Black Hammer, Vol. 2: The Event
AuthorJeff Lemire
ISBN1506701981
4.25ish stars.

Maybe my favorite on-going title. Great character work and a solid, clever plot that deftly balances Golden Age superheroes with New Age struggles. It makes the '90s flashbacks feel like the '40s but it works. This is a big improvement over the first volume; now that the character...

I Never Liked You
AuthorChester Brown
ISBN1896597149
In one of the best graphic novels published in recent years, Chester Brown tells the story of his alienated youth in an almost detached, understated manner, giving the book an eerie, dream-like quality.

The Playboy
AuthorChester Brown
ISBN0969670117
read this in the bookstore and didn’t buy it shhhhhh don’t tell

I really like Chester Brown and the sort of uncomfortable honesty of his memoir-ish comics is way more appealing to me than that of R. Crumb, who feels more like an actual slime ball. That being said, this entire graphic novel...

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY



Credo che fosse il 1991, l’anno in cui ho incontrato Paul Auster per la prima volta: La musica del caso.
