Verões Felizes 2

During the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, two women's lives become irrevocably intertwined when they both fall victim to a nefarious underground fraternity of ex-soldiers from England's upper crust who have sworn their lives to defending the British Empire—as well as their own decadent lifestyles. In this first volume, young rebel Jennifer Winterfield and the mysterious Kitamakura from Japan forge an unlikely alliance along with Jennifer's doctor uncle and a street urchin named Pickles. Together they lay the groundwork for a criminal organization that will go on to sow terror in the hearts of the colonialists and industrialists who tried to put them down.

SHI - Volume 1 - In the Beginning there was Fury...

From his Barcelona studio in 1939, an aging Catalan painter shares with his model the mystery of his best friend Vidal Balaguer, "the forgotten genius" of Catalan Modernism, who vanished on the eve of 1900. His story his linked to the disappearance a few months earlier of his muse and lover, Mar, the subject of his most famous painting, "Young Lady in a Mantón." But there are other disappearances, too, of people, a corpse, some oranges, and a stubbornly silent canary named Stradivarius. A police detective is convinced that Balaguer murdered his model but by the end of the story we may come to believe that, as the painter himself reflects, "the murder weapon is not always what you might think!"

Spirou n'est plus journaliste ! Après avoir refusé de modifier un article un peu trop critique sur un barrage hydroélectrique en pleine jungle palombienne financé par un gros annonceur du journal, Spirou claque la porte du Moustique. Désoeuvré, il décide de prendre le temps de vivre et de rattraper le temps perdu, notamment en se mettant à la peinture et au jardinage. Mais d'étranges événements vont l'empêcher de réaliser ses envies. Il y a d'abord la nature qui semble devenue folle et des champignons "qui n'existent pas" qui provoquent une véritable marée noire végétale, au grand désarroi de Pacôme. Il y a ensuite ces mystérieuses toiles révolutionnaires d'un auteur anonyme qui arrivent à la galerie Bernard et pour lesquelles le cheik Ibn-Mah-Zout est prêt à payer des fortunes. Et Fantasio qui est chargé par son journal de trouver l'artiste génial, créateur de ce nouveau courant pictural appelé "le zooïsme. Il y a enfin Noé, ce dompteur extraordinaire qu'on avait découvert dans "Bravo, les Brothers" qui est de retour en ville avec toute sa ménagerie et une gamine... qui n'est autre que sa propre fille, une adolescente ballottée depuis toujours et qui débarque de son Canada natal. Et que Noé va confier à Spirou ! Ce Spirou signé Frank et Zidrou est une fable humaniste et écologique menée par deux auteurs au sommet de leur art !

Le Spirou de Frank Pé et Zidrou - La lumière de Bornéo

Michele Foschini

Pierre è un fumettista belga, e ogni anno si affanna per consegnare le tavole in tempo per portare la famiglia in vacanza. La moglie, Mado, è paziente con lui, ma i bambini lo sono un po’ meno. I tre capitoli di questo volume vanno a ritroso nel tempo, raccontando tre estati nella vita di questa famiglia unica e allo stesso tempo così simile a tante altre, rivelandone la psicologia e i sogni in un modo deliziosamente poetico. Lo sceneggiatore Zidrou costruisce un racconto corale a più livelli, delicato e vero, rendendo ogni personaggio meravigliosamente tridimensionale, aiutato dai magnifici disegni dello spagnolo Jordi Lafebre. Sebbene la serie sia ancora in corso in Francia, questo primo volume italiano è perfettamente autoconclusivo e, anzi, lascia una sensazione di commossa soddisfazione nel lettore, grazie a un finale che vi strapperà una lacrima di pura, malinconica empatia.

Little Miss Cheery

What do you do when you hate your wife and you're sleeping with your stepdaughter? If you're ostrich farmer Pep, you beat your wife's head in with a shovel when your stepdaughter asks you to. You might do it some rainy night, and toss the body down a well for good measure. You might even think you're getting some money out of it. But if you're hapless and unlucky as Pep is, you might find yourself trapped in a hell of your own making, endlessly wondering: how many times do you have to kill someone before they're really dead?
