I recently discovered Frederik Peeter's work when I came across his graphic novel The Sandcastle. I was instantly hooked and trying to find some of his other works, I have stumbled here on Lupus. Lupus is a seemingly fun story about humans living and traveling through space, hopping from planet to planet for parties and drugs and wild adventures. As the story develops though, things get dark...and bizarre...and that is when the REAL story of Lupus starts to develop. The story is rich, and afterw...
A long buddy road trip comics tale for two twenty-something guys, Lupus and Tony, tooling around the universe on an old junker of a spaceship (think: Hans Solo with a wrench or Malcolm of Joss Whedon's Firefly). The possible love of a woman is involved, adventures ensue. The artwork is, as usual, the main reason to take a look at a Peeters comic. It took me a long time to get through this one; hey, it might have been my mood, but I lost interest in the "quest" and the odyssey angle, but I could
About a decade and a half ago, the Dutch publisher BEE DEE published the first volume of Peeter's Lupus. Shortly thereafter that publisher went bankrupt and no other company dared to take on the translation of the next three volumes. At times like these I regret not having paid more attention during my classes French at school. I had to wait until two weeks ago to finally be able to read the whole story of Lupus thanks to this complete edition by Top Shelf. Luckily it is a timeless tale set in s...
A couple of gadabouts bop around the galaxy in their spaceship looking for great fishing holes and lots of drugs. But when they take aboard a sexy young runaway girl, they find themselves targeted by thugs hired by her powerful father. Violence ensues, and then they are on the run through outer space, crossing paths with colorful characters during their search for a safe haven.This book is sort of an inversion of typical action movies that have slam-bang adventure broken up by brief interludes o...
Lupus, by Frederick Peters, is a fantastic science fiction graphic novel. It follows two men on a listless, drug fuelled fishing trip across multiple planets in a futuristic setting akin to Cowboy Beebop. The two men are sick of each other and strung out, until they meet a young girl looking to escape her past. Events take a turn, and soon they are on the run from the girls father, travelling to locations both exotic and mundane, across a very human galaxy. This novel was brilliant; interesting
boring tedious man shit
Imprescindible. El final un poco meh. El estilo muy original.Adoro la estilización de los personajes.
7.1Widzę w "Lupusie" kilka problemów, które nie pozwalają mi się cieszyć historią w pełni - skupiają się głównie w końcowej części tej opowieści (tom 3 i 4), gdzie występują dłużyzny, a całość staje się znacznie mniej ekscytująca wizualnie oraz tonalnie. Mówiąc to, jestem absolutnie kupiony tym, co Peeters zdołał przedstawić w dwóch początkowych tomach swojej opowieści: tytułowy bohater jest bardzo ludzki, złożony i interesujący; nakreślony świat, choć wizualnie pokazany dość wąsko, wydaje się b...
4.5Lupus is a truly haunting and unique graphic novel. It’s an epic sci fi adventure story turned romance at the end. I found the story so unique and the premise is well executed. Two friends sent off on a drug fuelled fishing trip across the galaxies but it quickly turns and becomes something even more interesting, if you can believe. The world building is so well done. The outdoor scenes as well as when they are trapped inside, the book has created a beautiful, sad world. Lupus is even surpris...
Two childhood friends take a road trip (fishing, seeing the solar system, connecting as friends again, and taking psychedelics/other drugs are purpose of this trip) through space traveling to different planets in the solar system. They meet some people along the way that add to the aspect of this journey. Many obstacles in this graphic novel with a touching aspect of the need to love another and connect with those around you. Quality read and excellent out of the box artwork. 👍🏾
Comme dans les précédentes œuvres de Frederik Peeters que j'ai lues, une histoire qui prend aux tripes. Les dessins sont très beaux, très organiques. Les visages paraissent parfois simples mais sont très précis dans les expressions, avec toujours cette interrogation sur le vieillissement (même le bébé a parfois les traits d'un vieillard), sur la naissance, la transmission de la paternité
