Graphic novel news

If you're looking for something a bit different, Fantagraphics is often a good place to start. This month look out for Cinema Panopticum and Above the Clouds. Cinema Panopticum by Thomas Ott is a collection five horror novelettes, drawn in a scratchy etched style without the need for any text, creating a truly visual journey through fear.

The Clouds Above is about as different as you could get - a colourful children's story by Jordan Crane. Beautifully drawn and multi-layered, this looks set to become the kind of book that is as popular with parents as it is with the children they read it to.
