Anecdotically , notice the 'De Luca effect' used three times at page 4 of 'The Labyrinths'. A page dated 1968, seven years before De Luca did his Hamlet comic book adaptation responsible for the name of the effect. (And maybe someone else may have used the technique even before Buzzelli)

Excited to get this one!

I found this comic exceptional.

absolutely one of my favorite illustrators and comic artists. just brilliant.

the sperm comma tampon endpaper would make a good wallpaper.

great looking book- I totally get your critique on the color/contrast though. I especially liked your take on diversity in media not having to be central to the story telling- very well put :) this vid came out a week or so ago, so congrats on the new house! lol

Trust yourself and trust the audience, or just do it anyway and don't worry if they figure it out or not.

Congratulations on the House!! Very cool looking book. I aways like the colour hold lineless approach, but as you pointed out sometimes readability is a problem without the lines to give that separation. It was something I felt about a lot of cartoons that went lineless in the post flash era.

Lale Westvind seems like a really cool creator, I haven't read any of her works yet though. I am a fan of your videos. I have been watching more lately and am surprised to see not a single video about 'Yoshihiro Tatsumi'? Is this just a glaring omission on your part? Will you also do videos of 'Kamui Den' and 'Ashita no Joe' once released? another question: how do you get/read so many books? Do publishers send you copies?

I like granular printing discussions somedays. Thank you.

Began reading my copy last night. About halfway done. I will return to your video when I finish. My track record for satisfying Burns has not been good - I didn't care for Black Hole nor Xed Out. His stuff seems to lack the humor of his earlier comics.

Interview with Olivier would be something huge!

Probably some light spoilers here You didn't discuss the use of the The Last Picture Show and totally missed that the story is about mental illness. That portal you speak of can be ideations that build up to a psychotic break. She never shared in them, except when she helps recreate them in his movies. The larger theme is about how we often don't see these breaks coming. The one suffering them don't notice it (they just work them out in the best way they can) and their friends don't notice it. (They just see them as weird or something) Take a look again there is much more going on here.

my husband bought thus book for me, we both thinking it will be a super sweet... this book makes me feel very UNCONFORTABLE XD specially the lion story! the firdt one and the vamoare are sweet, but the others... weird, I dont want this book in my house anymore xD

I feel like the guy narrating this saw some pictures of Uma Thurman playing June Miller in Henry and June and thought they were actually pictures of June. 😂 June Miller didn’t look like Uma Thurman.

If there is a theme in this cartoon, it is discrimination. Racism and discrimination against diseases. How often we judge people by their appearance. The last scene where Kirihito is invited and welcomed by a group of people suffering from a disease is very moving. Tezuka has always used handicapped people as his main characters.

16 issues max!

Arsène Schrauwen being reissued May 20, 2025 by Fanta

absolute masterpiece! you're so right, i read it in chunks as it was coming out and every time a new issue came out i had to reread the previous ones to get back into it. next level stuff in all fronts and real funny too!

Absolutely! 🙌

Great perspective on this book....for me the book became tedious halfway through...the enchantment of the beautiful art wore off, i guess.

I read "Final Cut" last week and didn't really care about the story either. It overall simply wasn't very interesting to me. The craftsmanship is obviously off the charts and the thick paper and printing felt great. In my opinion, you should cut Burns some slack though. Couldn't it also be that they're maybe a prisoner of their own success in some way. I imagine that on one hand, they've cultivated a readership that always expects something like the next "Black Hole", and on the other there's possibly a similar mental pressure at play. I can still enjoy their stuff by simply looking at the pretty pictures and compositions though. Maybe people should dial down their expectations.

I prefer Burns' Altoid ads to his actual comics, but that's because I'm a wierdo. I think he continues to go back to the teen angst well because he was influenced by romance comics and is working in the now gone genre. He does it well for an old man returning to teen angst.

Love Charles Burns 's artwork , next level craftsmanship . Would be interesting to see him collaborate with a writer but like most artists , I suspect he writes stories that feature things he wants to draw.

I already got Her Frankenstein and this one. Looking forward to this collection!

I really enjoyed this release. Look forward to more! Carson, when will you do a video on taiyo matsumoto?

You never read any Michael Moorcock books? Elric is a Michael Moorcock character. The Witcher is a Elric rip-off

Based on how much I enjoyed ‘Her Frankenstein’ I bought an untranslated copy of ‘The City of Horror’ great reading experience going through with no grasp of the language. *I think* it was clear enough to just read the panels, at least for 95% of it. Something I’ll have to try again.

The ‘little creatures in the woods’ idea seems to be something that shows up again and again. The Australian version is May Gibb’s Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, not a comic but an illustrated children’s book. I imagine all of this springs out of faeries and whatnot.

great review guys. lol @ shirows super autistic jokes

This book and other Jodo books broke me on regular sci-fi. Everything else feels so underwhelming in comparison.

I didn't know they made a Jodorowsky library. That'd be easier. I've read scattered things in Heavy Metals and all of Incal, but that's about it.

One of my faves!! Heads up that you spelled the author’s last name wrong. It’s “Mackay” 🙃

Inspired by Smurfs, American comic creator Adam Yeater's Norx and Mogz is a sci-fi fantasy village with less words than the average comic experience. I recommend checking them out with Smurf nostalgia in tow.

Shoulda called it Sean n tell. Missed opportunity :(

Your channel is super educational and paced at the perfect speed. Thank you for being my internet friends!❤

7:19 the intro by Kacy was quite beautiful

I just got my copy this week! Love Brandon's style and so grateful to get through this one

Jodorowsky lives to provoke and from your reaction it seems to be working well :)

There are several Piskor inspired anthologies. I grabbed Ninja Turtles Grand Design and Troll Call already. I snagged them from Bryan Moss on Insta but other people are selling them. I haven't grabbed 25 Summers yet. It's an extension of the Kayfabe audience.

Working through the Graham library.

This video and art is best viewed on mute folks. The non stop whining that spews out of this fairy is nauseating.

Halfway through this. A real treat.

Have you ever checked out the original mexican version of Anibal stuff? Very 60s style artwork

Finally, something from your backyard, you evil colonizer 😃

Interesting book. I wonder if this horizontal format is something that is a thing in Spain. I had watched a domestika course a while ago by another Spanish comic book artist and some of his printed work used a similar format. Interesting point about this feeling like a webcomic, I had a similar thought when you went through the black pages up front. That sort of pacing and utilization of negative space is very common on the infinite scroll format of online comics since there is no cost to using as much black or white and nothing else for just pacing. Different story in print, so very interesting to see that choice made and have multiple pages of black to really implement the pacing they wanted to. It could have so easily been a case where a call was taken to at least reduce the number of black pages with no text on them.

To answer your question... This was published as a Book by Astiberri in Spain

and purchased, thanks. the art is awesome.

Hey thanks for covering the book! book 2 drops on November 9th!
