2020.03.24 Dispatches From the Wasteland – Day 7

Just read Albert Uderzo died. 92 years old. Heck of a run.

The Asterix comics he and Goscinny created together are one of the 3 books that gave me my love of comics (and reading in general). Asterix totally holds up and if you’ve never read them or if it’s been a while you should probably do so. I mean, you’re literally locked in your house for the foreseeable future. If not now, when?

Still finding it nigh-impossible to focus on “big-boy” books, whether eye-reading or ear-reading so I’m just rereading comics. I’m about a quarter of the way through my read of the new coloured Master Edition of FROM HELL (which is even more incredible than I thought, which is saying something given I believe it to be Moore’s best work).

Started what is probably my 10th reread of INJECTION by Warren Ellis & Declan Shalvey. It’s currently on hiatus as Shalvey has other work he’s been focusing on (I’m very interested in checking out his BOG BODIES graphic novel) but there’s sooooo much in the 15 issues we have that I can happily reread them for as long as is required until the series can continue.

Ellis, Shalvey, Bellaire. INJECTION, Issue 7. Image Comics. I don’t know how to cite comics and I ain’t lookin’ it up.

Stay safe out there, sinners of the wasteland.
