We are at the 88th edition of the Olympic Games in 432 B.C.,
and three gladiators are preparing to fight in the Pancrace
arena. They are: Aurelyos of Mikonos, who is looking for his
son, Pantarké of Olympus, a young wrestler who is being
manipulated by his superiors, and Chyonis of Athens, who is
about to reveal a conspiracy having to do with the sculptor
Phidias. At stake: the secret of Phidias’ masterpiece, the
gorgeous, ancient statue of Zeus, ornately overlaid with
gleaming gold and ivory…

Ils me surnommaient ainsi
parce que je n’avais jamais
connu mes parents.
Ma mère était morte en
me donnant le jour…
Quant à mon père, je n’avais
jamais rien su de lui.
À l’aube de mes douze ans,
je pouvais déjà considérer
que j’étais un homme.
Je connaissais les secrets
de la procréation. L’année
précédente, lors d’une
journée d’hiver, je m’étais
livré à un drôle de calcul,
dont le résultat avait fait
naître en moi d’étranges
espoirs.
Va savoir pourquoi,
j’étais certaine de
te trouver ici.
J’étais né, comme je l’avais
découvert, très exactement
neuf mois après l’Ekecheiria
qui s’était tenue douze ans
auparavant.
Chaque jour, j’allais me rendre au Stadion en me répétant
que, parmi les illustres
champions qui se disputaient
la couronne de laurier…
Je combats contre
Alcimèdes demain matin.
J’avais pas envie de
rester en ville.
Oui. Comme tu peux le
constater… Je n’ai
pas encore fini de la
pleurer.
Et donc tu es
venu voir Clio…
… il y aurait peutêtre mon père.
Depuis cette découverte,
j’avais compté avec impatience les lunes qui me séparaient des prochains jeux.

stupides cérémonies
sportives… Ou aurais-tu

These are investigations written by a real policeman from the
Brigade de Répression du Banditisme, the equivalent of the US
Special Investigations Units. This story in 2 volumes recalls
how a team from the BRB will solve the case of jewellery stores
hold-ups with explosives. This is and endless investigation
: collecting information, undercoverwork, wiretapping,
thinking, and building a strategy to catch them for good. In the
meantime, we are following another police team, from Police
Secours, who answers emergency calls. The work is almost
the opposite: quick reactions, action, stress, and short term
cases: they never know what is behind the door they open.
22 has an amazing rhythm: we follow the often dramatic
high-stakes police emergency work as well as the drudgery
and detail involved in undercover work and investigations.

There have always been people with odd paranormal powers,
which no one has ever been able to explain. Only certain
insiders and secret societies know that their powers come from
possessing certain ancient coins: the 30 pieces of silver given
to Judas. Others come into random contact with these
powerful individuals, and they are curious, wanting to learn
more. But this knowledge will come at a terrible price.

This is the story of the fabulous quest for the ice Astrolabe, an
astronomical instrument capable of changing the history of
Christianity forever.
In 1527, after 5 years of imprisonment, the talented
Mathematician Bashir Hafez is liberated by Sultan Soliman.
Soliman orders him to retrieve a book of ephemeris from the
Vatican. However, this very book has been stolen and is now
in the possession of Fiametta, who flees and goes into hiding
from her persecutors. Meanwhile, Bashir arrives in Rome just
as Charles V’s mercenaries begin its siege. One of them, Rolf
von Adamar, finds himself involuntarily involved in the
bloody search for the book. Bashir, Fiamma and Rolf are held
prisoner in the Eternal City – and must figure out a way to
escape and find the ice Astrolabe. Hard on their heels are the
ferocious hired killers from the Vatican, German mercenaries
and a group of other, mysterious assassins.

Blind and nearly invincible, he is the last of his clan.
Accompanied by the spirit of his master, a raccoon in the form
of a ghost and a perky, fast-talking bar girl, his quest is going
to be rather difficult, not as fun as he would’ve liked. Being
hassled by the agents of the local lord, being attacked by a
horrible monster and being chased by the terrible 9 Capital

BILLETS D’AMOUR
Scr ipt & A rt
Ro m a i n Ro n zeau
Pitched somewhere between marital crisis and the perfect
union, Billets d’amour is basically Carnets de mariage after
marriage, in other words the true story of the couple as a unit,
according to Romain Ronzeau. It is a delightful essay on
everyday love.
First there is the woman, the one who takes care of her
husband’s dirty laundry – while at the same time reminding
him – of its persnickety power. Then there is love, those things
which unite and which reunite us, for example the two of you
attempting to slide your duvet cover onto your duvet. We end
up with a collection of droll yet moving anecdotes about
married life. A guide for couples – and for everyone else.

“I adore you, but if you get right down to it, I prefer sleeping with

1918. It is just after World War I, in the charming village of
Sweet Cove, where life is peaceful and calm. Yes, Sweet
Cove... with its well-maintained gardens, its tea rooms filled
with the sweet smells of cakes and cookies… it is here that a
mysterious booted killer has struck, a perfect opportunity for a
famous retired teacher to take up her favorite sport.

There has been a violent eruption on the planet of Terra
Amata. There is an attempt to move the islands away from
the lava and to find breathable air, but King Poussière, the
wizened blind, mystical dragon, thinks that it is perhaps time
for him to die heroically. However the feisty young red rabbit
Marvin Rouge refuses to give up and plans to find a way out of
this mess, including finding a way to actually breathe… to
read along with Donjon Crépuscule 111 – La Fin du Donjon.

Lord and Lady Glenarvan go out on a sea excursion, finding inside the body of a shark a bottle containing a distress
message sent by Captain Grant before his shipwreck. They
decide to find the survivors, accompanied of course by Mary
and Robert, the Captain’s children, and by Paganel, an
absent-minded, eccentric professor. And so begins their long,
adventurous and at times dangerous voyage, travelling as far
as Patagonia and then Australia.

Meet Chol. He works at the North Korean Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. One day he forgets to wear on his jacket the official
badge with the Great Leader’s face on it, an inexcusable error.
His superiors give him ten days to erase this mistake by
becoming an exemplary guide to Michael Sztanke, a foreigner
who has come there to shoot a piece on North Korea. He has
one shot, one chance to prove his loyalty and also perhaps to
be understood…
A journalist, writer and director, Michael
Sztanke lived for eight years in China, in Beijing
as a correspondent for RFI , then in Hong Kong as
a senior television reporter. In 2004 he was the coauthor of Étudiants chinois, qui sont les élites
de demain? published by Éditions Autrement, and
the author of Han Dongfang, mon combat pour les
ouvriers chinoi s which was released by Éditions
Michel Lafont. His most recent documentary Asie,
le Réveil ouvrier was nominated for the Albert
Londres Prize, the highest French journalism
award, in 2013. His documentary on North Korea
will be broadcast sometime in 2014. The artist
working with him on this album is Alexis Chabert.

It is July, 1914. Little Joséphine, nicknamed Finnele, is eight.
She splits her time between the school in her small village in
Alsace and the church where her father officiates. It is a
delightful, carefree life of small happinesses. But the threat of
war is confirmed, and now men are being called up, and worse
– the region is soon to be divided between Germany and
France. We see this troubled time through the clear eyes of a
child…

Horologiom is a city completely cut off from the world, run

In Horologiom, triangles help keep the city running, but their
management requires a certain amount of surveillance. To
keep up daily re-supplyng, the few authorized functionaries
are required to navigate a vast labyrinth of corridors which
seem to change daily. And when there are faults in the system,
only the S.V.P. can do the investigation.

Having become a silver Falcon, like his father who fell in battle,
Danaël travels around Alysia seeking justice and truth. Impulsive,
arrogant and combative, the young man is not right for and is not
accepted in the army run by his brother. Worse, he feels as if he
really hasn’t accomplished anything. But you don’t have to be
wearing armor to serve your country, and he will find this out

deaths and leaving more than 7000 victims homeless. Using
testimony from fifteen of the survivors, Corbeyran and Horne
retrace the events of that day. They show us the progression of
events leading to the break in the dam, and attempt to show

It begins with the coin toss, then the first service game – and
it ends with one winner and one loser. It lasts for hundreds of
pages of tension, doubt, joy, fear, impotence, anger and
surprises. It intimidates, worries, makes us laugh, astonishes
us. This is tennis in the raw, a UFO in the form of a comic

his fans, he is nonetheless not the man everyone believes him
to be. A skinny, somewhat melancholy fellow who looks a bit
like a Pierrot, he is in fact a walking cliché, a precocious child

father becomes too weak to continue coaching him, Max is
suddenly free, but must learn to deal with his demons and the
important existential questions tormenting him …

Le Poisson-clown recalls the life of Happy Wimbush, a young and
somewhat naive country guy, who’s arrival in the city of Denver will
change his destiny.
When Happy arrives in Denver, he is certainly not expecting to
run into the guys from the local Mafia. But he has come to find his
brother in Denver, a man clearly involved in some shady deals and
hanging out with the wrong crowd. He shows Happy a few hard
truths about the realities of life. The guys are preparing a daring
hold-up (diamonds) and Happy meets a rather unusual cop. Of
course the hold-up ends up to be a failure, and Happy escapes with
the diamonds. Chased by both police and mafia, Happy runs away.
Thanks to flashbacks, the reader will learn all about Happy, Christina (the woman he loves), and the reason why a happy guy from
the countryside turns out to be the most wanted guy in Denver.

by combustion or an acid shower. They are letting their TV
audience decide.
A realistic prophecy about an ultra-liberal future, Rosko is a
caustic perspective on a society overly obsessed with spectacle.

ROUGE DE CHINE

Th i er r y Ro b i n
Henk learns that the Chinese city he is in was once the site of
an epic battle between a knight and a dragon. But these
legends do not intimidate him, nor do the rumblings of
rebellion growing among the population. One thing does get
to him, though, the steady gaze of Liu, the young Manchu
woman – which will turn his world upside down. China is
changing, dreams are becoming reality and the legends are
returning.

LA VISION DE BACCHUS

Jea n Dyt a r
Venice, 1510. The great painter Giorgione is dying of the
plague. He expends a final burst of energy finishing his last
piece, an homage to his first pictoral emotion. The story also
wanders through Venice’s past, searching for this lost reference.
Giorgione also must face the question all painters ask
themselves: how to bring to life the extraordinary image of a
presence on a completely flat surface?
