Dali

Avant Gala (1)

By Julie Birmant & Clément Oubrerie

Publisher: Dargaud
Genres: Biography & Memoirs 

”I love Gala more than my mother, more than my father, more than Picasso, and even more than money.”

A three-volume series that follows Salvador Dalí’s life: from the young, derisive, unpredictable, neurotic genius to the mature artist who became the clown he had so often played, constantly changing his moral and political position, weakening like the wilting watches he painted, and sliding into self-indulgence.

The plot centers around Dali’s relationship with Gala, a russian girl and a former wife of Paul Eluard—a story about an intense passion that sometimes erupted into a cruel self-destruction. Parallel to the Dali’s story, the graphic novel follows the rise and fall of surrealist art and literature, centered on Paris and Barcelona, whose leading stars included Picasso, Breton, Ernst, Miro, Magritte, Lorca, Buñuel, and Eluard.

Le Mystère du col Dyatlov

Le Mystère du col Dyatlov (One-shot)

By Cédric Mayen & Jandro González

Publisher: Le Lombard
Genres: Crime & Mystery 

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.

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”!

Tif et Tondu - Nouvelle Intégrale

1968-1972 (6)

By Tillieux & Will

Mainstream Comics
Publisher: Dupuis
Genres: Action & Adventure 

This complete series marks an important turning point for Tif et Tondu, as Maurice Tillieux takes over the series’ script after the departure of Maurice Rosy. Tillieux, familiar with detective stories thanks to Gil Jourdan, took Tif et Tondu – and their illustrator Will! – to this type of treatment, far removed from Rosy’s fantasy. Farewell, then, to Mr. Choc and hello to Countess Amélie d’Yeu – known as “Kiki” – who appears in Tif et Tondu contre le Cobra (1971).
