Article: Previews April 2013
Posted: February 24, 2013

It’s not every month that you get significant new outings by several masters - and mistresses - of the medium like Rutu Modan, Audrey Niffenegger, Dash Shaw, Zander & Kevin Cannon, Lucy Knisley and Anders Nilsen. Other highlights include French phenomenon Blutch with his first ever full-length graphic novel appearing in English. My PG Tips for April 2013 also include some manga gems, past and present, notably debuts from Shigeru Sugiura and Gengorah Tagame, plus a pair of intriguing creators from Spain, and books by the Pleece Brothers, Mark Millar & Frank Quitely, and Robbie Morrison & Jim Murray, part of the ongoing British comics resurgence. And DC Comics seem to have sorted out reprinting more than the two previously printed stores from the completed but mostly unpublished second issue of Jack Kirby’s 1970 gangster classic In The Days Of The Mob - (here’s an unpublished page from the story ‘A Room for Kid Twist’ - see this and more on www.whatifkirby.com). So there’s plenty of great comics reading ahead! Check out the rest of my PG Previews here…
