Cinebook Ltd Newsletter 199 - July 2024

 

Dear Reader, After Emilie’s Inheritance last month, we’re doubling down and offering you another helping of Florence Magnin’s gorgeous art. Double that doubling down, even, since both volumes of this two-part story are coming out together – no waiting! In Black Mary, written by Rodolphe (Kenya, Trent), we meet an idle, libertine nobleman, the dreaded pirate captain who gives the story its name … and a whole lot of ghosts! It’s a story of love, longing, adventure and death … bittersweet, exciting and moving … and stupendously illustrated by an outstanding artist. The perfect combination! Rounding up this month’s new titles is the fourth volume of Lonesome, our Western-with-a-twist. Slight supernatural overtones aside, a good Western has to have a showdown, and this one does not disappoint. After the wilds of Kansas and the urban jungle of New York City, it’s the deep forests of Maine that become the object of Yves Swolfs’ pencils and brushes, and the result is just as impressive as before. Detailed, expressive and clear even in the midst of frantic action scenes – that’s the kind of art you want in your comics! As for the story, it concludes this four-episode arc nicely, leaving the door open to more chapters of Elijah’s adventures. We can’t wait! July with Cinebook: cowboys and pirates and ghosts, oh my! Our latest catalogue is now available from our website. Eleven new titles, one new two-part series, and a new print run of four volumes of the Complete Valerian hardback collection. Dive in and start planning your shopping!
