on him or when Hugo steals his lunch. Most of all, Titeuf is trying to
understand the world of the grown-ups. What does being in love
feel like? Why do people go out together? And by the way when
two people go out together, where do they go?

MILO MANARA
Milo Manara was born in Italy in 1945. Equally at ease as an illustrator or as a writer he has become one of the
world’s greatest erotic comic artists. Amoung his many notable works are Décaméron de Boccace (1974),
Giuseppe Bergman (1978), Le Déclic (1983), Le Parfum de l'Invisible (1985). Manara ‘s genius as an illustrator can
be seen in L'Art de la Fessée first published in 1988 and La Modèle, re-released in 2010.
In 2004, he published his first volume of the sultry series Borgia, written by the illustrious Jodorowsky. Manara
developed his style of color art in order to paint the flesh and blood of Italy in the fifteenth century. The series
which was completed in 2010 was a triumph.
Early 2013 will welcome the first volume of his next series: Caravaggio.

in the late Middle Ages. Their story and the violence, lust, manipulation and conspiracy they brought to Vatican form
the basis of this historical epic.

Girls are different yet in some ways very much the same. Nine Antico’s short reflections on moments in the lives of

group of young girls in the prime of their youth. Amid acts of futility, they often indulge in a melancholy laziness which
gives them a tiny air of seriousness in their overwhelming aura of frivolousness.

LIBERATORE
Tanino Liberatore was born in Italy in 1953. In the early 80s Liberatore designed posters, magazines and album covers for major
clients such as illustrating the album cover for Frank Zappa’s, The Man from Utopia. He also designed stage sets and computergenerated avatars for theater and French and Italian television. In 1981 the first episode of Ranxerox was published which is by far
his most famous creations. Liberatore is now known worldwide for its hyper-realistic style, and his virtuosity in drawing women
and nudes. His unusual sense of aesthetics, his mastery of form and proportions as well as his taste for disruptive backgrounds make
him one of the most emblematic authors of his generation. Liberatore has lived and worked in France since 1982.
RANX
ARTWORK: LIBERATORE / WRITER: TAMBURINI & CHABAT
Format: 18 x 24 cm • one-shot
Ranxerox is a giant in a world of brutes, a robot in a human world. Since an unfortunate short circuit, he has been
victim to simulated feelings of love for a miserable little drug addicted pest, Lubna. In attempt to make her happy
Ranxerox will do anything from mass murder to performing live in a music hall. Ranxerox is afraid of nothing and
certainly not of being ridicule. Ranxerox is a parody of the modern world, its demise through consumerism, and
egotistical tendencies. It is a big dose of provocation and a great release.

LIBERATORE
one-shot
During his nearly forty-years of illustrating, Liberatore created many short stories. Until this edition they had never been
put together in one volume. This album will include not only all of his early creations published in Italy in the late 70s, but
also new never before seen illustrations. This collection also features themes favored by Liberatore: ultra-violence, hyperrealism, anti-political correctness and intense eroticism. Each of these stories is dark, cynical and nearly overly absurd...

Everyone has heard of d’Artagnan captain of the three musketeers, his heroic adventures, his honour and bravery, his
unfailing friendship with his associates Athos, Portos and Aramis… But does this quasi mythical image actually
correspond to the character created by Alexandre Dumas? In this adaptation the author goes beyond the surface
and legends and deep into the psychology of each character.
‘‘C’est par son courage,
entendez-vous bien !
Par son courage seul,
qu’un gentilhomme fait
son chemin aujourd’hui.

Ne craignez pas les occasions
et cherchez les aventures.
Battez-vous à tout propos.
D’autant plus que les duels sont
défendus et que, par conséquent,
tut-tut-tut-tut-tut...
Il y a deux fois du
courage à se battre.
Soutenez dignement votre nom de gentilhomme, porté
dignement par vos ancêtres depuis plus de cinq cents ans :
Dehors,
péquenot !
par quel étrange phénomène
de si beaux sires peuvent-ils
se retrouver l’épée au clair
quand ça leur est interdit ?
