Frank Lincoln

Frank Lincoln is a private investigator, a real one. The largest private detective in the North. Special signs: his boots are muddy, he smokes the cigar and has a slight inclination for alcohol. He has been living alone with his daughter Jean since his wife Susan mysteriously disappeared five years ago. Since that day he has resigned from the police, created his private investigator’s office, and is searching for Susan desperately. In vain.
Billy Yupana, a young Eskimo barely major, is the greatest admirer of Lincoln. He is persuaded to be hired by the detective. But from his first investigation, the young man sets foot in a plot whose stakes overtake it.
Lincoln will do anything to get him out of this dirty story.

This series is a thriller as we like, which mixes with action and suspense skill by drawing inspiration from the codes of the film noir.

Libres ! Manifeste pour s’affranchir des diktats sexuels
(Free! Manifesto to get rid of sexual diktats)

Advertising, television, music videos, blogs, magazines, applications, sex has never been so ubiquitous in our cultural environment. We talk about it more and more, but do we really talk about it better?
Instead of imposing an umpteenth guide supposed to make women perfect lovers, this comic proposes to give us peace. It’s funny, guilt and uninhibited.
“Free!” Wants to be benevolent and hilarious. Nothing prevents you from being happy and to lead a life-plan full of marshmallow with your longtime lover. Nothing prevents you from exploring and to change your conquest each night, chaining all the postures of Kamasutra and fill in the national statistics of sex. As long as you want it, it’s okay. A true manifesto to feminism and self-acceptance.
An album resolutely in the air of time to put in all hands, feminine or masculine.
Libres ! Manifeste pour s’affranchir des diktats sexuels” by Ovidie and Diglee

Bébés congelés – Chiens écrasés (Frozen Babies – Crushed Dogs)

“We do not know what kind of world we live in …”
Since chance has caused two neurons to connect in the brain of a great monkey, it is the phrase that humanity has uttered the greatest number of times.
As soon as the man was able to speak, it was to frighten but also to revel in the violence, the stupidity, the absurdity of the society in which he participates. The oldest profession in the world, it is not that of prostitute as it is often believed, but that of storyteller of various facts. Luz, Jul, Tignou, Catherine, Charb and Riss have delivered in this album some delirious facts which will show the unbeliever in what world he lives.
A detonating album full of black humor that reminds us of the talent, among others, cartoonists Charb and Tignous, who died in the attack on the magazine “Charlie Hebdo” in January 2015.
