A.L.I.E.E.N. by Lewis Trondheim is the strangest of the group. Presented as a reprint of a comic book from another planet, it includes (minimal) dialogue in some untranslatable language. Anyone familiar with the bizarre works of Jim Woodring, who specializes in creating mute, inexplicable worlds of beauty and danger, will immediately see kinship between the two authors. The book looks, at arm's length, like something for kids, with cute characters akin to Pokemon, interacting in a colorful environment. But a closer read reveals a cruel world of domination and subjugation that often involves weird forms of violence...
...Dungeon vol. 2 by Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim...
...Created by two of France's top cartoonists, Lewis Trondheim and Joann Sfar (who also saw the release of his excellent solo graphic novel, The Rabbi's Cat, this year), the Dungeon series, which parodies such "sword and sandal" works as Conan or Lord of the Rings, has become a huge hit in its native country.

...Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim's "Dungeon" has all it takes to be as big here as in Europe - except maybe the support of a broad, comix-reading audience. Too bad. It's one of the best comedy / adventure comics in print, filled with amusing characters, great visual imagination and involving stories. You should let it take you away on the back of a hipplodontus...
