Justicier malgré lui

Life among the cavefolk isn’t easy. Everything they do is gross, from eating raw meat to skipping showers. Thirteen year-old Frank, lost in their strange world and cut off easy pizza and other modern conveniences, tries to invent fire, but his good intentions might just blow up in his face. For one, smoke inhalation can be deadly. Who’d have thunk proper ventilation was so vital to cave living? Then there’s that rival clan, plotting to develop a firearm… Throw in a tribe of bloodthirsty bunnies that kill with cuteness, and you’ve got another zany, zippy adventure in prehistoric times.

Today, Philippe is celebrating his birthday. 53-years-old already. He has a nice
house, grown-up children, a gregarious mother and a fantastic new bicycle. It’s
a nice, simple, honest life. But Philippe’s boss throws a spanner in the works
when he informs him that he’s making Philippe redundant. Philippe, a collateral
victim of globalization, goes under and loses everything, even the roof over
his head. But this plunge into the core of himself enables him to see others in
a new way. Honest people are anything but commonplace.

Maggy’s got a new man, a new case to solve… and a nice little jackpot of 15,000 pounds. Problem is, the means by which she got said jackpot were perhaps not entirely above board. So, in spite of this sudden change in the wind, Maggy has to act just like nothing ever happened. Most of all, so as not to raise any suspicions in Sheena. Bent cop though she may be, she’s still a cop, all the same… 

Madrid, winter of 1956. Franco’s fascist dictatorship controls the press and maintains the fiction of an idyllic nation. Faced with the Regime’s attempts to cover up the country’s most sordid crimes, two journalists from the crime beat, the jaded veteran Emilio Sanz and the young and intrepid Léon Lenoir, seek to reveal the truth. Confronted by a wave of unexplained murders, the duo sets out to uncover the dark secret connecting them, buried in a cruel past. Brilliantly written and illustrated by Teresa Valero, Sanz and Lenoir’s investigation plunges us headfirst into an era and society as dark and as violent as it is full of hope. A bracing journalistic thriller revealing the lengths the Francoist regime was willing to go to in its attempts to stifle any form of dissent.

In a post-apocalyptic New York City obliterated by a Big Night that wiped out most of civilization, bands of children struggle to stay alive in the wreckage, hunting for food under billowing clouds of toxic fog and running from hungry zombies.

Meanwhile, a raving old man with a house full of books says the worst is yet to come…

Ludwig has never been a soldier. A childhood injury left him lame in one leg, which has allowed him to largely sit out the war on the sidelines, as a translator. Fleeing his passionless marriage, he accepts an assignment in Japan, allowing him to return to the land of his youth. But the year is 1945. It is not a good time to be Japanese, or German… much less stationed in Hiroshima. Ludwig is tempted by love and, in furtively tampering with his translations of classified documents, by the chance to do something heroic. But none of that will save him…
