The Lions of Leningrad

On January 27, 1962, a concert at the Maly Theatre in Leningrad is interrupted by a gunshot and an ex-state prisoner is arrested. At the police station, the mysterious gunman recalls the early summer of 1941... When the German army begins its invasion of Soviet Russia, four children are evacuated to the countryside: Maxim, the son of a senior Communist Party official; Pyotr, the son of writers; Anka, the daughter of a concert violinist; and Grigory, the son of a pilot that was executed for insubordination. The farm where they are staying is attacked and the train that is supposed to take them to safety is blown to bits by German planes. The four children must find their way back to Leningrad through enemy lines. This adventure will test their friendship to the limit... Created by Thomas Du Caju, Jean-Claude Van Rijckeghem.

Pussycat (2016)

From comics master Peyo (The Smurfs) comes Pussycat, a lovable, mischievous tuxedo cat who spends his time chasing after milk and snacks and framing other members of his family for his shenanigans. This cat isn't exactly the noble hunting type; he'd rather play a game of kickball with the resident mouse than chase after him. Warning, our hero Poussy is a real (somwhat mischievious) cat. He does not speak (he just meows) and his main passions in life are eating, hunting mice, avoiding dogs and meowing at night. And you'll be surprised at the lengths he goes to in order to indulge his passions! Originally published in Spirou magazine in France, this is a delightful collection of comics that can be enjoyed by all-ages.
