Navis by Attakus

Attakus makes INSANELY detailed figurines! This is Nävis as she appears in the comic book series of the same name, prequel to the famous Sillage, and she’s done very faithfully to José-Luis Munuera’s design (as opposed to Philippe Buchet’s design figurine, which I also have
It’s my new favorite figurine ever, so much detail and complexity! And only 350 made… The pics are from the box because I lost my camera’s cable.

Who knew Peter Pan could be cool?

Tinkerbell vs. Clochette

So I’ve read the six-volume french comic book mini-series Peter Pan by Régis Loisel (published between 1990 and 2004), which is essentially a prequel to the old Peter and Wendy story. It’s full of graphic, yet believable, violence, and covers many adult themes, both in Peter’s early miserable life in Dickens-like London and the turbulent events in Neverland leading up to the status quo at the beginning of Peter and Wendy. I *really* should brush up on my French.

And I think Loisel’s Tinkerbell looks way cool. And Hook is just perfect.

For the bonus, check out what Peter Pan and the fairies who taught him to fly looked like in the earliest 1906 book which was retconned to make Peter and Wendy in 1911.
