Cinebook Ltd Newsletter 182- February 2023

 

Dear Reader, Ah, the unknown. The thrill of discovery, the joy of new experiences, the terror of terra incognita … Perhaps Mankind’s greatest strength is our constant desire to explore it, in all its shapes and forms, and advance our understanding of life, the universe and everything. At our humble level as comic publishers, it makes for cracking reading! Take the new Marsupilami, for example. Continuing the adventures of Noah the misanthropic clown, Donald the lost rich child and Solorio the orphaned Native across the jungle, this book takes us to a mysterious temple where laughter is both a threat, a promise of wealth … and the reward for you, the reader, should you dare to enter! Neptune takes us one step further with this new cycle of Leo’s Worlds of Aldebaran. Our heroines Kim and Marie are called upon to investigate a mind-boggling mystery before it turns into a potential threat. This time, though, the ‘final frontier’ in need of exploring is right here in the Solar System – perhaps too close for comfort … Finally, Trent, in his final adventure, begins the exploration of a different type of unexplored territory for him: fatherhood. Temporary and surrogate as it may be, his guardianship and father figure role to a young boy he is tasked with protecting from his real, abusive father will have a profound impact on both of them.
