The Friday Review: Little Nemo
By Zack Smith
One of the avowed true classics of comics literature, Winsor McCay's LITTLE NEMO was a wildly innovative newspaper strip whose influence can still be felt today. Ninth Art dons the pyjamas for some wonderful dreams.

The Friday Review: Astro City: Life in the Big City
By John Connors
Kurt Busiek's ASTRO CITY is a striking work of civic planning - a universe of characters created afresh, but made to feel retro and familiar. Ninth Art hopped on the commuter shuttle to revisit the old metropolis.

The Friday Review: The Bogie Man
By Nick Brownlow
When 2000AD legends John Wagner and Alan Grant decided to turn their talents to crime noir, they took a typically unconventional approach. It's madness and mystery in the streets of Glasgow with THE BOGIE MAN.

The Friday Review: Kingdom Of The Wicked
By Alasdair Stuart
A children's author returns to the fantasy land of his youth to find it torn apart by a terrible war in Ian Edginton and D'Israeli's richly-told tale of conflict and growth.

The Friday Review: Hectic Planet Book One: Dim Future
By Steve Parker
It's a dim future in 2074, as Evan Dorkin's crew of misfit smugglers hop from one hectic planet to another, dodging crazed politicians, psychotic mercenaries and rioting skinheads along the way.

The Friday Review: Volcanic Revolver
By John Fellows
VOLCANIC REVOLVER is Scott Morse's elegant tale of Old World customs, superstitions and feuds imposing themselves on 1930s New York. In anticipation of Morse's movie adaptation, Ninth Art went back to the source.

The Friday Review: Tantrum
By Zack Smith
Jules Feiffer has won both an Oscar and a Pulitzer, but for a true measure of the man's talents, one need look no further than his widescreen fable TANTRUM, about a grown man who wills himself back to infancy.

The Friday Review: Tom Strong Book One
By John Connors
With Tom Strong, Alan Moore has created the archetypal adventurer. Part homage, part pastiche - but is there anything beneath the pulp?

The Friday Review: Torso
By Lawrence Rider
Eliot Ness versus America's first serial killer. It sounds like a great concept for a movie, but so far, the best version of the story can be found in a comic, courtesy of Brian Michael Bendis and Marc Andreyko.

The Friday Review: Lazarus Churchyard: The Final Cut
By Nick Brownlow
LAZARUS CHURCHYARD is Warren Ellis and D'Israeli's story of an artificially immortal man. It was an early work for both of them, and outlived the magazine that launched it, yet after all these years, is it showing any signs of age?
