Bouncer (repost)

Bouncer is a series of comics written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and designed by François Boucq. The first seven volumes were published by Associates Humanoïdes between 2001 and 2009, Glénat taking over from 2012.
The bouncer is a one-armed man that deals with safety saloon at the Infernio. Despite his disability, he is a formidable marksman. When his nephew, an orphaned, asks his help, this leads him to reconnect with a painful past. His two brothers and him are the bastard children of an itinerant prostitute, with whom they committed many misdeeds. The latter led to the breakup of the family in fighting over a diamond, one was left blind, one-armed and mother committed suicide. Since the elder became pastor, the bouncer found protection from El Diablo, his mysterious employer, and the third remained outside-the-law. The tribulations of the bouncer will lead him to elucidate the series of murders of notables of the city, all killed by a snake bite.

Non Album Collection 95

The Horrible Weapon and other stories

Collection of 4 short SCI-FI stories by Don Lawrence, author of Storm, Trigan Empire...Scanlated from Dutch, originally published in 1993.

Face de Lune vol 01

In 1992, Face de Lune began with the invisible cathedral. A series as only Alexandro Jodorowsky has the secret. A complex universe dominated by oppressive and omnipresent politico-religious powers. A dense story, with multiple ramifications. His collaboration with the gifted François Boucq is the icing on the cake. Whatever the scene, his drawing does not seem to know limits and when you know the imagination overflowing Jodorowsky, we can only say that they are well! In short, a first volume promising, quickly more!

The Daring Brigade (Romania)

(Brigada indraznetilor) The band with Beatlesi as welders (with guitar with everything!), Brigadier bosses that bring Iusuf (from the rookies of Michael the Brave) and a beautiful girl, like ... "Meeting in space"? The subject, clearly, dictated by the dark times. After the heavy winter of '84 began the darkest phase of communism in Romania: current breaks, TV program 2 hours a day, naked food and so on.

The Keeper

Up until now, Vince’s job has been to ensure the safety of the art dealers who work for the Vatican. But now the young man is offered a curious ‘promotion’: If he succeeds on his next mission, Vince will join the ‘Keepers’ — a very special, and very secret, branch of the Vatican’s secret service. Their job is to bring the Pontifical State’s strayed black sheep back into the fold… and, if all else fails, to put them conveniently out of the way, for ever and ever amen. A comic by François Boucq and Yves Sente.
