Jess Smart Smiley – författare

Harold, the sugar-loving vampire boy, is back with all his spooky friends for an all-new adventure! In the wake of Book One, witches are no longer plaguing the country... but their hats remain, charged with magical mischief! Jess Smart Smiley returns for a delightful all-ages romp in beautiful black, white, and green.

This volume of C'est Bon Anthology explores the Good, the Bad, and the Putrid. An Expiration Date is the point dividing a period of time in "before" and "after". And the after rarely smells very good. The graphic short stories in C'est Bon Anthology vol. 12 Expiration Date, all deal with things that expire, whether it be bodily flesh, or emotions that change and turn sour. Although we like to think that C'est Bon Anthology ages like fine wine, you should definitely read this issue while it's fresh. Volume 12 features Mari Ahokoivu (FI), Oskar Aspman (SE), Ole Comoll (DK), Davide Catania (IT), Carolin Hansson (SE), Victor Kerlow (US), Sarah Kläpp (SE) and Jess Smart Smiley (US). Fine, fine narrative art, by the best professionals anywhere.

There are many kinds of levels out there: Physical, psychological, spiritual and digital. Every story in C´est Bon Anthology vol. 13 is on a level of its own. In "Giving Ground", Lars Krantz shows the passing of time as a mechanism in body and clockwork alike. In Chad Verrill's stories, medieval art meets video game graphics and creates a unique vision. Victor Kerlow blurs the line between being awake and dreaming, in a story called "Weird Things Downstairs". Veiko Tammjärv creates iconic narrative art scapes in "Ape and the City", where story is symbolic as much as it is sequential. And more stories, more levels. Volume 13 features Niklas Asker (SE), Allan Haverholm (DK), Victor Kerlow (US), Lars Krantz (SE), Lawrence Marvit (US), Jess Smart Smiley (US), Veiko Tammjärv (EST), Chad Verrill (US), Rikke Villadsen (DK) and Henric Wallmark (SE). Beautiful narrative art by the best artists on every level.

10 years of C’est Bon, 10 years of broadening the horizons of what comics can be, 10 years of comics as art, of art as comics. We celebrate this with return appearances of some of the great artists who have been in the anthology before and a CBQ&A with one of the founding members, Oskar Aspman.

C’est Bon Anthology is an anthology of graphic short stories from artists from all over the world. The selected works are based on a will to experiment and a passion for telling good stories. A mix of established artists and new talent. First regular issue in full color!
