Prisonniers
Outside a wooden fortress built around the wreckage of a commercial jetliner, Frank, Frank, and Kenza wait in the snow, wondering how to save their friends imprisoned in the cargo hold. The mystery of how an airplane came to crash-land in prehistoric times is intimately intertwined with the mystery of Kenza’s past. Will Frank (the kid) and Kenza succeed in rescuing Justine, Gerard, and the gang? Will Frank (the short guy) bring the wrath of the cannibals down upon them? What does all this have to do with an army of snowmen and a flock of quasi-domesticated dinosaurs? Find out in FRNK vol. 7!
Jamais seuls
On his first day of class at a new school, Leo, a boy who talks to the ghosts of famous dead people for fun, meets Hamlin, who can talk to animals, and Farah, a human flamethrower. The new friends band together to track down the thief who has made off with the school’s prized trophy, and must use all their powers to fight off an army of gigantic robots intent on destroying them.

La Bête
Belgium, 1955. A mysterious animal is caught in the jungles of South America and transported to Europe on a cargo ship, where it ends up starving and half-dead on the outskirts of Brussels. François, a young boy with a fondness for taking in strays, finds it and brings it home to his mother and his menagerie—his best and only friends. As the son of a departed German soldier, François is the favorite target of every bully in school. Nobody can identify the strange creature with the voracious appetite and the stupendously long tail, and François figures his new pet is perfect for show-and-tell… But with a wild beast and a small classroom, things quickly get out of hand. Will this spell the end for François’s new animal friend? The real story of the legendary Marsupilami!
Madame Minuscule
Inhumain
A small exploratory vessel crashes onto an unknown ocean planet after its crew is seized by a sudden madness. After escaping their sinking ship, the five survivors are helped to the surface by giant squid-like creatures who guide them to what appears to be the planet’s only island. To their surprise, they are greeted on the shore by primitive humans, who prove to be welcoming despite their cannibalistic rituals. But their fixed smiles and total docility suggest that something more sinister is going on. Are the castaways doomed to join them in submitting to the will of the mysterious Great One?
Omen
Harmony and her friends have been taken to a peaceful and secure location, away from the medical experiments and grueling training sessions forced on them by their former captors. But Harmony can’t help feeling her new “guardians” are keeping something from them, and when young Eden starts having terrible nightmares, she unwittingly sets off a chain of events that prove that Harmony wasn’t entirely wrong to be mistrustful.
Night Hawk
It is the early 1920s. The Volstead Act has recently prohibited the sale and consumption of alcohol, which means that an active black market has sprung up—a market controlled by legendary gangsters such as Al Capone. Supplies must be secretly shipped from France to its outpost in Saint-Pierre, Newfoundland. This dangerous and illegal trade involves aviators flying primitive sea planes—aviators such as Bessie the “Black Angel,” whose mixed heritage also makes her the target of the flourishing Ku Klux Klan. Based on the historical figure of Bessie Coleman, she flies in the face of injustice, prejudice, and discrimination.
