Front Lines

Front Lines is as a new series concept (close to publications) dedicated - commemorative year oblige - the Second World War. This inaugural episode is divided into two parts of equal size. In the first half, screenwriter Jean-Pierre Pécau presents and implements the six players who will experience adventures moult over the four volumes announced. 

Four athletes, a journalist, a Communist: we will follow their acts of bravery, their friendships and their love throughout the Second World War. The second part proposes to follow one of them, Emile Berger, alias Snowy, who throne cover with a false air of Sylvester Stalone, while his personality "slinger big heart" actually confuses more willingly with that of Lino Ventura. It falls to about a nice editorial blunder: his name Berger throughout the album, but Soubise in 4th cover. This second sequence is interested in the first weeks of war, focusing on the commitment of the cyclist on a tank in the town of Stonne Ardennes, where the fighting is. Good news without losing his scholarship, Pécau is more fluid than ever narratively. The design of this first volume has meanwhile been given to Serbian illustrator, Brada, for realistic graphic score serious though impersonal, near Kordey style, to reassure fans Pécau. Hopefully the designer Benoît Dellac manage to restore the features - and therefore the psychology of six characters - to ensure continuity in the second part, already released in early June 2014.

The Secret History

The Secret History is a series of French comic derivative from the Arcane series , also published by Delcourt. 32 volumes are planned. Authors: Script by: Jean-Pierre Pécau. Drawings: Igor Kordey (Volumes 1, 2 and 6-32), Goran Sudzuka and Geto (Volume 3), Leo Pilipovic (volumes 4 and 5)

Colours: Carole Beau (volumes 1 to 7), Isabelle Rabarot (volumes 3 and 6), Fabrys (volumes 5 and 7), Chris Chucky (volumes 8-11), Leonard O'Grady (volumes 12-32). 

The scenario offers a rereading of the history of humanity in the light of the theory of a "magical plot" in which four and five magicians (also called archons) sometimes clash and sometimes share control of 'humanity. Since prehistory, they hatched in the shadows to guide decisions of great historical figures who are, quite often, their puppets. The principle at the base of their magic is "retro-synchronicity", thanks to which they can, with inspired cards tarot (arcana), see the possibilities of the immediate or distant future and influence to more favorable probabilities according to their interests of the moment. The scope of the vision and the shift depends on the power and talent of the manipulator, but wilts over time. These 'passes' allow them to change the course of events and illuminate new light on several authentic episodes of history, which are still poorly explained today: the ten plagues of Egypt, the Holy Grail, the many Win Napoleon, the great fire of London, the meteoric rise of Nazism, etc. This database is the start of a scenario of some complexity. Nothing is simple, and the information given to readers in dribs and drabs. The series, created retrospectively, leads to two other series (Arcana and Major Arcana) exploiting the events of recent history.

D-Day

This epic comic was created by Jean-Pierre Pecau, Fred Duval and Fred Blanchard. Published by Delcourt.

THE CONCEPT

What if history had taken a different course than the one we know? What if the Russians had succeeded in landing on the moon before the Americans? What if the epicentre of the cold war had been Paris, and not Berlin? What if the assassination in Dallas had happened in 1973, and not in 1963? What if the Germans had won the First World War? What if imagination had taken power in May 68? What if the anarchists had overthrown Tsar Nicolas II in 1917? All these stories, based on historical facts and realistic assumptions allow us to discover the consequences of one day where everything changes: D-DAY.
