Cannibales
Baby Gargoyle and the eccentric Leonard have gone missing. Frank braved the lava to save them, but when the volcano went ka-blam, he couldn’t make it through. The aftermath of the eruption finds Frank and his ragtag band of prehistoric refugees floating on a log down a river toward unknown lands and new adventures: an attack from an underwater beast, capture by cannibals, and wildest of all… a visit from Frank’s grown-up self! Scarred, missing fingers, and just as absent-minded, will future Frank be able to save our young hero from making the same mistakes? Dive in as a rollicking new arc begins!
“Volume 5 of FRNK has nearly everything you loved from the original series, plus lots of foreshadowing of stuff to look forward to. Bocquet’s story is just as sharp and Cossu hasn’t missed a step. This is a book that still fires on all cylinders.” Pipeline Comics

En quête de vérité
The day before her seventeenth birthday, Lya’s life changed forever. Hit by a speeding car and left for dead, she lost the use of her legs as well as some of her faith in the world… Lya learned to live again with the support of her parents.

Her search for the truth takes her to a famous law firm… and down a dangerous path. With the help of her friend Antoine, she’ll stop at nothing to get to the bottom of it all…
“The mystery of Through Lya’s Eyes is well-formed and deeply personal for Lya, and gives the plot gravitas. This is a fun story that balances a complex and exciting mystery, and it is easy to fall into the story and finish the first volume before you know it. I loved this title, and I can’t wait to see where the second volume takes us. Highly recommended.” Geek Dad

Le dernier Atlas T1/3
Birds wasting away in a national park, refusing to migrate. Identical geometric markings on the wings of completely different insect species. A pillar of dust in the desert. A small-time hood travels to India’s shipbreaking yards in search of a giant nuclear-powered construction robot. A big-time crime boss makes a killing off the Algerian Revolution, in a world where it happened fifteen years later than in our own. “A good story,” insists reporter Françoise Halfort, visited abruptly by a post-menopausal pregnancy, “is one that draws unexpected connections between seemingly unconnected events.” Four star creators join talents on a vast canvas that takes in the entire French 20th century.

”It’s laugh out loud funny, hits you in the heart when you least expect it, then stops you dead in your tracks to stare at the art. The Campbells is a real winner. It’s everything I read BD for.” Pipeline Comics

La dernière bouchée de carotte
Life lessons dispensed by a rabbit who’s no dummy. Boni is a cute, sweet, innocent little rabbit living in a hostile world. His best friend Milo can hardly see and is kind of an idiot, forever hitting on Brigitte, a she-rabbit who openly despises him. His nemesis, Bruno, has only one means of expression: punching people in the face (especially Boni). His grandpa is a sadistic, contemptuous old grump. His babysitter, Ms. Popo, was awarded the prize for worst childcare practitioner in the world, a prize that required zero effort on her part to win.
Boni’s most admirable quality is his ability to retain his good humor and enthusiasm in a world where some huge disaster befalls him approximately every three panels – much to our amusement.
