While my Tokyo amigo, Spanish-Japanese mangaka Ken Niimura, rebounds with a 400-page tome of a trilogy of dynamic introgues…įrancisco de la Mora and José Luis Pescador capture the intertwined lives of Mexican art’s great power-couple, Diego Rivera ad Frida Kahlo…Īnd it’s a thrill to see another highly creative partnership, brother and sister Peter and Maria Hoey, addressing the mysteries of the animal kingdom with which we share this world. It’s also wonderful to see the return of Rutu Modan, unravelling from two rival quests for the mythic Ark of the Covenant, and rooted in the cultures of Israel and Palestine… The first volume of Roxanne Moreil & Cyril Pedrosa’s ravishing medievalist allegory The Golden Age was a stand-out bande dessinée on its release, and its second concluding volume promises to be equally captivating, if not better… Given the mounting urgency of these times of climate crisis, Rewriting Extinction has been able to pull together a formidable line-up of contributors to this species-saving benefit anthology. This month, the title of my lead highlight might sound rather pompous at first, but The Most Important Comic Book on Earth is indeed of thee utmost importance, because it’s on Earth, as in entirely ‘about’ or ‘on the subject of’ our one-and-only home-planet. Top 24 Graphic Novels, Comics & Manga: October 2021
