Excellent guide to French comic heroes and villains,

This review is from: Shadowmen 2: Heroes and Villains of French Comics (Paperback)
SHADOWMEN VOLUME 2: HEROES AND VILLAINS OF FRENCH COMICS presents characters from French comics throughout the 20th Century. Once again compiled by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier, each entry contains biographies of the creators/writers, biographies of the characters, and lists of appearances, with tons of helpful illustrations and samples. I had no prior knowledge of any of these characters, but the stunning cover by Andrew Paquette hooked me from first sight. Now I just have to find some collections of their stories and learn to read French.
This book excludes some of the more obvious choices, such as Tintin and Asterix, in favor of others that may not receive as much attention but may be recognizable nonetheless. The 45 entries include such characters as Zig & Puce, Barbarella, the Blue Hawk, the Last Mermaid, Monsieur Choc, Wampus, Zembla, Fantax, Satanax, Thorkael, Kabur of Ultima Thule, Tom X, Jacques Flash, Lone Sloane, Submerman, and even a Super Boy! This book is an excellent companion volume to Shadowmen, and it should keep comic fans entertained. In fact, I rate it higher than the first volume due to the diversity of characters that are featured. |
