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.

But is venturing into a building that was bombed during the Great War, used as a detention camp during the Second World War or as a women’s prison in the 20th century really a good idea? In the dark tunnels, the incredible encounters awaiting the teenager will not be without danger…
In the kingdom of Terrelande, young prince Reginald-Edouard finds it increasingly difficult to cope with court protocol… He would like to see the world, to play with other children, and above all not to be alone.

Paillasson is a little hedgie. Having had a good night’s sleep and still only half awake, he finds himself in an embarrassing position: he is hungry but doesn’t know what to eat. A snail suggests he go looking for an “earthworn,” but what on earth could that be? Fortunately, Paillasson soon meets a strange creature—long and thin with its legs all worn away—who is happy to help him find what he is looking for. After all, thinks Paillasson, this creature seems pretty “earthworn” itself…
Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” was one of the best-selling albums in rock history. With her raspy voice, her wild hair, and her trademark wisp of eyeliner, she quickly became of the biggest pop icons of her century. And yet, in 2011, after bouts of depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, and bulimia, she joined the famously tragic “27 Club.”
This docu-comic—a combination of biography and graphic novel—retraces the key moments in Winehouse’s short life.
