Never Again T1 - Light City (2003)

To brighten the suffering of the condemned. This was the duty Angelely Lynch had assigned himself after witnessing the execution of his parents. This truth which is his, he will push it to the point of absurdity. Until he feels the ground shirking under his feet, moment from which he will let himself be won by total estrangement. Anchored in his new phobias, he wanders aimlessly when faced with what has become his worst nightmare. A click occurs. Meanwhile, on an island with idyllic appearances is hidden a penitentiary for women that does not seem to have legal existence. Which report ? None, until fate decides otherwise.

The Raven's Flight

Paris occupied, 18 June 1944. Denounced by an anonymous letter, Jeanne, a young resistant, has just been arrested by the French police. On the same day, François, an unscrupulous and somewhat cynical burglar, suffers the same fate and finds himself in the same cell of the same police station. Through an alert, Jeanne and Francis escape through the roofs. Henceforth, by the play of chance and necessity, the common fate of the two young men, whom everything separates, seems sealed. For better and for worse. The Raven's Flight. A comic by Jean-Pierre Gibrat.

The "Himalaya" itself underwent the German occupation. In fact, Rene's barge was requisitioned to transport equipment, and its inhabitants must endure the embarrassing presence of a soldier. Because of this, Jeanne can not leave her chain well without risking being arrested. While the boat and her little world leave Paris for the Yonnaise campaign, Francois will do everything to help the young woman get news of her sister. Decidedly Gibrat is a formidable storyteller. Even if the reprieve and the flight of the raven take place during the hectic period of the German occupation and deal with the struggle led by the resistance, do not expect to find an overwhelming action or fierce fighting.

Sojourn

The enthusiastic and unanimous reception of booksellers, the press and the public at the publication of Volume I, in October 1997, created a sort of event around the Sursis. The immediate success of this work carried by word-of-mouth demonstrates once again that one does not cheat with the readers. Jean-Pierre Gibrat, a writer and draftsman in one person, gave them the best of himself: a detailed description of a situation that is difficult to accept, a fluid narration that makes this situation credible, images whose strength and Quality reinforce this credibility. It is, in short, the result of an admirable and long work on the substance and form, the savory fruit of a profound sincerity of the author. 

In the small village of Cambeyrac, in Aveyron, the war occupies all the minds, but life does not stop for that: pastis on the terrace and part of bowls in front of the coffee, life could be harder without counting on the mobilization order, which sends all the young guys from the corner to the massacre, and the incursions of the German army into the streets of the village, which quickly reminded the population of a sad reality. Thus the thread of history takes place, between the obstinacy of some to ignore the conflict and the willingness of others to take an active part in it. The inhabitants of Cambeyrac are divided between those who await the arrival of the Allies with impatience and those who do not hide their sympathy for the cause of the occupier. Like a whole people and each one in their own way, all engage in a fratricidal struggle that sees the comrades of yesteryear fighting with arms in their hands. Sojourn.
