[Groop] Fables

[J Brooks]

Ive never heard of it, thanks for the info.

Speaking of Enrique Breccia...today they release Swamp Thing #1, of interest 
to me only because it is being written by Andy Diggle (who is writing The 
Losers, which I am enjoying greatly), and the art is by....you guessed it, 
Enrique Breccia.  Im not familiar with his art but will be once i purchase 
Swamp Thing.

There is an Argentinean comic book (graphic novel) called The Dreamer ( not 
an accuarte translation for El Sueñero), by Enrique Breccia. I guess from 
what I heard of Fables that it has a little of a reminiscence. This is a 
story of a sailor, that hunts mythical creatures to sell to a circus. And it 
all gets weirder and weirder with the passing pages. The art is excellent, a 
little dark, and the whole book has some comedy. I really like it, and that 
is the type of comic books / graphic novels that i buy and read besides 
Groo, of course. It is probably rated R in this country.
Enrique Breccia comes from a family of comic artists. His father, the late 
Alberto Breccia was one of the pioneers of "historietas" in Argentina. His 
style is different from anything else, each little "frame" of his comics is 
a painting on its own. For a sample of his work: 
http://www.lambiek.net/breccia.htm Enrique's sisters, Patricia and Cristina, 
are also a well known artist in Argentina. There is a comics school in 
Argentina founded and run by the Breccias, and the students publish a little 
magazine that is generally really good.

I don't know what is available in English. Alberto Breccia has some "mute" 
comic books that are really good also.
