I LOVE these comics. So much imagination and they're simple, and funny, and dirty. Whenever I read these it always makes me want to create something like this. Then I remember I can't draw, but really the art in these books isn't "good" it's just "stylized" and goofy. Either way, I think I HAVE to collect all of these now.

I picked this up at a library-run book club and had no idea what to expect. I'm still not sure what I'd expect, but as a long-time lover of Gormenghast I loved Antipolis, especially when the Dark Knight Shirt started to caper around the rooftops.

why did I not know of these books before? there's just something about the deadpan humour and low-key epicness that really appeals to me. it may not be for everyone but I love these to bits.

"Manages to work both as parody and as straight genre fiction, laughs alternating with thrills and even moments of genuine drama poignancy and." - The Comics Journal.

I could not write anything truer myself.
