Urbance 1

Make love and die in Neopolis!

The people of Neopolis have contracted a virus that makes all physical contact with the opposite sex fatal—and therefore illegal. Boys and girls are taught to hate each other and live on opposite sides of a wall. But all this is set to change, thanks to the creation of N-Dorphin, a revolutionary new drug. As a result, Kenzell and Lesya, dissidents from either side of the wall, will unwittingly find themselves engaged in a merciless clan war and will have to face a reality that is beyond their comprehension…


Bunkerville

In a fit of depression, golden boy Laurel dives into the sea to rejoin the lost love of his life, Eleanora. But when he reopens his eyes, he finds himself in a Victorian town on a man-made island that looks like a set from a Jules Verne movie adaptation.

Permanently shrouded in fog, Bunkerville was built in the mid-19th century by a wealthy industrialist whose son was mentally ill. His idea was to create a closed, self-sufficient world in which the boy could live a “normal” life with people like himself—all of them with mental problems.

Discovering signs that Eleanora, whom he thought he would never see again, is on the island, Laurel sets out to find her. But his troubles have only just begun.


Le combat d’Henry Fleming

May 1863, the Battle of Chancellorsville. At the height of the Civil War, a young soldier discovers the reality of war. Instead of demonstrating bravery and heroism, as he imagined he would, he discovers that he is a mere coward. Gradually, he overcomes his fear and gains the courage he dreamed of.


American Circus

Daytona, Indianapolis, Ford, Chevrolet, Chaparral, NASCAR, Dragster, Can-Am… Michel and Steve take on the American drivers in the key events of the 70s in the USA, at the wheel of legendary cars!

Welcome to the latest collection of Jean Graton’s short stories, featuring such legendary tales as Corrida pour une marguerite, Photo-finish and Moi j’préfère les drag’s, some of which have been recolored for the occasion. But you’ll also be able to discover Le 13 fou, two pages never before published in French and in album form, drawn for a German magazine in the late 70s, as well as impeccable F1 racing stories and a particularly snowy Rallye Monte-Carlo!


Origines

In 1957, Jean Graton created the legendary race car driver Michel Vaillant, who was featured in a series of short stories published in Tintin magazine. These stories marked the beginning of a long-running adventure saga that continues to this day. This collection includes seven early stories that brought Vaillant onto the scene and made him what he is today. A fascinating look into the origins of a classic, with a vibrant retro style.


Glissades et rigolades

Wahkan

Paris, 1889. The newly completed Eiffel Tower is the star of the Universal Exhibition, but a mysterious serial killer is decimating its visitors. Young police inspector Eleanor Kowalski has only Jules Castignac, a somewhat eccentric new recruit, to help her find the culprit before the gutter press labels the great iron structure the “Tower of Terror.” Ignoring the advice of her irascible superior officer, Eleanor follows her instincts and drags her new partner into a highspeed chase across the City of Lights.

SangDragon

In the highlands of Ergwad, King Arthmel has just died, leaving the throne to the brutal Prince Oghor. Afraid of being deposed by his sister, Princess Helia, Oghor imprisons her on the pretext that her love of Pyrize, a mysterious stone, has awakened a dragon that will ravage the kingdom. Accompanied by a Khtoll called Yoyo, Helia escapes and makes her way to Kohrmor, the land of the dragon, to defeat the monster that is threatening her people—for she is no longer a princess, but a warrior!


Manouchian

The French-Armenian poet and communist activist Missak Manouchian was a hero of the French Resistance during WW2. Tortured and shot by the Nazis on February 21, 1944, along with 22 other members of the Francs-tireurs et partisans français (FTPF)— an armed organization created by leaders of the French Communist Party—Manouchian became a martyr who is honored by the French to this day.

At the same time, his death was exploited by the Germans for propaganda purposes via the infamous “Affiche Rouge,” a poster distributed by the Vichy government in a bid to discredit the Resistance movement in the eyes of the French people.

An extraordinary story that will surely hit the headlines again in February 2024, when Missak and his wife, Mélinée, will be interred in the Panthéon in Paris.
