RIP Raymond Macherot
Raymond Macherot is dead. He was the creator of the inimitable Chaminou et le Khrompire, one of my favourite comics of all time.  Read my piece about it on the Forbidden Planet blog, and enjoy this little hommage by Flore … Continue reading

We need more fairy tales
These dire days call for fairy tales, of the sweet and scary kind. Cory Godbey (below) and Justin Gerard (above) of Portland Studios come to the rescue, with elaborate illustrative work that speaks of imagination, enchantment and terror. I’d love … Continue reading
