PRISONER OF THE STARS by Alfonso Font
In this environmentally aware age, there are those who predict the destruction of our
planet if we do not amend our ways. Can mankind survive its own arrogance?
Alfonso Font paints a futuristic image of what may be in store for humanity: a planet
condemned by a scorching sun, where people live in overpopulated cities below the
surface. Only the disinherited “outsiders” are forced to survive on the inhospitable
surface. It is here that a beautiful woman, full of life, joins forces with an escaped
rebel in a desperate attempt to reach salvation in “the city of domes.”
This duo will be exposed to the dark side of human nature. But they’ll also witness
the heights of humanity, personified by rebels who aspire for a better, more just world;
and who if need be, will give up their lives for it.

$'&!!+ TALES OF AN IMPERFECT FUTURE by Alfonso Font
These science fiction tales, as told by an extraterrestrial, warn of the dangers that
await us as human beings if we continue to behave as stupidly and selfishly as we
have done up until now. Our actions have put the entire universe in danger. But as
the alien shows us fragments of the future, we might still be able to prevent these
worst case scenarios:
Earth so polluted, that life on its surface is almost impossible; the human race
continuing its destructive and fatal expedition into the galaxy to colonize other
planets; inferior human beings being killed for their organs for transplanting to
superior ones; humans using robots as companions, though these robots lack the
ability to think and feel, which, ironically, may be the only thing that prevents us
from our predicted horrible future.

THE NURSE by Zalozabal
Theresa is a nurse hired to accompany young, wheelchair-bound Toby to a controversial
clinic in Transnistria. It’s the only medical institution in the world that can offer Toby
hope that he will one day walk again. They use radical experimental treatments.
Sometimes their results are miraculous; other times, tragic.
Once at the clinic, Theresa quickly becomes aware of just how “radical” their treatments
are. She then meets a Frenchman, who says: “You’ve got to help me. I broke my arm just
so they would admit me to the clinic. I came to save my son from that evil... nurse!”
Theresa wants to help, but soon realizes she is a prisoner here. Now she must get Toby
out of this terrible place!

THE WEDNESDAY CONSPIRACY by Sergio Bleda
Written and drawn by Spain’s acclaimed Sergio Bleda, this action-packed series is
about a group of young people, who meet every Wednesday. These sessions are very
similar to AA meetings. However, no one here is fighting an addiction. They all have
paranormal abilities and are trying to learn how to live with them.
Brian is a pyrokinetic. He can start a fire from a distance. The fact that he cannot
keep his ability under control understandably causes huge problems for him and those
around him.
Roger is a paragnostic who can’t help reading other people’s minds, which is
driving him nuts. Everyone in this group has a unique problem that is ruining his
or her everyday life. But none of this prepares them for the secret society known as
“Encrucijada,” which resurfaces and threatens to destroy them all.
VIDEO NOIRE by Carlos Trillo & Eduardo Risso
Seedy private eye Evan Gelin is hideously murdered in his office after taking tawdry,
career-threatening photos of Miss Dready, the beautiful host of a popular children’s
show. When Gelin’s associate J.C. Benedict searches for the answers behind his
friend’s killing, he is drawn into a netherworld he never imagined existed and
discovers truths he wishes he had never found. Indeed, it turns out that Miss Dready
is no less than an emissary from Hell infiltrating children’s minds for her sinister
purposes, and that the fate of the entire humanity lies in Benedict’s hands!
A taut, hard-edged journey into violent passions, forbidden obsessions…and an
ancient battle between Good and Evil.

BLOODY WINTER by Sergio Bleda
On the day of his mother’s untimely funeral, Ralph, a wheelchair-bound child, is
abducted. Twenty years later he returns and is now linked to Norton Gable -- a heartless drug-traf¿cking monster. What’s their connection? That’s what tough F.B.I.
agent Michelle Pollock wants to know after the strangely quiet Ralph tells her where
to ¿nd a serial child killer’s latest victim. As Agent Pollock gets sucked further and
further into Ralph and Norton Gable’s twisted world, she encounters deception,
betrayal and violence -- the likes of which she’s never known. Dark, gritty and relentless, Sergio Bleda’s “Bloody Winter” is frighteningly compelling as it creates a
world where good doesn’t always conquer evil.

TAXI by Alfonso Font
Beautiful, fearless, resourceful and talented. That’s Taxi. One night, a man named
Nelson rescues her from an attack… and changes her life. He works for a news
agency called Control Press, and “recruits” Taxi for his investigative team.
In “The Dragon’s Labyrinth,” a rampant disease is killing only black people. Taxi
risks her life to expose the sinister plot behind this “Black Death.” In “A Cruise to
Hell,” things heat up as Taxi finds herself in the middle of an international crisis
involving Israelis, Palestinians, arms dealers and lethal quantities of Plutonium.
This time Taxi may be in way over her head. In “The Devil’s Trench,” an
informant supplies Taxi and her cohorts with details to crimes before they happen.
Taking on drug lords, assassins and corrupt police, Taxi needs eyes in the back of
her head if she wants to survive this escapade.

BARCELONA AT DAWN by Juan Antonio de Blas & Alfonso Font
The year is 1923. On a hot summer night, four corpses wash up at the port of
Barcelona. When Journalist Pere Marsé investigates these murders he is shocked
to discover that one of the victims is in fact a German policeman. As he digs even
deeper, Marsé soon realizes this is only the tip of what turns out to be an intricate
plot of both criminal and political intrigue. As each layer of the onion is peeled
away, more questions than answers come to the surface. Anarchists, local police,
German nationals, French Secret Service and Military leaders all play their parts.
This fascinating book -- based on real circumstances and characters -- recounts
events that happened in Barcelona in the early 1920s. These events were a direct
reason why Hitler failed with his attempted coup in Munich on November 8, 1923.

SPAGHETTI BROTHERS by Trillo & Mandrafina
In 1910, en route to America, an Italian woman dies giving birth to her fifth
child. Now orphans, the Centobucchi siblings face a new world without parents.
The oldest, Amerigo, grows up to be a cruel gangster whose only love is his
dead mother. Carmela becomes the lover of a Jewish gangster. Frank becomes
a catholic priest. Gypsy, a one-time porno actress, becomes a famous legitimate
actress of the silent movie era. And Tony, the youngest, becomes a police officer.
Blaming Tony for their mother’s death, Amerigo wants to kill his younger brother.
Tony, meanwhile, is in love with Amerigo´s wife. Carmela becomes a killer for her
mobster boyfriend. Gypsy becomes a drunk. And Frank, the priest, tries to beat the
word of the Lord into Amerigo’s head with his cross. We span sixty years of this
dysfunctional, yet compelling family.
JON ROHNER by Alfonso Font
The end of the19th century, the twilight of sailing ships, and the picturesque
islands of the South Pacific, are the setting for these history-laced adventures.
Jon Rohner, a likeable sailor who lives on the edge of the law, tells his stories to
Robert Louis Stevenson -- the famed author of such classics as Treasure Island and
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde -- who has settled on the Samoa islands and befriended
Rohner. Through Rohner’s stories we are taken into a world full of excitement,
action and drama: from his kidnapping a princess to prevent a war between two
tribes; to a story about a man who fell in love with a cannibal queen, left his
family and got tattooed over his whole body and face; to Rohner’s surviving a
tsunami and volcano eruption. The stories -- Rohner’s adventures -- are seemingly
in endless supply.

NEFERU, THE CAT by Carlos Trillo & Pedro Penizzotto
Danger is afoot! Piñòn, the evil, slobbering dog has moved in on Neferu the
Cat’s territory, hypnotizing his slave and mesmerizing Neferu’s mascot. Only the
intervention of the Goddess Bastet and the Great Cat God Tefnut can save the
world from certain canine domination. At least that’s how the world looks through
the eyes of a cat in Carlos Trillo and Pedro Penizzotto’s tale.
Neferu lives with his human mascot, Alex, in an apartment building in the city.
When Alex becomes romantically involved with a neighborhood dog owner,
Neferu’s life is thrown into turmoil. Neferu’s rough and tumble existence is
grounded in the reality of the city: danger lurks everywhere, adventure fills the
streets and cats rule the rooftops. Along with his fellow cat friends, Neferu has to
find a way to save the feline way of life.
NIRVANA by Roberto Totaro
Are everyday problems weighing you down? Is anxiety threatening to eat you up?
A wise man, a teacher, is now available around the clock for advice on how to
reach… NIRVANA.
Totaro’s jokes probably don’t lead to divine illumination but are certainly the
shortest route to restoring the spirit with the sound of laughter. A wise old teacher
moves to an isolated rock to lead a life of meditation, but is constantly disturbed
by all sorts of annoying disciples: a poet who lacks creativity, a rejected child, an
inventor, a salesman… all severely try the teacher’s mystical convictions and his
patience. The whole of Western civilization seems to pass before the teacher’s
remote perch, much to his chagrin, and much to our amusement.

and lovable, that you cannot resist wanting to read more and more of his jungle
gags. And SAF has more than 120 comic pages ready for publication in magazines

TWO WHITE WIZARDS by Andres Ponce & Dario Brizuela
Miza and Vester are two wizard novices, anxious to learn the secret spells that
will allow them to turn into a “White Wizard,” just like their father, the great
Drazen.
While Drazen is away, his young, restless novices accidentally uncover the famous
Black Diamond, in which, according to legend, their father entombed his enemy,
the evil force of “Blackness.” Through their carelessness, Miza and Vester break
the magic container and set the Evil free.
With their father gone, this inexperienced duo must take care of this situation
alone - a very scary thought, indeed!
Z. X. WILBUR by Peni
Z.X. Wilbur is an alien boy from another planet, where children must attend an elementary school in some other galaxy, with children from other worlds. Luckily he
chose our planet. Why, out of millions of planets did he choose Earth? Well, to get
to know Earthlings and study their amazing culture, of course. But mostly because
of French fries and fried eggs that cannot be found anywhere else in the universe.
Wilbur amazes his school pals on Earth every day with his unique skills. While
other kids have a hard time carrying their heavy bags full of books, Z.X. has his
bag Ày to school. When kids play soccer and make him goal keeper, Z.X. protects
his goal with an invisible shield, so that nobody can score. He is the most fun alien
you will ever meet.
