Everyone remembers Narcissus, who drowned from admiring his reflection too much. But who has heard of Herostratus? Yet he, too, gave his name to an obsessive cult of the self. A psychological complex that resonates strongly in the age of social networking, the omnipotence of posturing, and self-validation through “likes.” For where Narcissus was self-sufficient, Herostratus sought to be seen, and remembered, by others.

In 356 BC, he set fire to the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. His motive: glory! The wise men couldn’t believe it, but even after torture, Herostratus persisted: the only reason he had destroyed the temple was to go down in history. Martin Veyron crafts a funny, gritty fable about the fatuity of men, poking fun at the Greek myths that inspire them in their arrogance.

Bly’s race against sexism turns into a race against the clock when another woman challenges her on who shall become a pioneer in voyaging history.

Nellie Bly fought for many causes in her lifetime, amongst them for better labor conditions in a rapidly industrializing society. Today, she may be considered a role model for young people looking to make their own long-lasting marks on human history.

This graphic novel is an exciting, dynamically told account of Nellie Bly’s challenge to herself and to the world, drawn in a Victorian style that suits the era.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1954.

Accompanied by her assistant and her agent, the actress Maria Vargas travels to Rio de Janeiro at the start of a tour of South America to promote her new film “The Barefoot Contessa.” It is early September 1954 and Brazil is in crisis: unable to put his policies into practice, the President has committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest. Amid the tense atmosphere, the people mourn as the military takes over.

Ignorant of political disturbances and social unrest, Maria just wants to have fun and enjoy her tour. She also has no idea that her compatriots regard her as a sex goddess of almost mythical stature, a cinematic legend, the Aphrodite of the 20th century—and therefore an object of immeasurable desire. On arrival at Rio’s Galeão airport, Maria is shocked to see hundreds of people waiting for her on the tarmac. Recoiling in fear, she leaves the airplane by a door on the opposite side, only to be pursued and harassed by the crowd. Traumatized by the experience, she becomes unstable, unpredictable, and irritable, having to contend not only with a hostile press but also with her own demons. Two days later, Maria is forced by the authorities to leave the country.
