Was in Bangkok, Thailand for three days for the Liverpool FC friendly. Also took the time to check out some Thai comics and this is what I picked up. |
| Picked up Black Boy: Kill 'Em All by The Duang; a hardcover graphic novel that looks like a gangster story. Great black and white art with a "Punisher"-type logo on the jacket of the main character who we see in black below. It's uber violent. I figure Quentin Tarantino is an influence here. |
Here are other Thai comics that I got.
Beansprout & Firehead in the Infinite Sadness by Songsin Somboon is like a cross between The Nightmare Before Christmas and Jay Fosgitt's Bodie Troll. It has a creepy vibe to it. Think of a Gothic Bone or Adventures of Jellaby (by Kean So). Intriguing.
The quirky sounding Something Sometime Somewhere Everyday by Sasi Weerasethakul looks like a children's book. It seems to be a story about a journey of some friends. Love the artwork that is rendered in water color.
