Tales of the Shadowmen

Citation :: The title and concept of Tales of the Shadowmen were inspired by science fiction writer Philip José Farmer's works centering around the Wold Newton family. The concept first emerged in Jean-Marc Lofficier's non-fiction works, French Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror & Pulp Fiction: A Guide To Cinema, Television, Radio, Animation, Comic Books And Literature From The Middle Ages To The Present (2000) and Shadowmen: Heroes And Villains Of French Pulp Fiction (2003), which reviewed characters from French popular literature, the latter blending bibliographical information and speculative fiction.

Citation :: Ca y est,je l'ai lu.
Formidable.

Ce que j'en pense:
Matthew Baugh: Le masque du monstre
Bonne histoire policière.
L'intrigue est rondement mené,les persos intéressants.
Le mélange est bien ficelé.

Jean-Marc Lofficier: Le Tarot de Fantômas
Une histoire macabre digne des romans de Allain et Souvestre(oui,j'en ai lu).

Terrance Dicks: Quand Lemmy rencontre Jules
Intéressant,ces deux caractères fort différents.

Jean-Marc Lofficier: Les petits de Figaro
lol

Kim Newman: Les Anges de la Musique
Le Fantome de l'Opéra devient une sorte d'espion-justicier?
Pourquoi pas?

Jean-Marc Lofficier: Le Noël d'Arsène Lupin
Interéssant.

John Peel: Le tortionnaire au grand coeur
Un de mes préférés.
J'adore Monte-Cristo.

Jean-Marc Lofficier: Le Prince des Étoiles
M'a bien plut.

Chris Roberson: Pénombre
Mon Otre préféré.
J'adore Judex,le Shadow et Batman.
Irma Vep ne tue-t'elle réellement que des salauds,comme elle le prétend,ou est-ce une invention de l'auteur?

Jean-Marc Lofficier: Objets trouvés
Sympa.

Brad Mengel: En amour comme à la guerre...
Amusant...
Mais quitte à lire une aventure commune de James Bond et OSS 117,j'aurais préféré une aventure en collaboration.

J'aime bien le blog de l'auteur.

Jean-Marc Lofficier: Arsène Lupin arrive trop tard
Bon polar.

Xavier Mauméjean: Bonjour chez vous!
Etrange.

Jean-Marc Lofficier: La plus douloureuse des blessures
Bien trouvé.

Jean-Marc Lofficier: On n'échappe pas au coup de foudre
Idem.
Indispensable.
Deux individus pareils ne devraient pas etre ennemis.
(Surtout s'ils font partis des PULPs).

Sylvie Miller & Philippe Ward: Les ferrets invisibles
Cool.

Jean-Marc Lofficier: Marguerite
Le Nyctalope,un collabo???
Heureusement,il y a Findus...Non,je veux dire heureusement,il se rachète.

Win Scott Eckert: L'Oeil d'Oran
Bon,très bon.

Bill Cunningham: Traumatisme
Interessant.

Jean-Marc Lofficier: Le meurtre de Randolph Carter
Amusant.

Robert Sheckley: L'horloge Paris-Ganymède
Mouais.
Bien,mais pas mon préféré.
Mais en le relisant,je l'apprécierais peut-etre mieux...
Edit:oui,en le relisant,je l'ai plus apprécié.

Serge Lehman: Les melons de Trafalmadore
Drole.

Je vous recommande ce livre qui est TRES interessant.
