Tomahawk is another french artist who created a cards series inspired by Les Crados. And he did it on scratchboards ! He achieved a first 80 cards set called "Los Trashos". Here come some exemples (not the most "trash" of the series) :    This one is really funny (translation attempt : "Axel Erate")...  You can see all the cards on the blog of the artist : lostrashos.blogspot.fr/2012_04_01_archive.htmlThis series has been published by Le Dernier Cri (a french underground publisher) and a set can be purchased here : tomahawk.bigcartel.com/product/los-trashos |

Stéphane Blanquet is an underground french cartoonist. In this interview ( link), he says Les Crados had a big influence on his art. Blanquet also publishes underground comix with his publishing house, United Dead Artists. He published 6 cards sets which are some kind of Crados tribute. This series is called "Dead Panini Club" and each card is designed by a different artist. Somes exemples : Series 1  Series 2  Series 3  Series 4  Series 5     The 6 sets can be purchased here : www.blanquet.com/marchandises/index.php#contenu |

Yeah !  John Carpenter is one of my favorite movie directors and "They live" is an awesome movie ! ***spoiler*** I always loved the end of this movie : the main character, fatally wounded, lies on the floor (he just destroyed the extraterrestrial base) and raises a last middle finger to laugh at the ETs before he dies... |

Another one : pipolos.over-blog.com/On this blog, a guy posted some photomontages based on Les Crados. Most of them refer to french stars. The pictures and the "plays on words" are sometimes cheesy but I have to admitt some of them made me laugh...     |

I already posted this in another thread ( link) : Bérurier Noir is the headlining band of the french punk scene in the 80's. They released a live LP in 1990 untitled "Viva Bertaga". The front cover of this album features several Crados-like cards representing the band members :  A better pic of these Crados-like cards :  The vinyl was reissued in 2012 and can be purchased via eBay.fr... |

Thanks for the constant updates pepe. I love the incognitos My pleasure. "Los Incognitos" series is pretty cool. I love scratchboard art... If you like scratchboard and comics, you should read that :  Thomas Ott is an artist from Switzerland. His silent stories are drawn on scratchboards. His art is real dope. |

R.I.P. :
This book is really cool too :
As these are silent stories, you can purchase the french or the american edition.
The french books are beautiful items (hardcover...) but more expensive.

pepé, do you collect the dead panini club? I am wondering what it is like... I do own a pack of each set. The cards are not stickers, this is printed on cardstock and the cards backs look like usual playing cards backs. Their size is just a little smaller than the GPK cards. Each card is designed by an underground artist/cartoonist/illustrator. Let me know if you have any other question ! |

The Aix-en-Provence comics convention is currently curating an exhibition dedicated to a french artist, Frédéric Voisin. His last work is a tribute to Basil Wolverton, Ugly Monsters and Panini.    To celebrate the exhibition, the artist is organising some kind of quest in the city : an album is provided and the convention fans have to find out all the cards distributed by the city's stores (for free)... Here comes the Comics Convention instructions : "Track the ET's all over the city and collect the cards which look like Paninis and Crados cards..."   You can purchase silkscreens via the artist's store : www.frederic-voisin-apocalypse.net/vente-doeuvres.html |
