Bloeddorst has been nominated for the ‘Stripschaps-penning’ (a shiny badge-in-a-box, the ‘Oscar’ for Dutch comics) as ‘Best Album 2007′ in the category ‘Dutch Adventure and Entertainment’! Stripschap writes in it’s statement about Bloeddorst being: ‘a collection of artists with a happy surprise on each and every page. A welcoming initiative in a country where more comic-magazines dissapear rather than being given birth‘.
Heavy-weights Hanco Kolk & Peter de Wit eventually won the prize in this tough category where fan-favourite Daan Jippes was nominated too.
World’s oldest comic-information magazine Stripschrift reviews Bloeddorst as ‘it can be seen as a succesful project‘. Sounds like Dutch thriftiness, but the book gets 4 stars out of 5, which we interpreted as succesful indeed. Read the review here.
‘A pattern-card showing the talent enriching the Dutch comic-scene‘. Robin Schouten reviews Bloeddorst in Myx magazine. We love him too.
Filmkrant heads with ‘Invasion‘ after spotting artist Jeroen Funke stumbling to the signing-session at the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival. Now we know what took him so long. ‘He has looked better‘ commented his girlfriend.
The Telegraaf finally reads Bloeddorst. Almost. The short article is a sum up of who’s in the book and the header comes from the cover. We appreciate it nonetheless and hope the copie goes to a nephew who does like horror.
Bloeddorst is presented at the AFFF. Lots of full breed artists from our stable will be signing books or body parts, make bloody portraits and supply after-care to the shocked public. Jeroen Funke appeared as a zombie, which we didn’t notice until a fan pointed it out (I guess he works too hard). Check out the photo’s here.
AFFF now goes by the sissy name ImagineFF, even the posters back then were cooler.
“In Bloeddorst, almost every artist shows it’s very best. The contributions can be seen as the ultimate bussines-card from a whole new generation.‘ Says Olivier Wortel over at 8Weekly. We say ‘Hello‘.
Vpro, a local artistic authority, reserves a whole spread to enjoy Bloeddorst, but hopes to see more long serious stories the next time. We agree, but have the excuse that one of the main-purposes of the project was to show as many artists as possible. It resulted in mainly short stories, but we promise to straighten this out in the magazine. We want to be loved by everybody, we are that cheap and pulp, but won’t safe on blood and violence

Nieuwe Revu classifies Bloeddorst as ‘one of the five things you NEED to buy, watch or check‘. And it’s not even dull-season.
Volkskrant did a review. The header can be translated as ‘Bloodthirsty comics too good to be scary‘. Journalist Joost Pollmann thinks he can handle more than we can. Next time we will find his demons!
