Comics | US Comics | Euro ComicsJust in time for the weekend I got my orders for
Mondo Lirondo: The Ultimate Collection and
Lackadaisy: Volume 1.
Lackadaisy: Volume 1 is the first collected volume of the webcomic of
the same name by American artist
Tracy J. Butler.

For those not familiar with this series, it’s a highly detailed take on the
1920’s Prohibition Era. Set in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, the story revolves around the owner and employees of the
speakeasy “
Lackadaisy.” The story’s settings is filled with politicians,
moonshiners, gangsters, assassins,
Tommy guns, booze and
flappers. Very recommendable.
Available via
4th Dimension Entertainment (online store).
Mondo Lirondo: The Ultimate Collection is the complete collected works of the comic book series from the European Spanish artist collective
Colectivo La Penya. Very unusual but entertaining.
Available via
FNAC España. I’m not aware of any translated version of the book other than Spanish.

Comics | Euro ComicsHere’s what I’m reading right now,
Blacksad #5 “Amarillo” by writer
Juan Diaz Canales and drawn by
Guarnido (Juanjo Guarnido):


Here’s a translation of the blurb:
“…John Blacksad is tired of all the violence and misery around him, so he decides to take his time before returning home. Luck seems to smile on him when a stranger hires him to deliver his car, a brand new Cadillac Eldorado model, from New Orleans to Tulsa. But the south roads are as dusty as they are unpredictable, and Blacksad unwittingly finds himself driving from one end of the US to another, in order to solve a murder involving biker parades, lawyers, writers and even a bloody circus!…”.
Currently the issue is only in French and available on
Amazon.fr and
FNAC. For US artists, check
Stuart Ng Books in the coming months for its release here.
