Chicago, 1938. Jules Tivoli, a 17-year-old Italian immigrant, finds his life turned upside down when he crosses paths with Adam Czar, an older, charismatic, and infuriating member of the local Mafia. Jules is attracted to him, and Adam, seduced by the young man's nerve, decides to take him under his wing. At first self-effacing, Jules climbs the ranks to become an important member of the Mafia. Little by little, he begins to realize that Adam takes a very dim view of his young lover's ascendancy over him...

Five women from various backgrounds are brought together by fate to fight as allies for their survival. A retired schoolteacher, an Indian who's handy with a bow, a young, immigrant widow from London, a brothel worker who's made off with the till and a fourteen-year-old slave who's been put in a cage. This unlikely band of adventurers must fight off the violence men resort to when caught in greed's ubiquitous grip. They'll do it with arrows, pies, brooms, pots, knitting-needles, and a lethal revolver that becomes even more dangerous in the hands of the sharpest-shooter of them all: a teenager who's been whipped, locked in a cage and freed only to fall victim to pneumonia. These women have got each other's backs and don't take kindly to the worst mankind has to offer.

"To philosophize is to learn to die," said Montaigne. But, faced with the vertiginous immensity of philosophy, sometimes we'd rather die than learn. In need of help? Trust Catherine Meurisse to illuminate neon and nothingness and to air out Plato's cave. The most famous 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.

By 1744, two separate editions of Shakespeare's complete works have been published, but there is still a missing piece, a missing link... a missing play! Actress Peg Woffington is convinced that the role of a lifetime is contained within that mysterious play, "The History of Cardenio," if only it can be found. Peg and her loyal steward, Ignatius Sancho, race across England from clue to clue, but they soon find that there are other players conspiring against them. Death, disguises, and intrigue combine in Jean Harambat's Shakespearian-style comedy, painted with his trademark imaginative style.
Harambat is also the author of Operation Copperhead and The Detection Club.

Undertaker Jonas Crow is the most sought-after criminal in the West, unanimously hated for the massacre he committed during the War of Secession.

Together they manage the 'Wandering Undertaker'. Thanks to Jonas, Rose discovers within herself the makings of a true undertaker. Lin, her housemaid, originally the owner of a brothel in Shanghai, never leaves her side. Together the trio crosses the United States, running into plenty of death-related adventures along the way. As Jonas says, 'death never comes alone'.
