Whiteout

I'm glad that you liked it. It was my pleasure.

(Well, sort of. It was a pleasure, but it was also lot of hard work. By the time I was finished, my home was covered in tiny pieces of zipatone and my wife wanted to strangle me. That's typical of most cartoonists, though)

It's a good story for your next comics strip

[SteveLieber]

Heh.

To tell the truth, I think my next comic strip will be this

And for anyone who is curious, you can see a recent story here:

Hi Mr Lieber,

First, congratulation for your work on "Whiteout". For me it's one of the best comics of this year

It's a real pleasure to read you on a french website
What about your next comic ? Will it be publish in France ? Have you send it too Akileos ?

[SteveLieber]

Larcenik, Thanks!

Unfortunately, I've only just begun my next project. It'll be at least a year until it's published in the US,let alone the EU. I'm not even sure who will publish it here. But I'll certainly make sure Akileos gets a copy when it's done. From what I've seen so far, their edition will look better than the one here.

The most recent story I've completed is a sequel to Max Collins' ROAD TO PERDITION. It's called "ON THE ROAD TO PERDITION: SANCTUARY" and was published by Paradox Press, which is a division of DC Comics. I don't have any images of it on my site, but if you search for it in Google, you'll find some preview pages.

Now I'm embarrassing myself. I sound like an advertisement. My apologies.

[SteveLieber]

I should turn the computer off. Larcenik & Lemkor- if you'd like a copy of a short comics story my wife and I created, send me your address. Email it to slieber234(at)yahoo(dot)com

[Larcenik]

Thanks for the informations. Hope we'll read your new comics in France...

[petitboulet]

I would like to say that road to perdition was published in france. it's called "les sentiers de la perdition", and it is published by delcourt. oh, and it's great, really! . A movie was released, with tom hanks, but I didn't see it.
I've only read whiteout so far, and I found it excellent, a great mix of suspens and realism. I've planned to read fusion for months, I WILL read it someday.

thanks for coming mr lieber

[SteveLieber]

Petitboulet:

Thank you. Regarding the first Road to Perdition graphic novel, I recommend it highly- far above my own book. My art on the sequel is not bad, but Richard Piers Rainer's illustration in the original book is astounding. He did a magnificent job of capturing the feeling of the time period.

The free comic book offer is open to you, also. Just email your mailing address to me and I'll put a copy in an envelope and send it.

Hi Mister Lieber,

This week, I’ve read Whiteout and Whiteout – Fusion. These comics are very great and I hope that you will do a third book. Unfortunately, this is according to improbable you !
We feel that you made a hard work on these comics.
I hope therefore that Akileos will edit your next comics in french

Thanks

[SteveLieber]

Kurgan: Thanks!

It occurs to me that I have no idea which Anglophone comics are popular in France and Belgium. Every year I see one or two familiar books listed for an award, but other than that, I have no idea which ones are being translated. What are some of our comics that are finding an audience?

We're getting some Francophone BD translated. Never enough, though. Humanoids USA has been doing a beautiful job with their line of Jodorowsky titles. Enki Bilal has a small following (mostly artists, I'm afraid.) David B's Epileptic was a success. The biggest hit is Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis which is doing very well with people who ordinarily don't read comics.

Hi Steve!

Though I'm not a specialist in US comics, I'll try to answer.
I think most of Alan Moore's are quite big hits here, Mignola's Hellboy also is doing well
(and with the movie coming soon it should do even better). Frank Miller also is a must for
many of us.
The last discovery for me was "The path" (La voie du Samourai in french)
[img]http://www.bedetheque.com/Couvertures/VoieDuSamourai_15112003.jpg[/img]
and Midnight nation

which also been a success here

[Larcenik]

Also well sold in France : One hundred Bullets and Human Target.

[SteveLieber]

Interesting. With that list, you would DEFINITELY enjoy the books I mentioned.

If anyone at Akileos is reading, let me know, and I'll mail out a copy of The Interman. It's one of the smartest adventure/spy/crime books out right now. I helped the artiist draw some backgrounds in one scene, but aside from that part, it's very well drawn.

My biggest influence from Francophone BD is Paul Gillon. Herrimann, too. And Boucq. And Moebius...

[Larcenik]

I took a look at Interman in a comics shop and I'm not convinced... Could you tell me more about the story, plz. I bought Queen&Country...
I think you were talking about Hermann

[SteveLieber]

Oops.You are correct. I meant Hermann:

not Herriman:


(Though I do love Herriman, too...)

As for The Interman, the first scene in the book is online. It's an eight-page sequence that will give you a sense for the character and the storytelling.

The story itself is about a man, Van Meach, who can adapt to any conditions. Someone is trying to kill him, and he'll have to learn the truth about his own origins if he's going to survive. Here are some reviews:

Hi Steve, thank you very much for the links
I hope you'll come back here sometimes

[fredgri]

J'allais justement conseiller, pour ceux qui ont aimé Whiteout de lire la formidable série de Rucka Queen and Country
J'ai cru comprendre que ca devait etre a la base une suite a Whiteout...

Bref c'est une série magnifiquement bien écrite et toujours très bien dessinée aussi !!!

A guy from Akileos comes here time to time, I think its name here is "Akileos" if you want
to reach him by MP...

Lu le 1er Queen & Country. Excellent !
L'héroïne me fait penser à l'agent britannique du premier volet de Whiteout...

[fredgri]

Ben en fait ca devait être sa série à elle, à la base !
Ce qui fait que sous un certain angle Queen and Country peut se lire comme une sorte de suite a Whiteout !!!

Mais tu vas voir les arcs se bonifient au fur et a mesure, du vrai bonheur !!! (je te conseille aussi la série que Rucka ecrit avec Brubaker pour DC: Gotham Central, c'est tres bon !)
