My Heart in Braille (2023)

Victor loves vintage cars and belting out songs in his garage band, but school is harder for him and he seems to always say the wrong thing. When he meets the cello-playing, straight-A student Marie-Jo, the two strike up an unlikely friendship, and before long both his grades and his attitude improve. But when Marie-Jo confesses a terrible secret to him, Victor will have to return the favor and do a little rescuing of his own. by Joris Chamblain (Author), Anne-Lise Nalin (Illustrator) .

Six 001 - The Tanque Verde Massacre (2023)

What do a one-eyed boy, a young prostitute, a deserter, a runaway slave, a defrocked nun and a renegade Indian have in common? Apparently, none. Nothing brings them closer. It was chance – and luck – that brought them together, because nothing brings them together. Nothing, except perhaps the quest for gold, the promise of a better life and a worthy future in the violent and wild American West of the 1850s. Kid, the young boy blinded during a attack that decimated his family, promised them “a mountain of gold” if they accompany him to the Black Hills, where he must recover a document of the utmost importance. With this first volume of a four-volume series that shakes up the usual western codes, Philippe Pelaez renews our view of the West! He places in the foreground characters usually invisible or confined to clichés, such as blacks, women and Indian warriors, in a breathless fresco and magnified by the expressive graphics of Javier Casado. by Philippe Pelaez (Author), Javier Casado (Illustrator).

Apache Junction 01

The Western takes place around 1875 and follows a US Army messenger, at a time when Apache tribes refuse to be locked up in reservations and engage the federal government in guerilla war fare. The messenger gets wounded in a knife fight and needs to seek refuge at a lonely farm. Holly Moors has this to say about Apache Junction: “Nuyten seems to want to combine the exciting stories of Jean Giraud and the engaged, critical attitude of Hans Kresse. He is a bit too wordy in the first part of the album, and could use a good, tight script writer. That way he can focus on the art, where he doesn’t quite yet reach Giraud’s level, though he is getting there. Still, I have finished the album in one go, and will certainly read the second part, because this is definitely an artist to keep an eye on.”

Deathburger Unit B378

Deathburger Unit B378 is an artist who's been creating very slick cyberpunk artwork for years now. Considering that the "cyberpunk future" is not going to happen, this vision is obsolete but the art is so cool nonetheless. If you're a fan of moebius and Geoff Darrow, you'll LOVE this.

This is essentially an artbook, no text or story. There is volume 2 and a bunch of other books but they are in pdf format
