...genius with their fists. It can therefore be quite a shock to read a comic about four adult friends who struggle with issues of career, relationships and sobriety. At last, something I can relate to! The second and third issues of Henrik Rehr's "Tuesday" (Kim-Rehr Productions; 24 pp; $2.95), with its group portrait of New York sophisticates, reads like the movie Woody Allen hasn't made in years...

Sorry for the delay, folks, but I've been waiting for something to write about. I finally found it in Paul Hornschemeier's new book, "Mother Come Home" (Dark Horse Books; 128 pp.; $15.95), a collection of issues two through four of his "Forlorn Funnies" series of comicbooks. TIME.comix first spotted Hornschemeier's work two years ago, with his amusing and experimental first issue. Now his graphic novel smartly puts formalism at the mercy of a serious story...
...mystery begins, but not on the streets of L.A., Chicago or New York. This is "The Bloody Streets of Paris," (ibooks; 192 pp.; $17.95), Jacques Tardi's comix adaptation of Leo Malet's 1942 French detective novel, "120, rue de la Gare." Instead of fedoras you get berets. Instead of bars you get cafes. But pretty much everything else that typifies the P.I. genre - sleazebags, oafish cops and beautiful girls - stays the same. With a fascinating French twist, the action takes place during the Nazi occupation. Where most detective fiction involves a city unofficially run by gangsters, here the villains...
