Sin City 7 - Hell and Back




"I finally ask.

Esther--why did you jump?

She doesn´t answer for the longest damn time. Then, her voice low:

I was lonely.

That rotten town. Those it can´t corrupt, it soils.

Those it can´t soil, it kills.

That rotten town. Miles behind us now. Fading into memory.

A bright day dawns.

We talk about all sorts of things."

The Raven




Não sei nada.

Não sei quando sai. Não sei se tem várias edições. Não sei se o BookDepository vai ter.
Só sei que lhe vou deitar as mãos assim que for possível.

35º Aniversário de Wolverine

A Marvel está a celebrar o 35º aniversário de Wolverine, uma das personagens mais carismáticas da Casa das Ideias. Para o evento, várias capas de algumas das séries da Marvel estão a ser desenhadas com Logan. O mais interessante é que são elaboradas com inspiração em artistas de renome como Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol e muitos mais! Achei a ideia fantástica e uma grande jogada de Marketing. Estou curioso por mais capas, mas para já deixo-vos com 2 delas inspiradas em Van Gogh e Klimt, respectivamente. Para verem mais, basta clicar aqui.
Enjoy!

Sin City 6 - Booze, Broads, & Bullets



"I can´t remember for the life of me.

Take a deep breath. Let it out slow. Relax. Think. Put the pieces together, one by one, the way Lucille´s shrink girlfriend taught you to.

Relax. Think. It´s saturday...

... it´s saturday, so I must´ve started the night at Kadie´s joint. Watching Nancy.

Yeah. Just another saturday night. Me and all the other losers like me, sucking back the sauce and drooling like fools over Nancy.

Just another saturday night.


Boy, that Nancy sure is something..."

Sin City 5 - Family Values




"Well, back before Bruno became a champion for family values--

--back when he was still doing the kind of work he enjoyed--

--Bruno caught up with a stoolie. The stoolie, he´d just that evening picked up a raving beauty of a gal.

Not fond of leaving witnesses in any condition to testify, Bruno plugged the both of them.

The stoolie was nobody special. There was nobody who counted who missed him.

But the beauty--she was Andrea Vittoria Magliozzi--

--beloved niece of Giacco Magliozzi--

--also known as Don Magliozzi--

--undisputed ruler of the region´s Cosa Nostra.

Revenge!"

Ben Templesmith's Dracula



Templesmith está de volta e em grande! Ilustrar "Drácula" de Bram Stocker é arriscado mas prevejo algo de fenomenal. Acho que no mundo dos comics não há ninguém mais adequado para uma adaptação destas do que o australiano. Espero ansiosamente pelo resultado final. Em pre-order no bookdepository. Deixo-vos 2 ilustrações tiradas do blog de Templesmith.
Boas leituras!

Sin City 4 - That Yellow Bastard



"Just when she´s got the crowd ready to vaporlock, she slows it down, turning, rising, lighter than air, an angel dancing among the clouds.

And here I was expecting a skinny little bookworm, maybe a bit to shy for her own good. How little she told me about herself, in all her letters, over all those years.

She told me nothing. Nothing that would give her away. How the hell did they find her?

Then it hits me. They didn´t.

They didn´t find her. They were bluffing.

They were counting on me to be so addled after eight years in solitary I´d fall for their crummy bluff. And I did.

And I´ve led them straight to her."

Sin City 3 - The Big Fat Kill


"Distant desert thunder. It rolls on forever. Gail gives me a quick elbow to the ribs and giggles at how I practically jump out of my skin. She guides my glance upward to the pixie perched at the roof´s edge.

Deadly little Miho.

Those poor slobs. Those stupid, drunken slobs. Less than ten minutes ago I was ready to kill them myself. Now I almost want to run after them and tell them to get their sorry butts the hell out of here before it´s too late.

But I wouldn´t get ten steps. The ladies are the law, here. It´s suicide to cross them."

Sin City 2 - A Dame to Kill For



"I call her every foul name there is.
She makes my name sound like music, like a chant to some Dark God.

She´s slippery with sweat.

Before long my hatred´s spent but she won´t let go.
She kisses and coaxes me and the fire grows again.

I´m draged to the ground by a jungle cat.
She devours me and I thank her for it."
