2023: Bedlam in Print
Looking back over last year’s books!
AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS
Almost certainly the finest-ever graphic interpretation of this particular story
SPA
This unforgettably gross and surreal graphic novel hails from Sweden, and I say this 2023 English translation is an absolute necessity
BLOOD: A TALE
A four-part comic book saga that appeared in 1987, a boom time for adult comics
VIC, BLOOD, AND HARLAN
About the strange yet wondrous tales of Vic, a teenage punk, and his telepathic dog Blood, who subsist in a post-nuclear wasteland.
2022: Bedlam in Print
The standout books of 2022, as chosen by me
ALEISTER CROWLEY: WANDERING THE WASTE
A graphic novel that attempts to encompass the entirety of Aleister Crowley’s life into a 108-page whole–and very nearly succeeds
THE LONG TOMORROW AND OTHER SCIENCE FICTION STORIES
Overall this book ranks far from the top in the Moebius hierarchy, yet contains one absolutely indispensable portion: the Dan O’Bannon scripted title story
BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS
The vision on display in this graphic novel is a dark and unsettling one marked by blood, slime and decay
