Segar aurait surement apprecié car ces artistes ont su garder l'irreverence et l'humour caustic des origines.
