La Faune de Mars (2018)

by Moebius. Everyone now knows that the planet Mars is barren. However, robots are sent there at great expense, equipped with small remote-controlled shovels, which stubbornly dig the arid soil in the hope of discovering the curled-up fossils of ancient bacteria.

The Hunted Hunter

by Moebius. Drawn between 2005 and 2008. Moebius was obviously feeling death approaching so he was frantically studying and practicing Carlos Castaneda's "The Art of Dreaming". The French edition's name is "The depressed Hunter" but we prefer "The Hunted Hunter", the Spanish name.

Lone Sloane

Lone Sloane is a science fiction comics character created in 1966 by the French cartoonist Philippe Druillet. Lone Sloane first appeared in Druillet's own debut, Mystère des Abîmes, published in 1966. Other stories were published in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote from February 1970 to April 1971. 

The series was subsequently revamped by the author for Metal Hurlant magazine. Set 800 years after a catastrophic event called the "Great Fear" the stories feature Lone Sloane, who is caught by an entity called He Who Seeks, after his space ship is destroyed. He is thrown into a different dimension, where he becomes a space rogue and freebooter with strange powers. He finds himself caught in an inter-galactic struggle between space pirates, gigantic robots, dark gods and other-dimensional entities. Very similar to Silver Surfer and Galactus, or Ulysses and the Greek Gods, he is compelled to wander in a universe that is alien to him. It is also known for the quasi-Baroque style of Druillet's artwork, which features H.P. Lovecraft's space nightmares mixed with M.C. Escher's influences.
