Ramdam Blues
Karmela Krimm was the most promising young detective on the Marseille police force until she volunteered to take the fall for an operation that went sideways. When Karmela lost her job and became a private investigator, her ideals went up in smoke along with her badge. Perhaps for the better: in the troubled waters she now navigates, ideals are a dangerous luxury.
60 Aventures de Modeste et Pompom
«Modeste a bien des traits de Fantasio. C’est un vantard sympa, une bonne poire. Il est inventif, serviable, maladroit, colérique, non dénué d’humour. Pompon est une chic fille, un peu naïve, un peu fleur bleue, mais qui ne manque pas de caractère. Sont-ils amis ou fiancés ? Je n’en sais rien.», ainsi Franquin présentait-il ces précurseurs de son illustre Gaston Lagaffe. Habitant dans des décors typiques des fifties, le «couple» vivra paisiblement jusqu’à l’irruption de Félix, cousin gaffeur et vendeur casse-pieds de produits ringards. Il sera aussi confronté aux irascibles voisins Dubruit et Ducrin, à des neveux turbulents et à Jules, le coq du truculent oncle Symphorien.
De 1955 à 1959, alors en rupture de «Spirou», André Franquin gratifiera chaque semaine le journal «Tintin» des amusants déboires domestiques de Modeste et Pompon.
Aux scénarios, s’illustreront Greg (inventeur de Félix et Ducrin), Goscinny (inventeur de Dubruit) et Peyo. Chacune des planches est un chef-d’œuvre d’observation, d’humour et de concision graphique qui fait partie intégrante de l’histoire du Lombard.

Sacrifice (Le)
Eline et Sam sont enfin arrivés au terme de leur périple !

La Forêt
Forests were home to our most distant ancestors. They show us our history and link us to our past. When we enter a forest, we step back in time and rediscover life on Earth as it once was. Thanks to recent scientific discoveries, we now know that the animal world and the plant world are more alike than we thought, and that, in their own way, trees can sense, feel, and communicate. It is up to us to ensure that forests are sustainably managed, and that all the plants and animals that live in them and make up their ecosystem are protected for future generations.
