Following the success of “Giselle and Beatrice,” Benoît Feroumont creates another modern fable… on the subject of virility!
La Baie des cochons
Fidel Castro is completely furious! All around him, people are gossiping and plotting to eliminate him from the political game. Even his own men, infiltrated by the CIA, offer him booby-trapped cigars! Traveling to New York for a historic speech at the UN, the Cuban leader is on his guard, totally paranoid. Quite the opposite of Spirou, who has come as a simple reporter to cover the event. But our bellboy doesn’t yet know that he’s about to be accused of attacking Castro, and forcibly taken to Cuba! His only hope is Fantasio, who immediately flies off to South America, and Seccotine, already in Cuba for a report. Unless Seccotine falls for the communist ideals of the charismatic Che Guevara…
When Spirou’s adventures crossover with the adventures of history, the result is an explosive album: Bay of Pigs!
Les Rivages de Midaluss
Confederate space. Year 2779. Kristina, a young human stowaway forced to work for the galactic smugglers who brought her here illegally, must learn to survive on an unfamiliar planet. And to find her place.
Planet Drenn. Midaluss, a huge seaside city where wealthy neighborhoods and alien shantytowns coexist, not without difficulties. Violence can erupt at any moment, without warning. This is where Kristina and her new traveling companion, Zachary, have decided to embark on a career of stealing luxury vehicles.
But while they face fierce competition from other gangs, the events of Kessmo, linked to the Clan of the Peaks, will soon catch up with them. And blood, both alien and human, is likely to flow once again.
Prospero
Prospero, the fickle cousin of the new King Christian, is called back to Court to keep an eye on the plotters who are gradually turning Palantia into a tyranny… Meanwhile, the baby believed to be Christian’s daughter, kidnapped by her late captain of the guard, is hiding in the Swamp, protected by the mysterious adventuress Sombra. But will she be able to survive for long in this lawless zone, where fearsome monsters and criminals driven out of Palantia live side by side?
Rédemption
Indycar Grand Prix, Florida. Elsa Tainmont, Team Vaillante’s Canadian driver replaces Michel, who has given up racing to accompany Françoise who is suffering from cancer. But the “Senator Warson” affair changes everything… Steve will be back behind the wheel of a Vaillante for the famous 500 miles! It’s a ploy by the FBI to force the killer stalking him to come out of the shadows, especially as Michel and Elsa will also be taking part in the race. Warson doesn’t know it, but a terrible revelation awaits him… An already historic Michel Vaillant!
Les jeux Olympiques
The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are just around the corner! So it’s time to brush up on your culture with Ariane and Nino, who reveal all about the incredible history of the Olympic Games!
No matter how hard Nino tries to tell them it’s just a game, his pals argue over a game of soccer! But Nina points out that sport, more than a game, has always been about issues, often political. To convince him of this, she takes her little brother to discover the history of the Olympic Games, from their creation by the god Heracles in Antiquity. Because there’s a lot to learn!
L’aigle des Highlands
Strange things are happening in the remains of Loch Castle Abbey: monks are searching the ruins for traces of a she-devil and her satanic animal. But the monks are surprised by Emilia and come to Yoko to explain. They say that the she-devil in question, a blind teenager who could see through the eyes of a mechanical eagle, has disappeared in a spiral of light!
Le temps suspendu
Ziad and Louna have both managed to get themselves invited to the Golden Powers, the superhero awards ceremony. But the ceremony doesn’t go quite as planned: a teleportation pod appears on stage and giant eyes shoot out of it into the crowd. It’s carnage among the superheroes present.
Ziad and Louna manage to escape through the pod and find themselves in the middle of the ocean. But Louna drowns…
Fatiah and Amine, Ziad and Louna’s parents, who watched the televised chaos and horror helplessly, are questioned by the police, who suspect their two children of being “supers”! Amine and Fatiah decide to take matters into their own hands and interfere with the police investigation, much to the annoyance of the female inspector in charge.
Bouhland
Rowdy, outgoing, and occasionally a little mental, Storm, who looks normal on the outside, still has no idea why he’s been shipped off by his mom to Boohland, the famous school for monsters. Supposedly it’s so he can learn to channel his energy. But the problem is that Storm doesn’t have any powers to channel… at least not yet! Between magic, annoying classmates, and terrifying forms of punishment, he’s going to have to hustle to keep up, and even stay alive… Your basic (sort of) day-to-day life of a kid in middle school!
Amotken
One night, everyone is awakened by a fire in a traveling fair on the edge of the village. The next morning, a young man’s skeleton is discovered in the ashes of his caravan. Sent to lead the inquiry into his death is Nathan Bertillon, recently promoted to Lieutenant—a frail and dreamy young man who is the target of more or less blatant ridicule among his colleagues at the police station.
Was the fire an accident? Bertillon is not convinced. But to get to the truth, he must display both perseverance and courage; and, as he delves into the dark history of the fair, he begins to uncover the painful secrets of those who live on the margins of society. Secrets that threaten to rouse the ancient beast that has always ruled their world—a creature whose name can only be whispered: Amotken.
