British Comic Shop Releases (22nd April 2015) – Time for some Lovelace and Babbage!

Lovelace & Babbage (Pantheon edition)

 

Here’s our list of both British and US comics on sale this week in comic shops (from Wednesday 22nd April 2015), complementing our monthly list of British graphic novel releases (April 2015 release list here).

Top pick this week has to be The Thrilling Adventures Of Lovelace & Babbage by Sydney Padua, published by Pantheon in the US and Penguin in the UK, a highly-anticipated collection of the brilliant web comic concerning the odd footnote to history that was the unrealised invention of the computer in the 1830s by the eccentric polymath Charles Babbage, and his accomplice the peculiar proto-programmer and daughter of Lord Byron, Ada, Countess of Lovelace.

“It is sometimes called a steampunk comic, but as Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace are documented to have been two of the worst-dressed people of the 19th century they’re a bit of a disgrace to the aesthetic,” explains London-based story artist and animator Sydney. “I call it steam-irony. Steam-iron! Get it?? AHAHAahaah .. ahem.”

Lovelace and Babbage (Penguin edition)

Penguin’s cover for the UK edition of Lovelace & Babbage, which I have to say I much prefer to the Pantheon cover.

The strip, 2dGoggles moves forward “in large spasmodic jerks at unexpected intervals, somewhat like a tectonic plate”. Deep below the surface of this website roil the molten Fires of Creation, which bow to no human law (except the Immutable Law of the Day Job). This is why RSS feeds were created. If you’re new to this strip, then start out with this “Secret Origin” tale. Well worth a look and this is definitely a collection you should head out to buy.

(The book will get its official launch at GOSH, London on 30th April – full details here)

There a number of Cinebook titles hitting comic shops this week, including Kenya by Leo (Luiz Eduardo de Oliveira) and Rodolphe (Rodolphe Daniel Jacquette) – an ongoing series of spies, extinct beasts and strange flying lights that is set in post war-Kenya, first published by Dargaud. Released in January, Jeremy Briggs reviewed Kenya: Encounters here on downthetubes. Kenya Volume 3: Aberrations is out this week in bookshops.

Out from Dark Horse is the latest Witchfinder Trade Paperback. Volume 3 Mysteries Of Unland, a Hellboy spin-off written by Kim Newman and Maura McHugh, with art by Tyler Crook. Talking to Bleeding Cool this week, Kim says his touchstone for writing Sir Edward “was that he’d been through the events of the earlier miniseries and was on his way to his established death and post-mortem activities, and we needed to see him changing from the person he was into the person he will be.”

“Sir Edward discovered supernatural creatures existed when he was young,” explains Maura McHugh, “and spent his life protecting people from the more malign effects of those entities. He became an occult detective, and at our point in Sir Edward’s career he is a special agent for the crown (Queen Victoria).” It looks terrific in terms of both story and art.

In the interview, Maura reveals she has a short comic book tale coming out in a forthcoming anthology soon as well as some more short stories and essays – plus several other projects in development. Kim, meanwhile, has finished the a draft of a novel, Secrets of Drearcliff Grange School, for Titan Books.  “I’m already pondering two more,” he says. “Angels of Music (which is loosely a riff on The Phantom of the Opera and Charlie’s Angels) and an as-yet-untitled Anno Draculanovel set in Japan.”

Don’t forget that despite many British publishers lack of faith in full-blown cover to cover comic strip action and humour, there are still comics on sale in newsagents that still delight in bringing you such subversive delights, including The Beano, Commando, Judge Dredd Megazine, Panini’s superhero titles and VIZ, with great strips also featuring in titles such as Doctor Who MagazineDoctor Who Adventures, Titan’s Doctor Who Comic (collecting their strips from the US format titles) Mega, TOXIC and many others.

The Hachette Judge Dredd Collection is also on sale now, but you may now have to subscribe if you want to continue buying it as Part Works are not distributed in newsagents after their first few issues.

Plus, the wonderful Phoenix Comic is on sale in all Waitrose supermarkets as well as available on subscription and through its dedicated iPad app.

In this first volume, the charming little witch is working as a nanny in a castle in Transylvania.

The Thrilling Adventures Of Lovelace & Babbage Hard Cover Graphic Novel (Pantheon)
Writer, Artist and Cover Artist: Sydney Padua

A unique take on the unrealised invention of the computer in the 1830s by the eccentric polymath Charles Babbage and his accomplice, the daughter of Lord Byron, Ada, Countess of Lovelace. When Ada translated Babbage’s plans for the “Difference Engine,” her footnotes contained the first appearance of the general computing theory, 100 years before an actual computer was built. Sydney Padua gives us an alternate reality in which Lovelace and Babbage build the Difference Engine, and then use it to do battle with the American banking system, the publishing industry, their own fears that their project will lose funding, and a villainous street musician who will force the two friends to reevaluate their priorities-“for the sake of both London and science.”
