Cinebook the 9th Art Newsletter 158 - February 2021

 

Dear Reader,

We seem to have placed this month under the sign of the child and growing up. So, let’s dive right in with our first title, and the return of taciturn Mountie Trent, who’s on duty beyond the Arctic Circle this time. But neither the loneliness nor the boredom will have much chance to get to him, when he finds himself entertaining a rather young guest!

Same era, but further south this time, with a new Lucky Luke: the lonesome cowboy must supervise the Daltons as they play ‘uncle’ to the son of their cousin Emmett. Between the four brothers’ usual misbehaving, and having to make sure they don’t ruin the kid’s education, Luke has his work cut out for him …

Finally, Thorgal returns! Well, the series does, because this time around, it’s his son Jolan who takes centre stage, and we see a lot less of his adopted Viking father. It’s time for the boy to leave the nest and become an adult, and what better way than a dangerous quest and a few deadly trials, hmm?

February with Cinebook – the magic of childhood preserved!

德鲁伊发现他的身体和精神状况正在恶化,甚至连牧师都无法帮助他。

在太空中,克里(Krii)和泰恩(Tyn hrrn)面对一个看似无法阻挡的敌人。 

在月球上,亚硒酸钠与其他世界的代表见面,并决定Z人曼尼·阿波罗(Johnny Apollo)是唯一可以领导反入侵舰队的人。

聚集的Sol Defense舰队准备进入最后的立场,由Z Man的Johnny Apollo领导。如果无法阻止入侵者,那么世界末日武器将被引爆并摧毁整个Sol系统。 

同时,杰克·弗拉克斯(Jack Flash),复仇者联盟(Avenger)等人并未意识到太空中的威胁,准备与“多眼的人”进行最后的决战。他们知道自己没有获胜的能力,这是最后的对抗。 

这是人类……地球……最后的日子吗?

Funding?

 I have no idea why I am bothering but I suppose we keep trying.

DO you want to see more CBO content and mega posts?

Are you willing to donate to keep CBO going -there is a PayPal me box to the right. 

Spending less time here and reviews and the odd video is all I am prepared to give up time for at the moment. Why not buy a book from the online store -you get something and I get something?

Computer is near teminal so....

BEN

 Could you please check the email address you sent me. That fella spent money saving your old art and is probably thinking he is getting the run around so PLEASE check and confirm. Thanks

Why All the Books On One Day....Explanation!

 You may have been expecting BTSH no. 8 but all three parts of The Green Skies?

Unfortunately with no real sales my constantly breaking down PC cannot be replaced and after it took me a couple of hours to get it basically functioning again I realised that once it goes that is it.

Green Skies parts 1-3 were uploaded last June and the rush was on to get covers together. I could not publish one part have the computer break down and parts 2 and 3 not appear. Therefore I decided to get it all out onto the online store. Reviewers have raved about the books but that never accounts for sales!

One point. The books have a cover price of £10.00 UK and that is because prices increased and each costs over £8.00 to print. That £10.00 cover price will make me a profit (before taxes!) of 98p. The real cover price should be £12-15.00 and that is an increase that will come in during March of this year but rather than go for a big cover price I decided to make the books (temporarily) low priced to attract readers.

The books are my supposed income but no one buys these days and if no one buys then I can't afford a new laptop or PC let alone the bills.

That is the explanation for the sudden surge of books!

Thank you.

The gathered Sol Defence fleet is prepared to make its final stand led by Johnny Apollo the Z Man. If it fails to halt the invaders then the doomsday weapon will be detonated and destroy the entire Sol System.

Following on from events in Green Skies V. 3 Part I the Clone Zone Boyz are increasing in number while those who created them, the Vampirons, continue to plot and await the arrival of their 'God' -The Many Eyed One. 

The Druid finds that his physical and mental state are deteriorating and even the Rev. Merriwether cannot help him. 

Shockingly, the Clone Zone Boyz claims someone close to Merriwether and this leads him to team up with two 'unsavoury' characters. 

In space Krii and Tyn hrrn face a seemingly unstoppable enemy. 

On The Moon the Selenites and representatives of other worlds meet and decide that Johnny Apollo, the Z-Man, is the only one who can lead the counter invasion fleet. 

With the enemy striking Mars and then the Moon things look grim
