Otto Porfiri - Drama On the Cliff (Dark Horse - 2001)
Portly and good-natured, Otto Porfiri may not look the part of a hard-as-nails private eye, but don't be fooled. He may abhor violence, but when circumstances require a little mayhem, Porfiri rises to the occasion, in spades! As relentless as he is rotund, Porfiri is often drawn into the scandalous world of the decadent rich, a hidden landscape of sex, drugs, blackmail,...and murder! Created by Franco Saudelli, reknowned internationally for his intricate and often highly erotic work, Otto Porfiri: Drama on the Cliff is another eye-opening Venture graphic album, published in collaboration with Strip Art Features, and available for the first time in an English-language edition!
Dracula (Bram Stoker) (Georges Bess) - FRA
The brilliant cartoonist Georges Bess took it upon himself to create his own version of that myth here, keeping to the idea of portraying the soul of the novel as well as possible. Endowed with his well-known graphic virtuosity, he chooses the black and white technique for the panels of dark beauty to emphasize the strength of his lines and give them a breath of Gothic, quite unusual for him. His Dracula is a masterpiece that once again proves that Bess is undeniably one of the best cartoonists in contemporary comics.
Comment faire fortune en juin 40 - FRA
June 1940. France has been at war for ten months, and has just noticed it. After less than a week of "Blitzkrieg", the Nazis are at the gates of Paris. Since 1939, the Banque de France, no doubt anticipating a brilliant victory by the national army, has prudently evacuated all of its gold reserves far from the capital. In Paris, all the coffers are empty... Or almost. Two tons that an armored van must urgently transfer from Paris to Bordeaux. Except that Franck Popp and Ange Sambionetti have another plan for the piggy bank. Two tons of gold on the roads, in the middle of the ambient brothel, an accomplice in the van, two others outside with them. Let's go ! The five of them will rob the Banque de France.
