Cinebook The 9th Art Newsletter 152 - August 2020

Dear Reader,
It seems that conflict and revolution are the theme of choice this month, though we swear we didn’t plan it that way!
Beginning with the second volume of The Regiment, and the continuing story of how the Special Air Service was created. It’s history, it’s epic, it’s a terrific adventure, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. What’s not to like?

Bad guys with delusions of racial superiority and immense hidden power and wealth, nefarious plans unfolding … Fortunately, our hero is there to stop them. Right? I mean, it’s not like he’d join them or anything … ?
Finally, we have a much more light-hearted take on armed uprisings with the latest adventure of The Marsupilami. Let’s face it – it’s not easy oppressing the people when your jackbooted thugs are getting laid out by an angry Marsu on a mission. It makes for a hilarious story, though!
