Scattered Pages (Europe Comics 2022)
All Max wants to do with his life is make comics, and all his parents do is discourage him. His life takes a turn for the hopeful when a mysterious recluse, a Parisian comics veteran, buys a ruined chateau in the woods near Max’s house. His appearance is echoed by the arrival of a mysterious peddler with a printing press in the medieval village of Max’s comic, in which a monk is busily spinning a tale of Max’s daughter Suzie, all grown up and an illustrator in her own right. Tales nest in tales in Alexandre Clérisse’s dizzyingly intricate musing on creation.

Bobika is a man who has been practicing birth control since 2016.

They’ll also cross paths with a rich transhumanist industrialist who wants to influence the text… After their previous collaboration on “Extinctions,” Alexandre Franc and Jean-Baptiste de Panafieu enlighten and entertain once again!
