Books To Read: Best Graphic Novels May 2015

Posted: March 2, 2015

Welcome back! Just for you I’ve once again rummaged through publishers’ solicitations for new releases due to be published this coming May or soon after, to arrive at this more manageable shortlist of the most intriguing and promising titles. Plenty to look forward to here, from masters like Philippe Druillet, Wally Wood, Shotaro Ishinomori, Alex Toth and Satoshi Kon (Japanese cover of Dream Fossil above) to some of today’s very brightest sparks. As usual. I’ve given you where available links to more images and info, and this time added a few interior sample pages to give you a flavour.

One inescapable landmark this month is the first monthly instalment of the new 12-part mini-series Providence by Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows (wraparound cover below). Horror is a genre that Moore has startlingly revolutionised in comics before, from Swamp Thing to From Hell, among others. His return to the unspeakable terrors of H.P. Lovecraft looks set to warp all expectations all over again.
