Article: PG Previews For May 2012
Posted: March 26, 2012
Welcome back, here’s a round-up of my recommendations for new comics, manga and graphic novels due out during May or soon after, sifted for you from publishers’ advance listings. Highlights this month include: the long-overdue debut in full book form by the remarkable Italian maestro Sergio Toppi; new graphic novels by Eddie Campbell, Jaime Hernandez & David B. (who is among the guests at this year’s BD & Comics Passion festival at the French Institute in London, in association with Comica, on May 24th to 27th); great global comics from Japan, Egypt, Sweden, Belgium and Spain; some classy first-time complete compilations from Gary Panter, Howard Cruse, Jeremy Bastian & Doug Wildey; the surprise return of horror-meister Wrightson on Mary Shelley’s man-made monster; and a massive artbook on Marvel artist John Buscema (I have the bi-lingual Spanish original of this and it is stunning).
I hope I’ve found you one or two treats to look forward to. And by the way, Flemish artist Maarten Vande Wiele is one of the special guests taking part in our live Drawing Parade at the Spring Comica Comiket in London on Saturday April 21st, where the English edition of Paris will be launched.
