SUMMARY: THE NEW HISTORICAL FICTION OF THE SERVITUDE SCENARIST! It was around the year 1000 that Leif Eriksonn's drakkars reached a new land. From this terra incognita, Vinland, the Vikings will bring back the map describing their course. A parchment that will change the destiny of the Christian? Does not the Bible say that man was cast out of paradise... far east of Eden? Many will be the fools of God who will try to seize what could be the path to their redemption. Thus the map of the new world had to change the face of the old.
Would William have won? this battle if, by the fury of his brother Odon, a certain branch of the Church had not done everything to remove this card from the Hardrada king of the vikings? Betrayal, the power of relics (unless it is only fortunate coincidence) are on the agenda of the biggest battle in the history of the Middle Ages.

Would really appreciate an update, please?

Nelson is a 250-page collaboration between 54 of the UK’s most exciting comic creators. It is an unprecedented experiment to create one complete story – a collective graphic novel.

London, 1968. A daughter is born to Jim and Rita Baker. Her name is Nel. This is her story, told in yearly snapshots. Each chapter records the events of a single day, weaving one continuous ribbon of pictures and text that takes us on a 43- year journey from Nel Baker’s birth to 2011.

Based on an original idea by Rob Davis and co-edited by Davis and Woodrow Phoenix, Nelson celebrates the incredible diversity of talent in British comics today. Creators known for their editorial and national newspaper strips unite with those from humour comics such as the Beano, The Dandy, and MAD Magazine joining a wealth of talent from children’s books, indie publishing and webcomics, with the science fiction and superhero worlds of 2000AD, Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse.

Part exquisite corpse and part relay race, Nelson spans decades of British history and a myriad of stylistic approaches in telling the story of one woman’s life by 54 creators, in 54 episodes, detailing 54 days. The result is a surprising and compellingly readable book that is sad, funny, moving, poignant, ridiculous, heartfelt, and real. This is a story like none you have seen before.

Carthage 01 - The Breath of Baal
Date published: 23/06/2010
Writer: DAVID Fabrice , LASSABLIÈRE Grégory
Colorist: LUBIÈRE Romain
Illustrator: KOEHLER Ana-Luiza
SUMMARY: The priests of the city of Carthage venerate their God Baal Hamon. This ceremony, the "Molk", is a major event within the city, because it must make the Gods good for the future. During this rite, the priests sacrifice 12 young children of noble families. If one of the children survives, he joins the "children of Tanit", who represent the elite soldiers of Carthage. They are indeed feared in the rest of the world. Jolkmar, one of the senators, is offended by this barbarous and cruel ceremony. He speaks with his friend Arbalan of the political model that Carthage must adopt to modernize in the eyes of the world. However, he is far from unanimous: his words can turn against him in the very heart of the Senate. For the time being, the Senate is debating its commercial problems, as well as its military position in Sicily, which puts them at odds with Rome. Their Sicilian allies are asking for help to rid them of Roman legions. The Senate speaks and sends a troop to empty Sicily and restore the authority of Carthage. General Hamilcar takes command of some ships to lead the children of Tanit into battle. They also bring Gallic mercenaries, Numidian figures and horsemen who are stationed in Carthage...

Illustrator: KOEHLER Ana-Luiza
SUMMARY: THE MISSING LIFE OF ONE OF THE GREATEST FIGURES OF ANTIQUITY: HANNIBAL !!
Pax Romana reigns over the Mediterranean since the defeat of Carthage. Before dying, Hamilcar Barca swore an oath to Hannibal, his son: dedicate his life to the destruction of Rome! In Cartagena, even the oldest warriors bow to the strength and intelligence of the young "Child of Tanit". Nothing seems to be able to stop walking forward. Behind the scenes, Rome worries and plots to push him to the fault. How could they suspect that it is a young slave who will definitely change the fate of the two Empires and mark the epic of Hannibal the Great?

Uhh.... huh?!?

For once I am going to offer a personal perspective. And while my opinion may be somewhat simplistic and pedestrian, I can't tell if this is supposed to be a bold new frontier of 'Art' or simply a Rorschach test disguised as art. Even when it is free here I think I wasted my time downloading it. But hey, decide for yourself.

100 Scenes
Art
108 pages

“...an open novel, for you to project your mind into. Every page is a stimulating field for your imagination...”

The images are raw scans of original pages made using cheap acrylic paint on sheets of ordinary office paper. The pages were made over a period of 4 or 5 years. It took a few weeks to select which hundred to assemble into this book, and a few more weeks to decide on which order to put the pages.

Most of the marks were made using a technique known as decalcomania. You spread ink or paint on a surface, then print off that surface, which results in chaotic, organic, blotty shapes. The Surrealist artist Oscar Domínguez invented this technique in 1936. Max Ernst made several paintings which used decalcomania along with other techniques.

Among other places, Tim Gaze is proud of the work published in Abstract Comics: The Anthology, VLAK 1, noology & 100 Scenes. He lives in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia.
