This book is a collection of two books, Memories of Outer Space<\/span> and Memories of Other Times<\/span>, which are both in turn collections of short comics illustrated by Enki Bilal. Bilal is a European comic creator who was born in Yugoslavia but brought up in Paris. His best known works are probably the Nikopol<\/span> and the Beast<\/span> trilogies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For all but six of the stories, Bilal is also the writer as well as illustrator. The stories all date from 1972 – 1981 and vary in length from a single page to 10 pages but with most being done about 3-5 pages in length. Thematically the stories tend to fall into three categories – space opera, near future and horror – and can be serious or comic.<\/p>\n

As with most collections there is a variability in quality in the story telling but, in the main, the art is exceptional and a good illustration of the European style. For myself, I tended to prefer the grander SF\/space opera stories rather than the horror ones in this collection but found myself frustrated by the short length of the stories and longing for a meatier story to sink myself into. But nevertheless an interesting collection worthy of investigation if you have never come across Bilal’s work before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
