Article: PG Previews for June 2012
Posted: April 22, 2012
Hello again, welcome to another round-up of my PG Tips for up-and-coming comics, graphic novels and manga that I am looking forward to. Among the special titles are translations of top-class graphic novels from French, Danish, Italian, Japanese and Balkan comics creators. I’m particularly buzzed that The Red Diary by Teddy Kristiansen, whom I interviewed at the Komiks DK festival in Copenhagen, is finally, finally coming out in English, flip-booked with an intriguing alternate version by Steven T. Seagle. And look out for debut books by promising, precocious Anglophone tyros Kaczynski, Vidaurri, Winterhart & Zettwoch. We’ll have to see how penetrating and uncompromised a job Larry Tye makes of his new Superman biography. And I’ve picked an unpublished Steve Gerber Man-Thing story illustrated by Kevin Nowlan, as this actually sounds hopeful, certainly more so that Marvel’s latest further resurrections of supposedly dead characters and concepts, Phoenix and Captain Marvel. While some myopic publishers can’t stop latching onto Mars Attacks, Pantha, The Bionic Man, Strawberry Shortcake (errr…), or another creaky, unneeded franchise from yesterday, to foist upon us, aren’t you glad that there are people like these below, investing real passion and originality to this amazing medium.
