Pastorius Grant

Pastorius Grant is an old bounty-hunter—merciless, jaded, and dying. He knows he hasn’t got long to live but, partly out of habit and partly because it is the only thing he knows, he keeps doing what he has always done: tracking down criminals of every shape and size. It isn’t a nice job, but that has never really bothered him; Pastorius isn’t a nice guy. But when he tries to catch Big Hand, a wily outlaw who has taken refuge on an Indian reserve, he runs into a blind girl, with a pig for a companion. She tells him that her father has been murdered and that, on his deathbed, he instructed her to find the bounty-hunter and avenge his death…

Joann Sfar revisits one of his first loves—fantasy—to tell the funny and terrifying story of a reckless teenager all alone in a world full of monsters

She’s the beloved young daughter of her parents, educated and progressive monarchs who have spent all their fortune on art and culture, and who are left defenseless when an army of blood-thirsty monsters attack their castle!

The young princess is awoken in the middle of the night by wildfire! Leaning over her bed is a lustful looking orc with a micro penis… Trained in martial arts, she’s able to escape from her room. As she’s getting away she runs into the palace’s magician, he gives her an exceptional gift from the back of his dusty old lab: ‘a bicycle.’ In the company of this rolling, ringing and illuminating thing, our heroine leaves the destroyed castle and hits the road… A road which will be just as dangerous for a young girl all by herself.

On June 13, 2006, 18-year-old Marion Larat saw her life turned upside down. Shortly before meeting up with her boyfriend and friends, she began reading a “Bidochon” album, then went to her bathroom. It was there, at around 8 p.m., that Marion collapsed on the floor.

Her father discovered her shortly afterwards and the fire department took her to hospital. The verdict was in: massive stroke. From then on, Marion’s journey became a struggle to regain her locomotion and the ability to speak.

A doctor establishes the cause as being the daily use of the pill, which can, in very rare cases, cause a stroke. So how can you rebuild your life when you have to admit you’re no longer able-bodied?

A powerful account told with humor (despite everything) and humanism by Christian Binet.

In 1970, teenagers Rudi and Sol gave up everything to sail around the world on a stolen yacht called “Mooi” (Dutch for “Beauty”). Now they have two children, Tao (14) and Ximi (8), who have grown up in a world of adventure, freedom, and self-reliance.

But this carefree, bohemian lifestyle conceals an oppressive past, which continually drives Rudi and Sol toward new horizons—to the profound despair of Ximi, who dreams of going to school. Yet how can they stop, when life on terra firma seems to harbor such insurmountable difficulties?

This is the first part a story based on Julie Ricossé’s own experiences. Personal, poetic, and painted in bright colors, “A Life at Sea” makes the perfect bridge between childhood and adulthood.

Lucien is a henchman—a henchman that has always done his job cleanly and correctly. Until now. Because this is the moment he must face the music… and adopt the identity of a young priest appointed to a remote country parish. But Lucien is amazingly adaptable. As he himself puts it, “Religion is a business that’s all about death, which is something I know a bit about.” He quickly sizes up the situation. To survive he will need cash—and he thinks he has ways of finding that…

In March 2023, Hunter aficionado Morgan Navarro, who had been influenced in many ways by the great man’s writing and thinking, went to America with his assistant, reporter and off-the-wall radio producer Jack Souvant—”a crazy guy who’s capable of anything”—following Hunter’s trail from Kentucky to the fashionable resort of Aspen with the aim of meeting people who had been close to him (including his widow Anita, Bill Murray, Ralph Steadman, Gilliam, and Depp) and painting a picture of modern America, with all its hang-ups, angst, madness and laughter.

As Thompson’s close friend Ron Whitehead would tell Navarro: “Your book is not a journey to the heart of a nightmare, like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas; it’s a journey from the heart to the heart.”

In the previous volume, we learned of the extraordinary origins of the man still known as Krelldinard, and why the fearsome warlord of the Black Moon was the only one able to impose his law on the Orcs. In this album, we follow his initiation to black magic, or how Haazheel Thorn will make him his absolute champion… until he meets Wismerhill. This second opus closes the diptych devoted to one of the most enigmatic characters in the series.
