Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” was one of the best-selling albums in rock history. With her raspy voice, her wild hair, and her trademark wisp of eyeliner, she quickly became of the biggest pop icons of her century. And yet, in 2011, after bouts of depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, and bulimia, she joined the famously tragic “27 Club.”
This docu-comic—a combination of biography and graphic novel—retraces the key moments in Winehouse’s short life.

Journal d’une bataille is the story of an inner battle. It’s a diary in which Cyril Pedrosa offers 92 drawings, complemented by texts written over the course of several months, but which do not constitute extensions of the illustrative part. A fragmentary but regular “autobio-graphic” style of writing, which enables one of the most innovative and popular authors of his time to talk about his research into drawing, as well as his observations of the world over a period spanning from June 2022 to December 2023.
With over 21 million albums sold, Les Tuniques Bleues is one of the strongest representations of the Western in French-Belgian comics. It deals, among other things, with the absurdity of war and the value of friendship in the most extreme circumstances. Raoul Cauvin and Willy Lambil have remained discreet personalities, largely ignored in academic circles. This first coffee-table book dedicated to their work fills a real gap.
Over 200 original plates, carefully scanned and reproduced, bear witness to the triumph of Lambil’s drawing in the service of Cauvin’s exemplary storytelling!

the vertiginous immensity of philosophy, sometimes we’d rather die
than learn. In need of help? Trust Catherine Meurisse to illuminate

philosophers flow from her observant pen: Aristotle, Nietzsche,
Cioran, Rousseau, Voltaire, Hegel, Deleuze, Beauvoir, Arendt, Marx…
The cartoonist takes the opportunity to rail against the predominance
of men in the world of ideas. Handling philosophical concepts with
rigor and humor, dispelling myths, Man and Superwoman sketches
out a different way to think and be in the world.
