PREVIEWSWORLD.COM PICK OF THE WEEK:

I don't usually like these small LOVE AND ROCKETS collections, but honestly Gilbert's art looks great at any size. This particular volume collects "Me For the Unknown" and "Chiro el Indio" by writer Mario and artist Gilbert. Never seen these, and I absolutely love everything Mario has done.

FROM EDITIONS-DELCOURT.FR 1/11/23:

CONSTANTIN DE CHAMBERLY by Karibou and Arnaud De Viviers

Looks like a barbarian comics parody where the main character's mission is "awakening the land of Karskyal to humanism."
