Dayak

The last of his breed, Dayak is born into a futuristic ghetto overrun with ruthless heavy-armed brutes. Dayak is a highly enjoyable example of the standard "corrupt future" graphic novel plot, with the uncommon twist of being set in Africa. A fratricide struggle in a futuristic Africa.
Witness the clash of two brothers in an African Los Angeles which has the feel of an immense ghetto. On one side there is Dayak, abandoned as a child, he was raised in secret and initiated in the world of magic. On the other there is Simon, President of CPM, a mining company that sees Africa, merely, as a vast depositary ripe for pillaging. The battle that ensues between the two is not just brother against brother; it is man against money and love versus indifference. And it also represents a clash of two indestructible forces: machines against wizards, technology against magic.
After a number of albums Dayak is Adamovâ's first series as both artist and writer. It is a dynamic work rich in design, with textured colours, there is intrigue, passion and politics blended together to create a bewitching and sulphurous mix.

Dakota

In a perfect world, only the superheroes have their place ... It was a Friday night that Gordon Ox was taken with an irresistible desire to enjoy a delicious risotto in a restaurant forbidden to those of his condition, the "Collapses". It was first looked awkward, imperfect in the middle of these people beautiful, young, impeccable. Succeeding in being forgotten, he almost managed to savor his dish, until he committed an inconceivable act: Gordon Ox coughed. However, in the spheres where he dared to introduce, everyone has of course super-powers, and the disease has long been eradicated! Triggering panic, Ox is forced to flee. 
A special agent is put on his track: it is the beautiful and cold Dakota. This world where some people have the means to live better longer, more fit, more beautiful, and dig ever more away with the rest of the population, does not that tell you anything? In this new series inspired by the universe of "superheroes", Dufaux and Adamov offer us an ironic and distanced mirror on our own company ?? A comic book by Jean Dufaux and Adamov, Philippe.
