Holy shit, I didn't know his comics got translated into English. This is one of the best ones, but Kobane Calling remains at the top for me.

they got his entire collection translated, even the recent one from last year, the only ones no one has translated are the side-stuff like A Babbo Morto and Enciclopedia Calcarea for some reason. I liked Kobane a lot, and Shengal even more. My personal favorite is Skeletons though

He's one of the few cases of indie artists that I'm genuinely glad went big, because he fully deserves the reach and recognition he's getting. The only sad thing is that a lot of his humor and slang probably gets lost in translation.

Shit, I just realized I don't think I've read No Sleep Till Shengal yet... Thanks for the reminder, I'll go grab a copy!
