It’s the summer of all dangers, Spirou goes to the front as well
Emile Bravo completes the cycle of the resilient groom Spirou in the middle of World War II, proof that the gravity of the bubbles. Brioche and tartine say otherwise.
Spirou’s masterpiece “Hope Despite Everything, Volume 4”
An absolute masterpiece, the saga in 4 albums written by Spirou when he wasn’t bellboy at the Majestic…
DR
cartoons With the fourth volume of “Hope in spite of everything”, Emile Bravo completes his large fresco about the young Spirou, which was published in 2018. The genius of the first albums completes his transformation in this story, which culminates in the liberation of Brussels by the Allies in 1944.
In the midst of a restless fauna, made up in part of 25th Hour resistance fighters, opportunists and cassock-clad whistleblowers, the former bellhop of the Moustic Hôtel loses his frankness and gradually becomes the character codified by Franquin. As the adults kill each other, the altruistic little redhead struggles to stay human.
On a total of 330 pages, Bravo shows with subtle nuances how a child emerges from multiple traumas. Masterpiece.PMU
Emile Bravo, an impressive storyteller at the height of his master Franquin.

Brioche and tartine, it eats no bread
Self-portrait of Violette Vaïsse, designer, painter, illustrator and inventor of the irresistible brioche and tartine.
DR
youth Summer is the season of unpunished nonsense. Brioche and Tartine, the two dog heroes of Violette Vaïsse, expert in jokes from the age of 6, demonstrate this through the absurd. This former pupil of the Saint-Luc school in Brussels emulates Tomi Ungerer Where Riyadh Sattouf, skims generations, humor, philosophy and sociology, unclassifiable like his puppies.
Violette Vaïsse in person, 33 years old and full of talents that express themselves in the most diverse departments!
DR
Slung maliciously over their shoulders, unceremoniously held on a leash, his schoolboys ask silly but existential questions: “How far does infinity go?” Less provocative than the author’s albums, the puppies – eight neurons altogether – have nothing to do Fear. Cornegidouille! So human and so dumb, these truffled bipeds establish complicity.KEY

A fun little book that will bring young and old together, woven from a joyful transgression.

Nick Hunt or Europe in Wonderland
Nick Hunt, wonderful storyteller of unexpected places in Europe

An impressive tour through Europe that carries its ecological message with humor or poetry in its backpack.
DR
notebooks After a first story in which Nick Hunt followed “the wild winds”, the journalist confirms himself as a writer by tracking down the smallest imagination generated by incongruous terrae incognitae. And still in Europe! So the British discovered a piece of tundra in Scotland, jungle in Belarus, steppes in Hungary and even a real desert in Spain.
Set in a Polish jungle, you have to tremble with him at the “Landscape of Fear” when invisible wolves lurk graceful deer. Or smile as the clumsy one risks ‘troskyizing’ themselves with a clumsy swing of an ice ax in Glen Derry’s ice. Funny in detail, serious in substance, Hunt, the beauty hunter and environmental activist, is raising awareness like never before.KEY

Roland Léléfan goes to the sea and he is not alone
Louise Mézel, a crazy talent for all generations.
DR
youth The shovel, the sand and the castles, any brat refreshed by swimming behind the ears will tell you it’s going for a while. Hence the pleasure of flipping through albums at the siesta between children, those who stayed and the others.
Roland goes to the beach like Martine once did.
DR
From 4 years. “Roland Lelefan” shows the example in simple boxes that rock to reach the delicious nothing where dreaming thoughts are stranded on the sea. Which bathing suit should I wear tomorrow, who to send a postcard to, what to pack in my suitcase? These are healthy concerns for the pachyderm not on his first adventure.
A beautiful trumpet poetry under the openness of Roland Léléfan.

But her look, let’s face it, boasts more modernity than the beachfront martines of yesteryear. It must be said that its creator, Louise Mézel, demonstrates a fascinating brushwork when it comes to animal portraiture. Check out his many “adult” works on his website, especially Dalmatians reeling with conviction… Such an elephant, don’t even imagine! (Louise Mézel, ed. The joy of reading)
One of Louise Mézel’s Dalmatians, showing her mastery of the smallest expressive nuances. A whole work that finds itself under the apparent simplicity of his friend Léléfan. The Dalmatians, says Louise Mézel, will soon have their album, chic!

From age 6. “A Bottle in the Ocean” encourage you not to swing your can when you leave the beach. Even if the paintings that frame this modern odyssey captivate with their almost cinematic force. And it takes talent to reframe freshly processed statistics: it takes 4 weeks for money to disappear, 6 months for a match, 5 years for a sock, 12 for a cigarette and… 5 centuries for a can. Gloops. The author of A Little Blue Fly and A Little Green Seed gets to the bottom of it. FYI, Mathias Friman served in the Republican Guard for many years. (Mathias Friman, ed. Seuil)
The author pulls his teeth out, former Republican Guard for the anecdote…

From age 6. “Behind the Rocks” uses sand as a material to draw the adventures of six children determined to explore. It all starts with a game of hide and seek that develops into a fantastic episode and doesn’t go through a hole like the little one Alice by Lewis Carroll, but through an abandoned bunker. Hidden beneath the seaweed, a kingdom survives ruled by a squid queen, hake-headed butlers, and other sea creatures worthy of Jules Verne. There is also a museum in the cave that keeps a lot of human garbage like valuable remains. Something with stories to tell throughout the summer. (Elodie Bouédec, ed. Seuil)
An original work that raises awareness of everyday actions that have been harmful for centuries …
