Tim Truman-- Jonah Hex, Lone Ranger
"Awe-inspiring compositions, amazing brushwork and great characters create a mythical Western dreamscape that should have been... VIVA MOEBIUS!"

Jack Jackson, Comanche Moon, Los Tejanos
"What Sergio Leone (Fistful of Dollars) did for the Western film, the team of Charlier and Moebius have done in the medium of comics. Blueberry is a classic, its storyline entertaining and artwork stupendous."

Who was the man known to us as Blueberry? This bizarre and unusual name belonged to a mysterious soldier of fortune whose trail can be followed through the history of the American West, a figure who appeared to have been involved in some of the most dramatic events in American history, but who always remained behind the scenes.

The West is rife with legends and tall tales of men such as Jesse James, Billy the Kid, the Dalton Brothers, Wild Bill Hitchcock, and even better known figures such as General George Armstrong Custer. But the casual researcher will be able to locate only a few, incomplete stories about the man named Blueberry. No pulps were written about him, no serials were made about his exploits and, until recently, his very existence had sunk into an obscurity that he would have most likely welcomed.

The definitive American reprints of the classic French western. This volume will contain a history of Blueberry by Jean-Michel Charlier and Jean-Marc Lofficier, reprints of Blueberry #'s (Epic) 1,2, and part of #3, and the first English language printing of "Three Black Birds", a Moebius written and illustrated Blueberry adventure. Introduction by Elmer Kelton.

From Horn Book
Burton's rootin'-tootin' comic-book-style Western was and still is completely original, with its varied-colored pages and experimental graphic design. Yi! Yi! Whoopee! to the publishers for reissuing this progressive and energetic classic--with the villain's name properly and alliteratively restored to boot.

THE LIFE AND OPINIONS
OF TRISTRAM SHANDY,
GENTLEMAN
by Martin Rowson
Hardcover: 240 pages
Overlook Press
ISBN: 0879517689
$26.95
Tristram Shandy is one of English literature's most curious, complex and comic novels. Here, cleverly recreated in the distinctive, anarchic style of cartoonist and illustrator Martin Rowson, Tristram travels with his faithful companion Pete through the torturous paths of the infinitely digressive world of Laurence Sterne's eccentric masterpiece. Rowson provides a wickedly modern viewpoint, bringing in deconstruction, a film version of Tristram Shandy by Oliver Stone, a vomiting whale, a ship full of critics, Martin Amis and D.H. Lawrence, and a lot of noses.
From Publisher's Weekly:
Best known in this country for his cartoon version of The Waste Land, British cartoonist Rowson (Lower Than Vermin: An Anatomy of Thatcher's Britain, etc.) rises to a new challenge in this comic-book rewrite of Laurence Sterne's nine-volume 1767 masterpiece. Solemn figures like Eliot, Marx and the Iron Lady are, after all, longstanding objects of fun: it's easy to laugh at a sourpuss. But Tristram Shandy is already just about as cartoonish as The Great Books get: a mock-novel packed equally with philosophical digressions and physical comedy. Rowson never quite gets around this obstacle; he simply goes over the top by trying to out-bawdy the bawdy and out-slapstick the slapstick. Near the middle of the book, Oliver Stone starts filming a movie version of Uncle Toby's military misadventures ("From a Place Called Namur to Hell and Back"). That's the sort of spoof this is, and Rowson makes it the occasion for parodies of a surprising range of graphic predecessors, not just Hogarth and Piranesi, but also Dürer, Beardsley and Grosz (to name a few of his many un-Augustan pictorial lampoons).

From Kirkus:
Rowson's graphic novel of Laurence Sterne's famous ``cock and bull'' story (often called the first modern novel) will disappoint readers looking for a ``Classic Comics'' crib version. Which is, of course, the very strength of this wickedly inventive re-creation of Sterne's notoriously self-reflexive book. Employing a visual style that blends Hogarth with Gilbert Shelton (of Furry Freak Bros. fame), Rowson himself shows up on the page for some meta-level commentary of his own, and reimagines scenes from Sterne in the styles of Dürer, Beardsley, Grosz, and George Harriman, not to mention one from Oliver Stone's movie version. Rowson also rewrites key passages in the manner of Martin Amis, Raymond Chandler, and García Márquez (among others). Tackling such an inherently unadaptable novel, Rowson nevertheless selects many of the most memorable sections for extended visualizations: Tristram's birth and naming, Uncle Toby's famous wound and hobbyhorse, and the history of family noses. All provide occasion for Sterne's bawdy, which Rowson makes somewhat more explicit. As critical commentary and scholarly play, this rude and splendid comic book will delight true Shandeans.
