So Atari, Tika and their friends have only two solutions: drown or try their luck by gaining access to the highly protected ‘Cumulus’, which controls all the city’s access systems… But how does Tika know the way to the Cumulus? The truth will soon come out. And it will be terrible…

Sitting in the front room of her brothel, Madam Anne Bonny, once a pirate of the South Seas, looks back on her life… and the story of her adventures is
rather shocking!
An illegitimate child born in a remote Irish village, Anne escaped her dreary destiny by fleeing to the Caribbean, where she fought with pirates and met the love of her life, Jack Rackham.
Claire Richard plays with the clichés of the pirate genre in this feminist rewrite of a well-known story, whose humor lies in the disconnect between official history and modern reinterpretation.

Together, they leave the circus and embark on countless adventures and investigations – often with the help of the colossal Tarrass Boulba, their protector. 70 years after it first appeared in the pages of Journal Tintin, Le Lombard is giving François Craenhals’ series, a veritable jewel of the clear line, the setting it deserves.
Veloce, an anxious and reckless young velociraptor, is on a quest to find answers to the mocking mammals’ claims of the future extinction of his species. The small mammals mock Veloce and his fellow creatures, saying they are too big, too pathetic, too stupid to survive. For them, the dinosaurs are doomed to extinction, and all the better because they eat all the resources of the planet, destroy their habitats, and roam the earth aimlessly. Veloce tries to ignore it, but the predictions still worry him. His parents, too busy with other priorities, tell him that only the wise Troodon and the old Ankylosaurus have in the past already figured out the long journey our heroes will take.
Parents Emma and Malo don’t know what to do about their son Sacha. He is 8 and, like most other kids of his age, is a manga fan, his favorite character being Mitsuo. But, when they watch him closely, they notice that Sacha is not like other kids at all. He is in a different world, his own world—or rather the world of Mitsuo. For Sacha, reality is what he reads, and he lives his life through his hero.
Communicating with Sacha becomes increasingly difficult, until finally his teachers inform Emma and Malo that he can no longer attend school because he requires more attention than they can give him.
Faced with this crisis, Emma and Malo have different ideas as to what to do. When they are unable to agree on a course of action, Emma decides to run away with her son… and, like him, to take refuge in the world of Mitsuo.
François’s mother would like him to leave the Resistance. In fact, the struggle is intensifying. Everywhere, clandestine cells are attacking the workshops and men of the occupying forces. People are getting organised in anticipation of the Allied landings, which seem imminent… In response, the Nazis issue the Sperrle Decree, which ramps up repression in France, aided by the French Militia. François, Lisa and Eusèbe are now young adults… and if they get caught, they will be condemned as such. But now is not the time to give up!
