Philippe Tome, Mac Hardy - FIRE 1 (2005) (Scantilation)

A rocket carrying a human baby girl crashes on a distant planet where intelligent dinosaurs have developed a civilization. I really like Hardy's cartoonish style here. Unfortunately, due to disagreements between the creators and the publisher, the series will not be continued, even though a second album was written and drawn. Some nudity and violence.

Griffo - Beatifica Blues vol 1

The world has become a vast desert and to survive, humans need the Beatifica Blues, a little miracle pill to breathe. This pill has become the currency, and it is the government that manages it. Beatifica Blues is a 1980s post apocalyptic fiction so it is somewhat dated but that's fine, it is still million times better than your average American comic. The series was 3 volumes, and is simply the prologue of the Samba Bugatti series. The plot isn't very logical at times and Dufaux himself admits it, but it was an early work by him.
