STRAY BULLETS, VOL. 2 – graphic novel
If Quentin Tarantino were to write and draw a comic book, it would look something like Stray Bullets. The question is: Is that a good thing? I was highly interested in reading this graphic novel after hearing that author/artist David Lapham won an Eisner Award for Stray Bullets Vol 1 (1996). But if the art Continue reading

WIDE AWAKE IN SLUMBERLAND – Katherine Roeder

FADE OUT – graphic novel
In the mid-1980s there was a comic book series called Wordsmith (by comic book company Renegade). The title was apparently never very popular (you can still pick up a copy, for less than the cover price), but I quite liked it since it followed the hard work of a pulp writer in the 1930’s-40’s. Ed Continue reading
