THE END OF THE EUROPEAN SUPERHERO
This album, the first in a series of six, contains:
Prologue: "Mechanoid Curie".
September 1938. At the invitation of Doctor Mabuse, dozens of superhumans assemble in the secret city of Metropolis. Among them, Irène Joliot-Curie, hidden behind the mask of a Soviet android. What Mabuse is about to reveal could destabilise the fragile equilibrium of the European powers. But a nightmarish intruder has invited himself to this meeting.
Episode 1: "The Final Mission of The Passer-Through-Walls".
Six months later, in Paris. While The Nyctalope, all-powerful protector of The City of Lights, searches for a biographer amongst the Surrealists, Irène Joliot-Curie and her husband Frédéric investigate the consequences of the meeting in Metropolis. An old friend of the Radium Institute has agreed to help them.
Episode 2: "Cagliostro".
Did the dying Marie Curie really designate the Nyctalope as the protector of Paris in 1934? His biographer, the beautiful George Spad, goes to the American hospital in Neuilly to question Jean Séverac, a former military doctor who may have been present. The hypnotist Cagliostro, the sorceress Palmyre and a monstruous extradimensional entity disrupt their meeting.
Episode 3: "The Burning Chamber".
Troubled by George Spad's revelations about his links to the Chimerical Brigade - one of the most mysterious groups of superheroes of the interwar years -, Jean Séverac returns to the Radium Institute to demand answers from the Joliot-Curie couple. The intrusion of an enemy of VERY GRAND STATURE confronts him with the impossible truth.
Episode 4: "The Broken Man".
Who are the Chimeras? The symbols of the Séverac dynasty made flesh? Mythical entities from the depths of the ages? At the Radium Institute, the discovery of the Burning Chamber allows Irène Joliot-Curie to open this metaphysical investigation while, in Paris' sewers and cellars, a gang of Vampyres make a remarkable return.
Episode 5: "Happy Birthday Doctor Séverac!"
Invited by George Spad to a private dinner at the Royal Monceau, Jean Séverac learns of the existence of a mysterious "club" that closely watches the balance of superscientific power in Europe. The reappearance of the Xenobiota, an extra-terrestrial creature which terrorised the capital once before in 1930, will give him the opportunity to once and for all accept his double nature and draw his birthday to a breathtaking conclusion.
Episode 6: "International Politics".
The Nyctalope has left Paris. At the Radium institute, Irène Joliot-Curie plans to take advantage of his absence to infiltrate the Chimerical Brigade into the CID. But George Spad's graphomania poses serious problems, and meanwhile, Félifax the tiger-man conducts a reconnaissance mission to the edge of horror.
Episode 7: "H-A-V-russe".
Just like in the glory days of the M gang, Doctor Mabuse, the Werewolf and the Blue Angel are united in their efforts to welcome a mysterious guest to Metropolis. They do not suspect that at the same moment, Jean Séverac and George Spad are carrying out a lightning raid beneath Montmartre. A monstrosity from the depths of the ages thwarts their progress.

Marcel Rayman is executed by firing squad on 21st February 1944 at Fort Mont-Valérien. He is 21 years old.
‘The Red Poster’ tells the story of this young, Jewish pacifist from Poland who took up arms against the heinous Nazi regime, alongside Missak Manouchian and other resistants in the FTP-MOI: a communist section of the French Resistance composed entirely of foreigners, fighting for France and ‘liberté, egalité, fraternité’ until their network was dismantled.
Far from the glorious clichés, this innocent young man gradually becomes a seasoned warrior and a skilled strategist. Over the course of two gruelling years, during which his family are deported, Marcel Rayman becomes versed in underground resistance fighting, armed warfare, assaults, urban guerilla tactics, death, fear… and betrayal.
It is his face which appears on the flaming red poster, a piece of propaganda spread by the occupying authorities, intended to discredit the actions of the Parisian Resistance.

An original Sci-Fi adventure of rebellion against a totalitarian and oppressive world, as only imagined by master storyteller Alexandro Jodorowsky. On Megalex, the city-planet, the laws of nature are prohibited. The tyrannical order reigns over a renewed population controlled by genetic manipulation. Due to the repeated attacks of the neighboring forest, primitive and impenetrable, the urbanized system in command allowed an 'anomaly,' a clone policeman nearly 10 ft tall, to escape. Guided by Adama, one of the rebels fighting for their freedom, the gentle giant manages to join the camp of the 'objectors' and help them go up against the evil powers of Megalex. Straight from the untamed minds of Alexandro Jodorowsky ( The Incal, The Metabarons ) and Fred Beltran ( Pin-Up Girls From Around the World ).
A Masterpiece story from Alejandro Jodorowski and a state of art from Fred Beltran. On Megalex, a gigantic planet-industrial city, every nature is banished. It Man and woman reproduces by cloning itself, people are preprogrammed from birth until death, regimented in classes with unequal privileges. The most spectacular life. The police only has live in 400 days, for citezen they are 40 years, but for the queen 4000 years. Everything would be fine in the Brave New World if only a few remaining 'anomalies': a forest irreducible and aggressive, rebels buried and, from time to time, there always a malfunction in the system.

Before the Metabarons there were the Castakas, a clan of lawless pirates - this is their story. The Metabarons recounted the extraordinary saga of the genealogy of the galaxy's ultimate warrior. But his ancestors also had ancestors. And far from being noble warriors with an inflexible code, one will discover they were in fact disloyal, vengeful pirates born out of brutality and war. From legendary creator Alexandro Jodorowsky and artist Das Pastoras, and for all of those who dreamt of a sequel to The Metabarons, comes instead the origin tale of their first ancestor, Dayal de Castaka.

The seminal series' spin-off story recounting how the mightiest warrior in the universe built his arsenal of war. The creative trio of Jodorowsky, Charest, and Janjetov shows us how the Metabaron assembled the galaxy’s most powerful and destructive weapons in an effort to secure his position as the universe’s ultimate warrior. Travis Charest's (Artist of Wildcats, WildC. A. T. s/X-Men: The Golden Age, and Star Wars comics Cover Artist) interpretation of 'The Metabarons' mythology.

This is a collection of portraits of 7 women, of all different ages, backgrounds, circumstances and eras. Each one of them is facing a defining moment in her life. They are bound together by the symbol of their femininity: their breasts. We see an awkward college girl getting to grips with her womanhood; a 1960s house-wife freeing herself from the restraints of propriety; the manager of a small underwear shop fighting against corporate giants; a woman nude modeling for an unexpected reason... Love, illness, sex, liberation, sensuality: Olivier Pont draws us into the lives of these women with astounding force.

Marie Curie is the only woman ever to have received two Nobel prizes: the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, shared with her husband, Pierre Curie, and the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for her work with polonium and radium in 1911. She was also the first woman ever to teach at the Sorbonne. This inspired comic is set at the time she received her second Nobel Prize, when a vicious press campaign was launched against her, denouncing her affair with the physician Paul Langevin. Through her flash-backs, we're invited to witness the key moments of this exceptional woman's life and work.

Esteban, a young Indian orphan of twelve, sets off on a great adventure. He follows his dream: he gets aboard a whaler, takes on the open sea, becomes a harpooner. Impressed by his tenacity and courage, the commander of the Leviathan takes him on as a ship’s boy and they set off for Cape Horn. He’ll discover life aboard a whaler, the crudeness – but solidarity – of the sailors, and the harshness of their world.
