Saturday, August 9th, 2008It all started back when we were playing Call of Cthulhu a couple years ago. Caleb, the keeper of arcane lore (the CoC version of the Dungeon Master) lent his copy of Dungeon: Duck Heart to me. I read this French produced comic book knock off of D&D and really liked it, but I didn’t want to borrow another volume because I knew I didn’t have time to read it.
Flash forward to last week or so. Now I’m working on comic books, finally, and since my studio is above RX Comics I am in the comic shop weekly to see what’s on the shelves – something that hasn’t happened since I had a box subscription at the comic shop in Abbotsford while I went to college there. On top of a pile of books I saw this:
I flipped through it and saw that there were two stories in the book. I remembered how much I liked Duck Heart and decided to give this a go. It was wonderful! Charming, cunning, hilarious, and pleasing to the eye. I was so taken that I went back in to RX a day or two later and asked if they had more. And they do! I picked up this:
which was even better than the other two. Another couple of days and I’ve picked up two more, which I haven’t read yet. But I just had to blog about the best comic book find since Hellboy!
