In the near future, the Earth has become a very different place. An unknown disaster has upended our way of life: cars sit rusting where they stopped, cities have been reduced to no man's lands, and invertebrates have mutated into giant, deadly beasts. Faced with the threat of these roaming monsters, humanity's hopes lie with the Sauroktones, small bands of warriors who risk their lives to fight these creatures. Amid it all, three youths are thrown together by circumstance, and will go to great lengths to stay united, help each other, and make their way through the strange, futuro-medieval landscape of a ravaged world.
This collection reprints five issues of Alec Longstreth's minicomic Phase 7 in their entirety: #012 is a stick figure science fiction story about a college and the barcode system it uses to keep track of its students. #013 reprints a comics essay in which the idea of everyday art is explored throughout art history. #014 is a facsimile of the sketchbook that Longstreth took on his first trip to Europe, for the 2009 Angoulême comics festival in France. It includes an account of his trip and many observational drawings created while traveling. #015 and #016 are comprised of selections from Longstreth's many sketchbooks, starting in 1995 and working up to 2008. Various quick drawings and loose diary comics reveal the cartoonist's struggles with relationships, employment, education and his future. All of these issues were released while Longstreth was focused on drawing his graphic novel Basewood, hence the title "B-Sides."

'Paris is the greatest temple ever built to material joys and the lust of the eyes.' Paris. It has been immortalised a thousand times over in the pages of books, on timeless canvases and in countless songs. For centuries the city's undeniable magic and certain je ne sais quoi have been objects of fascination, dictating our cultural and culinary tastes. It has been home to and a perennial source of inspiration for some of the world's greatest thinkers, writers, artists and designers - so how do you capture the essence of such an enchanting city? In this stunning collection of imagined covers, a tribute to the famous cover art of the New Yorker, over one hundred French illustrators pay homage to the remarkable City of Lights that for centuries has captured our collective imaginations. Each exquisitely realised cover celebrates a different aspect of Paris, featuring subjects as diverse as protesters, Japanese tourists, pigeons and beautiful women. The Parisianer is a must-have for every admirer of this most romantic and unforgettable city, and for anyone who wants to fall in love with it all over again.

Daniel Blanquette è un fumettista di mezza età con un paio di libri all'attivo. A differenza di tutta la gente con cui ha studiato, non è un autore di successo. Vorrebbe arrendersi a una vita di quieta disperazione, ma una notizia lo costringe a fare i conti con se stesso: nella sua vecchia scuola si terrà una mostra in onore di tutti gli ex studenti diventati fumettisti. Una bella occasione per lanciare il suo nuovo libro, come gli ha fatto notare - con una certa apprensione - il suo editore. E magari anche per riallacciare i rapporti con gli amici che ce l'hanno fatta. C'è solo un problema: Daniel non è stato invitato. cosa può fare? Non è abbastanza famoso per fregarsene ed è tro...
Der französische Ehrengastauftritt auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2017 rückte statt der Literatur Frankreichs die französische Sprache in den Fokus, und erklärte, "ein internationales Schaufenster der Literatur in französischer Sprache in ihrer größten Vielfalt" sein zu wollen. Die Studie setzt sich mit dem Konzept der Bibliodiversität - kultureller Vielfalt bezogen auf das Buchwesen - und seiner Bedeutung im Kontext von Francfort en francais auseinander. Sie klärt, wie Bibliodiversität bei der Umsetzung des Auftritts berücksichtigt wurde, und untersucht dessen Folgen für die Akteur:innen in den beteiligten frankophonen und deutschsprachigen literarischen Feldern, sowie für die Diversität von Übersetzungen aus dem Französischen auf dem deutschsprachigen Buchmarkt. Die Studie stellt eine der wenigen bisher existierenden, umfassenden und empirischen Untersuchungen zur Bibliodiversität dar.
