Nonetheless, I have bought a copy of my very own, and I think a brief survey of highlights will prove valuable - if not to prompt your own taboo-shattering purchase, then at least to afford you valuable conversation fodder for the literally dozens of European comics inquiries you're sure to encounter around the water cooler in this post-Angoulême work week.ĪS SUCH - five categories that best summarize the contents of Eros Gone Wild:Īnd by this I don't mean artists associated with Les Humanoïdes or the French Métal Hurlant who never quite took off across the Atlantic - although be on notice, Daniel Ceppi and Annie Goetzinger superfans, your moment has arrived - I'm talking artists who achieved some quantum of recognition in the North American Heavy Metal, and basically saw their visibility wax and wane by the fortune and inclinations of that mighty newsstand institution.

It's a big, colorful mass of explicit fucking, culled from a quartet of themed anthologies ( Fripons) released by Les Humanoïdes Associés in 20, which themselves were derived from a five-album series dating back to the early 1990s. Just above, for example, you'll note the cover of a new release by Humanoids: Eros Gone Wild, a 304-page hardcover anthology of erotic shorts by a wide variety of European and Euro-approved comics talents, many of whom have seen only occasional English-language publication. Alan Moore also apparently made it to the final round of voting for the Grand Prix, and was presumably rejected out of concern that he'd take things too literally and devote the entirety of next year's exhibition to Roscoe Moscow and Maxwell the Magic Cat (not that I'd mind).īut rest assured, captive readers - I'm not taking my immense powers of comics identification and physical attraction lightly. Well, the confetti and streamers have all been cleaned from New Orleans, and another Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême is behind us! As it happened, this was the first year where I recognized nearly all of the major prize winners, which I am taking as confirmation of my superior world comics know-how, and certainly not an indication of any conservative tendency on the part of the judging bodies, nor an unusual and laudatory incursion of British artists into that most vaunted of European funnybook prize arenas, including a Prix spécial du jury to Glyn Dillon and a Prix Révélation for Jon McNaught.
