Prometheus

A series of global events, totally unexplained, tripped and fell on the planet every day at 1:13 p.m. accurate minutes. What is its origin? These Prometheus comics were created by the team such as Christophe Bec, Francisco Ruizgé, Federico Carlo Ferniani, Vax,  Frédéric Peynet, Thierry Démarez, Stefano Raffaele.
13 h 13 min-21 September 2019: The shuttle Atlantis mysteriously disappears from the monitors on his last flight. 13 h 13 min-22 September 2019: All watches and clocks in the world stop. Meanwhile, the Antikythera mechanism, a strange astrolabe dating from ancient Greece starts then no scientist had succeeded in triggering far. 13 h 13 min-23 September 2019: The shuttle Atlantis returns and lands at Cape Canaveral, a survivor on board the commander of the mission, in shock amid the mangled remains of the crew dead. 13 h 13 min-24 September 2019: A US nuclear submarine sonar picks up the echo of a U-boat of the German Army lost sixty-eight years earlier. A trawler see him appear before the monumental hull Titanic, disappeared at the same location, 650 km southeast of Newfoundland. As everywhere, planes crash and that the Apocalypse descends on the entire planet, the future of humanity suddenly appears in darkness, presaging the worst for our civilization. 
A rain of aircraft has descended to Earth. Indeed, all who were in flight at 13:13 have, without exception, crushed! The media then logically devote their antenna to this phenomenon, which paralyzes the entire world population. The estimated number of victims is astronomical ... The time has suggestions, among them coexist two assumptions. One will be made public. Unveiled by some Barnes, she mentioned the Blue Beam Project, a project led by NASA that would seek to impose a new global theocracy. The other, referred only in high places would be on a possible and imminent alien invasion led by creatures which had life although you knew for decades ... The two hypotheses were also not related? The Earth was certainly the scene of extraordinary events more frequent and some "privileged" had even crossed paths with unknown aircraft which had confirmed the assumptions of one or the other.

Knockout Magazine

This magazine started 4th Mar 1939, ended 16th Feb 1963. Merged with Magnet 1941, became Knockout and Magnet until 1945, then just Knockout again. Merged with Valiant. The first, published by the Amalgamated Press (later Fleetway Publications), was launched by editor Percy Clarke and sub-editor Leonard Matthews in 1939 to compete with The Dandy and The Beano, launched by DC Thomson in 1937 and 1938 respectively. Like its rivals, it featured a mixture of humour and adventure strips and illustrated prose stories. Matthews recruited Hugh McNeill, a former Beano artist, as the title’s main humour artist, and his strips “Our Ernie” and “Deed-a-Day Danny” were very popular. 
Two characters were imported from the prose story papers – Billy Bunter, formerly of The Magnet, initially drawn by C. H. Chapman, later by Frank Minnitt, and Sexton Blake, initially drawn by Jos Walker, later by Alfred Taylor, Roland Davies and definitive Blake illustrator Eric Parker. Also Jerry Spring (Jije) renamed into Slade, Spirou and Fantasio renamed into Dickie and Birdbath. After the Second World War the title featured more adventure strips, and Matthews, who was promoted to editor in 1948, recruited artists including Sep E. Scott, H. M. Brock, D. C. Eyles and Geoff Campion to draw them. The title lasted 1251 issues, from (cover dates) 4 March 1939 to 16 February 1963, absorbing The Magnet in 1940 and Comic Cuts in 1953, before being merged into Valiant. The second ran from (issues dates) 12 June 1971 to 23 June 1973, when it merged with Whizzer and Chips.

Mister Rectitude and Génial Olivier

Génial Olivier (Brilliant Olivier) is a humorous Belgian comic series about a child prodigy. Written and drawn by Jacques Devos, it first appeared in Spirou magazine in 1963 and lasted a quarter of a century, ending with Devos' retirement in 1988. The series consisted mainly of one-page gags and short stories which covered several pages. There were few full-length adventures. The strip was also notable for the puns and jokes in the text. Olivier's adventures have not been published in English. Below is a list of the French book titles and their year of publication. Most of them are collections of one-page gags and short stories. Almost all the stories were written and drawn by Jacques Devos, with one being credited to Frédéric Jannin. When the stories appeared in Spirou they were titled Génial Olivier, but the name was changed to M. Rectitude et Génial Olivier when published in book form.
Olivier Delabranche (i.e. Olive Branch) is a scientific genius well ahead of his time and his own age. Super-computers, various types of transport, robots, lifelike holograms, even the elixir of youth, he has invented the lot and more. Be it chemistry or technology, science holds few secrets from him. He qualifies for a dozen Nobel Prizes in those subjects and he is not yet a teenager ! Olivier is in fact a little boy of about 10. Unfortunately, the efforts of this child prodigy go largely unappreciated by the adult world, including parents and teachers. Whereas he should perhaps be in an advanced school where his talents would be developed (as if they needed to be) or even a top university, Olivier is in fact still stuck in a normal, everyday primary school. The reason for this is that, science apart, in all other respects he is a dunce. In history, geography, spelling and grammar, Olivier is at the bottom of the class and the despair of his teacher, Mister Rectitude
