furtech | Neat Comic!

Yesterday

martes showed me a comic she'd bought that day. "Neotopia" by Rod Espinoza is a delightful series in the spirit of Miyazaki and many of the European fantasy comics. I enjoyed his COURAGEOUS PRINCESS series and this series has the potential to be just as enjoyable. I hope I'm not being disrespectful in making a two-bit comparison, but Neotopia is like a cross between the original Star Wars movie and Miyazaki's Nausica. And the good news is that (I believe) all five issues of the second series is already out! [edit: actually, all ten issues of volumes one and two are out; the first issue of the third series may also be out now]

Note to

okojosan: The issue she bought, Neotopia v.2.1, heavily features a group of hyena pirates! They're terrific characters: scruffy, yet charming.

Here's a link to a review:

And on a totally unrelated subject: Does anyone have any idea what the heck the lyrics to Springstein's "Blinded by the Light" mean?!? I thought the problem was that I couldn't make out all the words, but a check of a convenient lyric site shows me that I clearly have *no* idea what they mean!
