A Tale of Two Arthurs Book

A Tale of Two Arthurs is an impressionistic chronicle of two very different men: Jack Arthur Johnson, the black American boxer, and Arthur Cravan, the white French poet and provocateur. These two men fought an improbable boxing match in Barcelona in 1916 which acts as the pivot point of this double-portrait which is also a kind of mirror: for despite their differences they were both fiercely independent individuals who in their own ways defied the mores of their time with a mixture of bravado, intelligence, and brute strength. Accompanying both men on their journeys is a celebrity chimpanzee named Consul who serves as the uniting thread — as well as the unlikely narrator — of this adventurous and ambitious comic. by Antico Nine. Ilustrator: Grégoire Carlé.

The Wednesday Conspiracy

This is an action-packed series about a group of young people, who meet every Wednesday under Dr. Richard's supervision. Richard is a psychiatrist who works selflessly with this group on areas of self- help. These sessions are very similar to AA meetings. However, no one here is fighting an addiction. These people work on controlling their paranormal abilities, in an effort to learn how to live with them. One of them, Brian, is pyrokinetic. He can start a fire from a distance. The fact that he cannot keep his ability under control understandably causes huge problems for him and those around him. Roger is a paragnostic who can read other people's minds. He can’t help intruding into other people's heads. This strange ability makes him very uncomfortable when he travels by train or by subway, as his mind gets flooded with other people's thoughts. Everyone in this group has a unique problem that is ruining his or her everyday life. These self-help sessions have been going on for years in a rather calm atmosphere, until the day they learn of the secret society known as “Encrucijada,” which threatens to jeopardize their interests – and their lives. Author: Sergio Bleda.
