Book Description
It all starts in a school playground, and then it moves to a classroom, where Larcenet's superb graphic camera zooms in on two ten-year-old kids: Gildas and Martina.

As far as they're concerned, their entire world is made up of false appearances, and they're soon to be the victims of a huge intergalactic plot! You read, you smile, you snigger. But then suddenly, it's all turned on its head...

Book Description
This is the first ever English-language anthology collecting texts and documents from the still little-known Scandinavian part of the Situationist movement. The book covers over three decades of writing, gravitating around the year 1962 when the Situationist movement went through its most dynamic and critical moments, and the disagreements about the relationship between art and politics came to a culmination, resulting in exclusions and the split of the Situationist International.

Book Description
The First Soviet Cosmonaut Team will relate who these men were and offer far more extensive background stories, in addition to those of the more familiar names of early Soviet space explorers from that group. Many previously-unpublished photographs of these “missing” candidates will also be included for the first time in this book. It will be a detailed, but highly readable and balanced account of the history, training and experiences of the first group of twenty cosmonauts of the USSR. A covert recruitment and selection process was set in motion throughout the Soviet military in August 1959, just prior to the naming of America’s Mercury astronauts. Those selected were ordered to report for training at a special camp outside of Moscow in the spring of 1960. Just a year later, Senior Lieutenant Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Air Force (promoted in flight to the rank of major) was launched aboard a Vostok spacecraft and became the first person ever to achieve space flight and orbit the Earth.

Book Description
They're spots... spots that speak, think, judge, talk about everything and nothing... Depressive spots, euphoric spots, racist spots, swinger spots, spots that change their hue while remaining resolutely off-color. Manu Larcenet brings to life a large family of spots in a series of biting, caustic, hilarious strips.
