Nozzman #4

The fourth installment of this Belgian indie series finds Nozzman's bespectacled, red-helmeted protagonist standing hesitantly before a large red door — its peculiar keyhole shape hinting at puzzles or passages yet to be navigated. The entire package, from writing to cover art, is the solo work of Nozzman, giving the series a refreshingly personal, unified vision. At 8,95 EUR, this 2010 Silvester release is a charming slice of European alternative comics with a wonderfully deadpan sense of humor.
