Yet another comic book I’ve deemed worthy of an entry all of its own. Blacksad<\/em> is a French comic written and illustrated by two Spanish men. It’s finally been translated into English and collected into a hardback by Dark Horse<\/a>. And it’s nothing short of incredible.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time since Usagi Yojimbo \u2013 Chanoyu<\/em> that I actually felt compelled to read something again. I haven’t as yet. I’m taking my time in doing so to draw out the anticipation. I have flicked through it several times and each time I’m just amazed at how good it is.
