1950s New York: After Navit loses her partner and lover, she finds herself at the head of “Gentlemind,” a small men’s magazine for which she has big plans. But the accomplished businesswoman isn’t able to forget a young artist named Arch, as penniless as she was when they shared a studio in Brooklyn. She promises herself that she’ll find him, whatever it takes. Juan Diaz Canales and Teresa Valero recount 30 years in the life of a remarkable woman, from her Bohemian youth to her sudden success, and her decades-long search for her first love. A moving and tragic tale beautifully brought to life by the pencil and watercolors of Italian artist Antonio Lapone.
Eating with Jesus and the Apostles, eating at the Woodstock festival, on the cotton plantations in Scarlett O’Hara’s time, or with the Aztecs in Mexico when the Conquistadors arrived… the whole of the world’s history unfolds on our plates, in an album that’s as funny as it is erudite.
Through the prism of gastronomy, we gain an extraordinary perspective on the destiny of our ancestors, their thoughts, their passions… From the most tragic periods to the most glorious centuries, what’s on everyone’s table tells the story of humanity’s adventure better than anyone else.
We’re in Paris in the 1920s. Emilie, a young woman working as a dancer at the Moulin Rouge, receives an enigmatic letter from a solicitor. She learns with great surprise that she has inherited a castle in the Connemara in Ireland from a mysterious great uncle! But what lurks behind this ‘gift’ that’s come out of the blue? Emilie begins a fabulous journey through time, in Celtic lands that are said to be sacred.
1993, the theatrical release of “Jurassic Park” and total trauma for 13-year-old Marion Montaigne. Her fascination with these terrible reptiles from a forgotten age gave rise to an obsession with fossils, science in general and anatomical drawing… as well as a few existential anxieties. So to exorcise her demons, there’s nothing like the Montaigne method: in-depth research in books and museums, a wicked sense of humor and some hard-hitting questions. A dive into paleontology, the history of science and, ultimately, the history of history.
As tensions between Khurania and Russia continue to escalate, Tanguy and Laverdure find themselves caught up in a geostrategic conundrum involving a revolutionary aircraft. The two pilots do everything in their power to prevent the situation from escalating into conflict. But a corrupt Khuranian industrialist, the CIA and the Russian army are major adversaries… Pressure worthy of a hydraulic jack in the continuation and conclusion of this diptych, which echoes the terrible news of the war in Ukraine, still with scriptwriters Patrice Buendia and Frédéric Zumbiehl, and illustrator Sébastien Philippe.
The third omnibus in the series by the brilliant F’murrr, who died in 2018, this edition collects volumes 7, 8 and 9, featuring the craziest flock of sheep in history, its shepherd and his dog.

A sequel to Juanjo Guarnido and Juan Diaz Canales’ masterfully crafted diptych!
Not only was it the worst marathon in Olympic history, but you would be hard-pressed to find another event that was as scandalously bad as the 1904 marathon. This is no slight on (most of) the men who competed, because it would seem as if the race were bad by design: the organizer of the Games, James E. Sullivan, wasn’t looking for the glory of competition and sportsmanship at his games, but rather evidence of white supremacy. Deprived of water, running under a blazing sun on dusty, hilly roads: it’s a miracle that fourteen of the initial thirty-two competitors even completed the event. The story of this race and the athletes who took part is ludicrous, unedifying, and a terribly good time.
