Atom Agency
« on: October 24, 2020, 06:15:56 PM »

Let me point you in the direction of the retro-noir Atom Agency from Yann and Schwartz - set in the seedy Parisian underworld of the fifties:

The first entry in the series - The Begum's Jewels - is available in English at the very reasonable price of only 4.99 euros:

The second volume has just been released in French:

Some glorious art from Schwartz

I think European comics, particularly French and in particular EUROPE comics, are doing some of the best work around right now.
I will definitely check that one out.

The best US publisher right now, for my money is BOOM!
'Once and Future'  I have recommended before. Sold out its frist printing. First Arc [ 12 issues] Now available as a collection.   
Among others they have,
An ongoing Firefly series
A Slaughterhouse five graphic novel
DUNE: HOUSE ATREIDES #1
A 'The Expanse' series.
'We only find them when they're dead' - Which by the way sold out its first printing. Is now on its forth print run.
And many more.
My find of the week is a graphic novel published by Boom under the ARCHAIA imprint,
Cow Boy - A boy and his horse. by Nate Cosby and Chris Elipoulos. 2015.  It is an on-going story and I don't know if there was a sequel. It is simply delightful. 
If you search,. you will get Amazon, please support free enterprise and buy it directly from Boom or a smaller retailer.
Cheers!

I looked up a review of "We only find them when they are dead" which claimed it was an original concept. Fact is its been used in Dr Who and in "Guardians of the Galaxy".
Still it sounds cool as it gets, I'd like to read it.

PS
I almost forgot Phillip K Dick. An enormous manlike corpse found floating in the ocean.
