This science fiction noir by Léo Quievreux features page after page of dark, angular, moody, high contrast black and white art that looks a bit like it could have been executed by a sophisticated AI based on an algorithmically derived hybrid of Charles Burns and Eric Haven. Originally released in France, it has an unmistakable European feel despite its arguably American theme of techno-paranoia. Here in these 160 A4 size pages, readers will be taken on a journey through a technological meta-mind where tracking takes place through – and in – a "playback" of memories that can be coordinated spatially as well as temporally through a new piece of technology dubbed the EP-1, which is itself the center of the plot, making for a labyrinthian story structure. Now available in an English translation by François Vigneault courtesy of the adventuous publishing arm of Portland, Oregon's Floating World Comics. A story for our times...

Zine Panique, Extra Pellicula (Outside the Movie) is listed as #1, implyting more to come...? This is a cool concept and a good issue, so it seems like it "has legs"
And the concept? Each contributor picks a film and imagines an extra scene, in the form of a short comic. In the 60 glossy pages of this square bound softcover, the stories unfold in black & white, duo-tone and full color. Some are wordless, some are in English and somes are in French, and the publisher has thoughtfully included an insert sheet providing a panel-by-panel translation of the French language works into English, so it's a simple matter those Anglophones non-conversent en français to follow along.
Front and back covers by Sammy Harkham (and back cover is a full color 12-panel comic!)
Comics: by Ethan Llewellyn, Matthew Thurber, Andres Magan, Steve Grove, David Enos, Léo Quievreux x Samplerman, Jemma Sharp (aka J. Webster Sharp), Corinne Halbert, David Brohet, Telmo Braun and Masse
And, the chosen films for which the extra scene has been imaged are: Edwin S. Poeter's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (the first, from 1910); Tod Browning's Freaks; Fellini's La Notti di Cabiria; John Sturges''s The Great Escape; Jaques Rivette's Celine and Julie Go Boating; Ken Russell's The Devils; Nicholas Gessner's The Little Girl Who Lies Down the Lane; Robert Altman's 3 Women; Fellini Satyricon; Eraserhead; Transpotting; and Tampopo.
Added fun bonus: match the comic makers to the films, then check your guesses once it arrives in the mail.
