At the Tockburger circus, Teddy, a child of the ball, meets donkey Pom and horsewoman Maggy. Together, they leave the circus and embark on countless adventures and investigations – often with the help of the colossal Tarrass Boulba, their protector. 70 years after its first appearance in the pages of Journal Tintin, Le Lombard gives François Craenhals’ series an edition it deserves.

Je suis au-delà de la mort
The story of a friendship formed in a hospital, a bond between two men who might otherwise never have met: Jean, a young rocker whose dreams of success have been dashed by illness, and the strange and secretive Franck, a 60-something Sinatra fan (like his father before him), who never takes his hat off, believing it once belonged to the late great singer.
After an initial shouting match, Franck and Jean become friends and allies in their joint battle against illness, and their friendship enables them to reveal their aborted dreams and fears, as well as their hopes, with both candor and humor as their worlds collapse.
A tale through which a precious memory of Norway is relived in honor of a beloved friend. The story also explores the suffering caused by incurable illness and the resilience that comes with every loss, in an attempt to preserve the feeling of being “alive”!
Le Mystère du col Dyatlov
The Dyatlov Pass Mystery is the true story of one of the few remaining unsolved mysteries of the last century. In 1959, a group of experienced mountaineers set out to climb a Russian mountain. None of them came back alive. What’s even worse, they all died in strange and terrible circumstances: some are naked, others not. Some are beaten, others not. Some are missing their eyes and tongues, others not. Some have traces of uranium on them, others not… What happened that night?
Lev Ivanov, one of the best investigators in the Soviet Union, is sent to the mountains to lead the investigation. A sort of KGB-trained Sherlock Holmes, Ivanov works through each and every theory as to what happened. An avalanche? Impossible, the weather was good that night and there wasn’t much snow. A bear attack? Secret nuclear tests?
We follow the investigator as he slowly tries to make sense of what happened on that fateful night (everything is true, the story is based on his notebooks). But also, interspersed in flashbacks, we get to see what really happened, because the mystery was finally solved in 2020.

Webster & Jones
The Amazon rainforest, 1956. An American reconnaissance plane disappears into the impenetrable forest, but not before its crew has transmitted worrying reports of rockets being launched into space and sightings of flying saucers. The US Government immediately sends a team of investigators that includes Captain Wallace Webster and a Washington aide by the name of Betty Jones.
Fighting their way through the dense jungle, the team makes an astonishing discovery: an abandoned base that has obviously been used as a launchpad for space rockets but has equally obviously been destroyed by an enemy offensive. Narrowly escaping an attack by a giant robot adorned with swastikas, they realize that, having failed to conquer the world, the Nazis are trying to conquer space.

With the help of the Avarants, an advanced extra-terrestrial civilization, and the galactic coalition, Kim and Manon undertake a mission to observe and report on the situation, without attracting any attention. They are supposed to meet with Narene Ever, leader of the progressive opposition party and possibly their only hope of finding a solution. But Narene’s life is in danger, and they must protect her…
