The Blood of the Immortals (2022)

by Françoise Ruscak  (Author), Francesco Trifogli (Artist). An expedition arrives on the planet Verfebro in search of life's greatest ambition: immortality. What if the key to eternal life were only a few planetary systems away?

The members of the expedition will do anything to uncover the mysteries of life on this planet, no matter the cost.

Amalia (Europe Comics 2022)

Created by Aude Picault. Amalia is on the verge of burnout. Her family life—with her husband, Karim; her 4-year-old daughter, Lili; and her 17-year-old stepdaughter, Nora—is nothing but rushing around, screaming, and doors slamming. At work, they talk about agility, flexibility, and adaptation, but her workload is slipping away from her. As she drives through the countryside, she sees diseased wheat fields and polluted rivers. She can’t even listen to the radio without some new story about deadly attacks and a dying climate. Amalia struggles, tries, fails… and eventually, she cracks.

Limited Edition (2018)

Script by Aude Picault - Art by Aude Picault. Claire is a thirtysomething neonatal nurse who is becoming increasingly discouraged about her prospects of getting into a long-term relationship and starting a family. She thinks she may have finally met her man in Franck—if not a Prince Charming then at least a friendly and compatible person—but societal pressures and gender norms seem to rear their heads at every turn and Claire begins to wonder if it will ever be possible for her to be happy with another person on her own terms. Aude Picault’s chronicle of everyday romance is full of wit and sympathy but it is also backed up by a bibliography of feminist essays and studies of gender relations, offering a valuable and complicated case study of the challenges facing modern women.
