Saturday and Sunday

Saturday and Sunday are a pair of lizards living the good life, lazing around on a tropical atoll and fishing off the beach. But when Saturday comes down with a case of acute questionitis, the big mysteries - why are we here? how did we get here? - won't leave him alone. Only travel can cure his ills, and he sets off with Sunday in tow. What's a best friend to do but tag along? Together, the indefatigable duo have encounters both fanciful and philosophical in this charming and freewheeling paean to simple joys, curiosity, and friendship, fit for all ages. Script by Fabien Vehlmann - Art by Gwen de Bonneval.

Last of the Atlases

Birds wasting away in a national park, refusing to migrate. Identical geometric markings on the wings of completely different insect species. A pillar of dust in the desert. A small-time hood travels to India's shipbreaking yards in search of a giant nuclear-powered construction robot. A big-time crime boss makes a killing off the Algerian Revolution, in a world where it happened fifteen years later than in our own. "A good story," insists reporter Françoise Halfort, visited abruptly by a post-menopausal pregnancy, "is one that draws unexpected connections between seemingly unconnected events." Four star creators join talents on a vast canvas that takes in the entire French 20th century. Script by Fabien Vehlmann, Gwen de Bonneval - Art by Hervé Tanquerelle, Frédéric Blanchard.

IAN

Intelligent Artificial Neuromechanoid... Ian. It's the name of the newest recruit in Team 21 of the SRS – the 'Special Rescue Section.'

The Marquis of Anaon

The Marquis of Anaon is a series of French comic history. It is based on the legend of the Marquis of Anaon, tells People of xviii century. Scenario: Fabien Vehlmann. Drawings: Matthieu Bonhomme. Colours: Delf. 
In the 1720s, Jean-Baptiste Poulain, son of a merchant and former medical student, travels to countries where mysterious phenomena have been observed or where inexplicable crimes were committed both to enrich his scientific knowledge to come assistance to victims of events that seem supernatural. Spirit Cartesian and rational, it must cope with living in remote regions where reigns the obscurantism and where crisis situations often result in the persecution of groups living on the margins of the community. Relations with the aristocrats are not simpler than the common people, each part of the social body obeying its own prejudices. Like the Wind Passengers, the series of Marquis Anaon recreates the past without betraying the complexity, presenting the reader with the adventures of a character slightly ahead mentality of his time. Following his first adventure, the farmers of the island of Brac gave Jean-Baptiste Poulain the nickname "marquis Anaon", ie lord of lost souls. The dialogues are interspersed with a few anachronisms, such as when the Countess de Almedia, the third album, speaks of "nations" about France and Spain of the early xviii th century; gold this concept will make sense in Europe after 1789.
