Angela (One Shot) (F) (2006)

Angela saw a carefree childhood. His life is suddenly upset when Jason, the former lover of his mother, reappears after twelve years of absence. He persuades her to join him with his daughter in order to exploit his mining concession. Faced with the absence of vein, it is discouragement. Their last hope, a particularly daring robbery. 

Wheel 01 - The Prophecy of Korot

The wheel is a hybrid with 80% fancy-dragons and 20% science fiction. Despite the undeniable power of the drawings, the marriage is not so happy. We lose ourselves in the meanders and jumps of an unstructured scenario, without bearer and especially without major theme. Such a style of narration could pass in the 70s with Luc Bradefer, but hardly passes 30 years later. 


Hermann - Africa (2007)

Dario Ferrer acts as guardian of a Tanzanian wildlife preserve. Accompanied by Charlotte, a naive European journalist, Ferrer discovers a village under fire from mysterious agents of the foreign-backed government.

The Children of Captain Grant (2016)

In this adaptation of the classic novel, the entire cast of characters has been transformed into anthropomorphic animal! It begins with a message-actually three water-damaged messages-found in a bottle removed from the belly of a shark. Written in three different languages the messages reveal that the long-missing Captain Grant was shipwrecked and is being held hostage. The only clue from the messages that might be of any help, will lead Lord Glenarvan and Captain Grant’s children on an adventure literally around the world!

The Fifth Gospel T01 - The Hand Of Fatima (2008)

Holy Land. XIIth century. Thirteen young Saracen children have disappeared. All the girls, at least 13 years old, orphaned and tattooed with a hand of Fatima on the forearm. The disappearances continue ... At this same time, troubled by incessant quarrels, Lord Milon de Plancy has just been savagely assassinated by four hooded men. This is only the beginning of a series of mysterious murders linked apparently to a codex whose revelations are likely to wreak Rome.

Shenzhen - A Travelogue from China (2006)

Shenzhen is entertainingly compact with Guy Delisle's observations of life in urban southern China, sealed off from the rest of the country by electric fences and armed guards. With a dry wit and a clean line, Delisle makes the most of his time spent in Asia overseeing outsourced production for a French animation company. He brings to life the quick pace of Shenzhen's crowded streets. By translating his fish-out-of-water experiences into accessible graphic novels, Delisle skillfully notes the differences between Western and Eastern cultures, while also conveying his compassion for the simple freedoms that escape his colleagues in the Communist state.
