Wars (2020)

by Giampiero Casertano  (Author, Artist). Wars is an evocative triptych of stories from the otherworldly side of warfare in the 1980s. "The Dead City" is set in Afghanistan in 1985. A company of Soviet soldiers find themselves confronting an ancient power more powerful than any insurgent force. "Punyayama!" revisits Great Britian's short battle for the Falklands Islands, off the coast of Argentina in 1982. A young lieutenant discovers that there are greater evils than the enemy on the field of battle. "The Intruder" follows the US invasion of Grenada in 1983. A sergeant's treachery against a colleague comes back to haunt him face to face, and he's left to ponder the consequences of his actions for all time.

In Vitro (2020)

by William Roy  (Author). Guillaume and Emma are newlyweds. Their life together is full of love and happiness, and they have everything they’ve always wanted… well, almost everything. From unsuccessful attempts to repeated failures, the two newlyweds face a menacing foe: sterility. Together, they embark on the confusing journey that is in vitro fertilization. Guillaume experiences the daily embarrassment of sperm donations, tests with dreaded results and endless consultations. With self-effacing charm, William Roy humbly shares a deeply human experience that is propelled by unshakable hope.

Alas (2018)

Script by Hervé Bourhis - Art by Rudy Spiessert. When a young girl is captured in the forest and brought to the city, only to escape shortly afterwards, all manner of individuals and organizations try to get their hands on her, no matter the cost. In a chilling and clever tour de force, the authors use the backdrop of the 1910 Great Flood of Paris to depict a world where animals rule and humans are viewed as curiosities, scientific guinea pigs, hunting trophies, and the occasional snack. A political satire that forces us to question our treatment of different species, the nature of intelligence, and more.

Hedy Lamarr - An Incredible Life (2018)

William Roy & Sylvain Dorange. “Hollywood icon by day, unsung science genius by night.” From her native Austria to the limelight of Hollywood, Hedy Lamarr was constantly bombarded with societal limitations and personal obstacles—including her own beauty. Only through courage, ambition, and intellect would she rise to become both a cultural icon and an unparalleled inventor whose creations would alter the course of history. Creators William Roy and Sylvain Dorange use the graphic novel medium to recount the biography of a genius inventor who happened to be “The Most Beautiful Woman in the World”. 

Love Song (2018)

Like the best rock n’ roll bands, Love Song is four parts that harmonize the muddy and messy chords of life into a breathtaking resolution. United by a shared love of music, this collection of four “albums” is composed of a series of short stories, each running into the next like best cuts from your favorite records. And like a classic album, Love Song gets the joy and humor out of the way up front, letting the story wind its way into the dark and serious corners of adult life. Alternating between loud and quiet or hard and soft, this story will sink its hook into readers like a jingle or riff that just won’t be easily forgotten.
