Article: PG Previews July 2013
Posted: April 28, 2013
Regis Loisel’s Peter Pan - the Collected English Edition from John Anderson on Vimeo.
Slightly slimmer pickings this time round, but my July 2013 PG Tips are all the better for being cherry-picked for their excellence, intelligence, humanity and wit, and their welcome dearth of spandex, chainmail bikinis, blokes with guns, dreary dystopias, franchise re-treads and blockbuster-itis. One major highlight is Soaring Penguin’s audacious release of the complete Peter Pan by Régis Loisel (above), a gripping expansion and enhancement of the J.M. Barrie play, extrapolating Peter’s traumatic background in Victorian London and adding motivation to his need to escape to Neverland and never grow up. In a way, Loisel does for the original Peter Pan what the musical Wicked does for The Wizard of Oz. Another gem this July is Seagle & Kristiansen’s reunion on the compelling Einsteinian graphic novel Genius. There’s more good stuff here worth your attention and custom - see what tickles your fancy.
