Another Carl Barks collection from Fantagraphics, this time from 1958-1962.
Read that one a few months ago. It's not bad, indeed. It helped me to appreciate Zatanna more. :)
To appreciate Z best, I'd recommend checking out her earliest appearances in the Julius Schwartz-edited, Gardner Fox-written issues of Hawkman, Atom, Green Lantern and JLA. Can't help it, I'm just a fiend for '60s-era comics.
I have several of those in my collection but haven't read them yet. Thanks for the alert, though, @BeatlesSansEarmuffs. Now I have a strong incentive to read them. ;-)
Zatanna also works well in the Constantine universe, IMO. I actually think DC pulls its "magic" stuff off like a boss. Years ago, I was repulsed by the notion of sorcery and talking trees and whatnot, outside the realm of Ra's that is. But then I read SWAMP THING by Alan Moore, and boy, THAT work of beauty changed EVERYTHING! I fell in love with this world instantly.
In real life Dini is married to a magician who looks like Zatanna!
Falk was quite a character himself, and created two of the most iconic comic book characters of the 1930s.
Mine too, closely followed by Hans Lindahl:
Not familiar with him, but one I liked was Jaime Vallve.
Yes, Jaime Vallvé had a very recognisable style. He also illustrated some of the more interesting stories I've read – particularly the ones which were set in the past. Great stuff.
Hans Lindahl was one of the first Phantom artists I became familiar with when I began reading The Phantom in the late 90's. His drawing style is just so brilliant. He also did a few original stories for Agent X9 back in the early 90's (I've not had the chance to read those, though):
Another one I also really like, is César Spadari:
I've yet to see collections of Hans Lindahl and César Spadari's stories. If Egmont ever make some, I'll definitely buy them.
Loved this series as a child. In Norway, Luc Orient is known as Kim West.

I loved this at the age of seven. After several rereads, I must confess it isn t all that great.
I wonder if any of these old comics (Bruno Brasil, Ric Hochet etc). are available as ebooks for Kindle/iPad? I really want to read more of these, but can't bring myself to start collecting actual album format comic books to do so.
I am not aware of any such thing, but there is a huge possibility it will come to pass in the future.
I know Tintin and Spirou are available as ebooks, but haven't seen many others. I hope it's something publishers will look at though.
Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche is another series I'd like to see in a digital format.
I was a bit skeptic towards this "continuation" album since the creators, Greg and Vance, have both passed away. But this was great, even better than some of the original albums. It picks up where the old series ended, and takes place in 1977. Very much looking forward to part 2. This one ended on a really intriguing cliffhanger.
That is an awefull lot of old Marvel to enjoy, I prefer it easily to the cinematic versions, for my taste they have never gotten Spiderman correct and while I enjoy the Netflix Daredevil he is a tad to dark for my taste.
Doesn't hold a candle to the originals :-(
