Tikitis (repost)

A group of retired Lucha Libre masked heroes hope for well-deserved peace and quiet on a small Polynesian island. Unbeknownst to them, their greatest adventures have yet to come! Art: Fabien M. Writer: Jerry Frissen. 

Philoloco, Doctor Sumo, Polynome Z and Cerebrex are four retired Luchadores known as "The Tikitis." They thought life would be easy living on a "savage island." Boy, were they wrong! Amidst dealing with growing old, the foursome accidentally find themselves in the most wild of habitats, where world-threatening evildoers regularly create turmoil. It’s hard to call retired life on a tropical island "paradise" when you have to deal with Voodoo zombies, brain-swapping mad scientists, a cyclops and, worst of all, a visit from Philoloco’s overbearing mother!

Sapiens Imperium (2021)

After losing the imperial throne to the Kerkans, all members of the Khelek Dynasty and their allies were banished to the barren caves of Tazma. Sixty-five standard years later, their descendants are still held captive there. Xinthia has had enough. "In 1972, the Moroccan king Hassan II escaped an attack organized by General Oufkir, a close relative. Oufkir was executed, but his wife and six children, the youngest of whom was only three, were thrown into a dungeon from which they would not emerge for nineteen years. by Sam Timel  (Author), Jorge Miguel (Illustrator).

The Forest

The Forest is a graphic novella told via twenty-five singular illustrations, without words, of which only Swiss artist Thomas Ott is capable. A young boy sneaks away from a family funeral and sinks into the forest depths, where he confronts man's greatest fear and must choose his path. Drawing with a technique called scratchboard, where a white surface is covered with a black layer and scratched away, Ott creates images out of negative space to harrowing effect.

Anibal 5 (repost)

The misadventures of a sex-addicted cyborg humorously subvert classic science fiction and super-spy tropes.

The European Defense Organization (EDO) is entrusted with protecting the Earth from cosmic terrorists bent on the destruction of humanity. Their key weapon: a sex-obsessed secret agent by the name of Anibal 5. As Anibal and the rest of EDO's eclectic team battle evil dictators, nymphet clones, and a mysterious criminal syndicate, things turn inevitably, and irrevocably, delirious and erotic.
