Requested The Collected Toppi: Vol.1 The Enchanted World from my library’s interloan service, and the library that responded gave me Vol 1-3! Three library loans for the price of one, haha.

I dig Toppi’s linework. He’s a very technical artist, and the work is very detailed and intricate. I’m also a sucker for black and white comics, which is mostly why I requested him after seeing a few people recommend him online for b&W bandee dessinee. The stories from Vol. 1 are all dark fairy tales basically, they’re quite short and simple in the storytelling, not a lot of dialogue or plot. But damn, are they atmospheric.

If you have a local library, you should definitely check if they have an inter-library loan service. The majority of comics I have requested, they’ve been able to find. I also got The Collected Crepax Vol.1 from them as well, which I’ll post when I get the chance.

Been in a B&W type of mood, if you guys have any more recommendations, let me know ;)
