Bandette Volume 1 Comics Graphic novels online There s a bunch of bonuses at the end of the book but the best by far is Coover s step by step walkthrough on how she did the pencils inks and coloring for this book largely digitally Honestly it really didn t mean anything to me since I m not at all artistic But I can picture this being hugely helpful with aspiring artists And I really can t remember ever seeing a tutorial this detailed as a bonus in a comic book Comics Graphic Novels Fiction Von der Qualit t dieses Web Comics bin ich vollkommen berrascht Warum habe ich geglaubt dass Web Comics zeichnerisch eher weniger ansprechend sind Tobins BANDETTE ist toll gezeichnet und in gewisser Weise vergleichbar mit Die fabelhafte Welt der Amelie BANDETTE ist unkonventionell charmant und setzte sich ber bliche Genregrenzen mit spielerischer Leichtigkeit hinweg Ein Wohlf hlcomic und das ist in keiner Weise abwertend zu verstehen BANDETTE hat etwas kindlich Naives und diese Qualit t findet sich in heutigen Comics viel zu selten Von Superman Co ist sie genauso weit entfernt wie von Donald Duck Wunderbar eigensinnig eigenartig und einzigartig Presto Comics Graphic Novels Fiction A stylishly nostalgic little package the cat burglar comic Bandette by husband and wife team Paul Tobin writer and Colleen Coover artist brings to mind the clear lines and bold colors of Herg s Tintin the romanticized view of Paris typical of American movies from the 1950s and 60s such as An American in Paris and the strong life affirming community minded femininity celebrated in Marston s early Wonder Woman comics from the 1940s Ironically Coover has created the book s gorgeous retro look largely on the computer not the most nostalgic approach. Book bandette volume 1 online While I enjoyed Bandette s sense of design and nostalgia I found the plot too generic and the characters too one dimensional to be truly engaging I never really cared about the protagonist in particular and by the book s end I had even grown a little tired of her always vibrant smile and charming personality but maybe that s just grumpy old me Comics Graphic Novels Fiction Girl bandit wildly fun with a Chief Inspector Dreyfus like boss Pink Panther but she is no Clouseau she is funny and fun and accomplished in martial arts and no buffoon She is like Robin Hood in that while she is a thief she steals from the rich while she also works for the police This is a colorful Eisner award winning digital comic that has now been turned into a book which in this volume ends with stories written by Tobin and drawn by artists other than the original artist Colleen Coover and there are really cool and instructional sections at the end of the book about how the writing and art got created which is pretty impressive This is really good stuff with a strong girl character Way fun maybe especially for teens even tweens though younger kids might like it too and well I did Comics Graphic Novels Fiction Bandette feels like a comic book adaptation of a beloved yet campy 60s TV show like Adam West s Batman whose heroes and villains are gleefully parodying their roles the storylines are wilfully crazy and a freewheeling sense of fun pervades the entire enterprise but of course it isn t Bandette is an original comic by husband and wife team Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover starring Maxime Plouffe a young lady and our heroine who trips the light fantastic as her alter ego Bandette the gentlewoman thief liberating works of art from those who have acquired them through illicit means Assisting her is her little dog Pimento a delivery boy called Daniel street kids and a trio of ballerinas But her numerous escapades bring her to the attention of a criminal organisation masquerading as a charity Friends In Need Improvement Society or FINIS for short who decide to get rid of Bandette once and for all Bandette is a really really charming and delightful character and book If you re looking for dark and brooding characters or a world grounded in harsh realism you won t find it here Bandette is a character who is constantly smiling and is surrounded by friends who help her in her puckish rogue adventures she s no dark solitary operator Paul Tobin writes the book in a very breezy lightweight and accessible style How dare you shoot at me How rude where even though real threats like bank robbers and gangsters appear they re not dealt with with over the top violence instead Bandette utilises knockout spray another feature that reminded me of Batman 66 and acting to outwit her foes The comic is drawn in a strongly European influenced style probably to match the French setting like the Commissioner Gordon type character Inspector B. Bandette volume 1 pdf free download D Belgique who looks like a cross between Goscinny and Uderzo s Asterix and Dupuy and Berberian s Monsieur Jean while the settings have a distinctly Herge Tintin flavour to them It s also coloured in a painted style similar to Jill Thompson s beautiful Beasts of Burden books but I don t want to take anything away from Colleen Coover her art in this book is definitely her own and absolutely gorgeous I mention all of these artists to say that she s in good company and the comic looks great The settings appear clearly but look almost dreamlike when the eye focuses on the characters like a watercolour and her character designs for Bandette Monsieur and Matadori are outstanding The facial expressions especially are subtle but distinct and in certain panels she even fools you into missing certain details that when you turn back you notice were there all along I m thinking of the pickpocketing scenes in particular which displays a truly masterful technique The story itself of Bandette her rival Monsieur Leon Corvo Absinthe and FINIS is really fun and I loved reading it for that but it s the little details that put this book over the top for me That Bandette is a hero who in her downtime enjoys reading books is great that her outfit turns into civilian clothes is brilliant and that her hideout is accessed through a puddle is amazing I love that Belgique constantly swears but that his expletives are deleted which again reminded me of Asterix where Goscinny and Uderzo came up with the most amazing ways to represent swearing without using words There s also one scene in a graveyard where Bandette fights Matadori an assassin hired by FINIS to bring Bandette to them and their fight after the theatrical flourishes both love saying precisely for their theatricality And so We meet at last Yes I ve always wanted to say that divulges into a discussion about clothing as they re fighting Bandette By the way your cape is very nice.
