Dear Reader,

Ships! Rivers! Wild oceans and stormy seas! Oh, have we got a nautical selection for you, mateys!

Let’s start with our old friend Thorgal, back in the adventuring saddle after his youngest son was kidnapped by mysterious mages. We get to see how our mariner friend – he is a Viking, after all – fares on a dangerous icebound river, while his other son Jolan learns more about his own destiny. Epic and exciting, as always with Thorgal!

From frozen to sweltering, we head next to Amazonia, where British agent and alien expert Kathy Austin must now travel further up the mighty Amazon and enter the rainforest proper to continue her investigation. Leo and Rodolphe weave an intriguing mystery, but kudos to Bertrand Marchal’s art – his claustrophobic rendition of the Brazilian jungle is so on point you can practically feel yourself start to sweat as you read …

Finally, at the end of every river, eventually there’s the sea, and that is forever the domain of Redbeard. There’s hidden treasure to find, and the crew of the Blackhawk head to Tortuga. But there’s a sorcerer involved, and Mami Wata, goddess of the sea and mistress of the elements, may well lay down her wrath on those impudent enough to defy her …

August with Cinebook – books ahoy!
