Her landlord, Mr. Hudson, reveals some [...]

Her manga series spawned an anime, a movie, and a TV show. She’s being asked to come up with another series, which leads to her confession — her popular series was based on ideas and character designs from someone else who died ten years [...]

The Pass by Katriona Chapman

The pass, in restaurant terms, is where dishes wait to go out together, where a final inspection is done or a garnish or finishing touch added. It often separates the kitchen and workers from the dining room and the rest of the world. The Pass by Katriona Chapman is an affecting graphic novel about a young chef finding herself. I was immediately and pleasantly struck by the borderless, full-color pages, softly illustrated, with panels inset against background images. (You can [...]

Rea Irvin’s The Smythes

Rea Irvin’s The Smythes is a prestige hardcover from New York Review Comics reprinting a Sunday comic from the 1930s. Although I didn’t finish all the reprinted comic strips, which were much of a similarity, I found the historical information surrounding them fascinating. Rea Irvin is best known for creating Eustace Tilley, the snob with the butterfly who was on the first cover of The New Yorker and has become the mascot of the magazine. Irvin’s art style, appeal, and [...]

Green Manor

Sherlockians make the best recommendations. I saw this mentioned in a fan group and as soon as I heard the concept, I knew I’d enjoy it. Green Manor is a translated French comic, published by Cinebook Espresso, about an English club in the late 1800s where men gather to talk over vengeance and murder, or even to commit same. It’s complete in two volumes, Assassins and Gentleman and The Inconvenience of Being Dead. (The second volume is almost twice the [...]
