Alex de Campi: Gojira!

SMOKE was named as one of the Best Shots this week on Newsarama: "SMOKE hails from the grand tradition of dystopian U.K. comics. In tone and intent, it shares the school of the best of Moore and Ellis. That this is de Campi's first significant comics work borders on the unbelievable. This book deserves to be huge."

Also, I contribute an article to Ninth Art this week where I get artist friends Simon Fraser, JJ Dzialowski and Igor Kordey to talk about must-own European comic books. This will be my last Ninth Art column for the summer, as I'm just swamped under deadlines.

Regarding your new article about Eurocomics, you say there's no english translation of BLUEBERRY: THE LOST DUTCHMAN'S MINE, but there is:

It was published by Epic/Marvel in 1991 as:

And reprinted also as:
