Cinebook Ltd Newsletter 191 - November 2023

 

Dear Reader, Three new titles coming out is a blessing, but this month is all about disasters – both natural and man-made. Let’s be honest, though: in comics as in films, those make for some of the best entertainment. So, strap in! In Largo Winch, for example, we start with nothing less than … a space shuttle crash! Sabotage, assassination attempts, heartless manoeuvring and financial manipulations … It’s all in a day’s work for Largo, sure, but fiery atmospheric re-entry is a first … and it only gets wilder from there! Then there’s Yakari, whose tribe crosses the path of one of those terrible Great Plains tornadoes. After it has passed, the camp is in ruins, humans and animals are scattered everywhere … and it’s up to the young Sioux boy to locate several of them before it’s too late. Finally, Jean Van Hamme’s sequel to Edgar P. Jacobs’s The U Ray is here at last, bringing answers and a conclusion 80 years in the making, and it’s got both: man-made catastrophe in the form of invasion and all-out war, and the wrath of nature – or perhaps it is the wrath of Puncha Taloc, the God of Fire. Either way, it’s spectacular and exciting, like the best pulp fiction! November with Cinebook – the real tragedy would be not to read!
