Jerome K. Jerome Bloche, Vol. 2: The Paper People
Alain Dodier (w & a & c)
The youthful private-eye-in-training, Jerome. K Jerome Bloche—more Will Ferrel and Humphrey Bogart than Spade—is off to the French countryside, eager to solve his first real case. But an emergency summons from the Baron de Verville leads to an unexpected disappearing persons case, with two quite unhelpful suspects—the Baron’s own adult children! And neither seems too concerned with the current state of affairs. For Jerome, the gothic architecture, secret passages, hidden closets, and suspicious characters are the perfect ingredients for a murder mystery!

EuroComics presents the English-language debut of The Quest of Ewilan, Vol. 1: From One World to Another, the first chapter in the sequential adaption of Pierre Bottero‘s bestselling novel series and a whimsical adventure featuring strong female characters, in the tradition of Lewis’ Narnia and L’Engle’s Time Quartet. Scripted by Lylian and illustrated by Laurence Baldetti, The Quest of Ewilan, Vol. 1 will be available in stores in September.
In this epic grand fantasy, 13-year-old Camille’s life is forever changed when, trying to avoid an oncoming truck, she passes through a portal to a parallel world called Gwendalavir. She’s immediately threatened by creatures called Ts’liches, who claim that they’ve been searching for her so they can kill her! Luckily she’s zapped back home, but her best friend Salim is skeptical of her story…until giant spiders attack them from the other side. Once back in Gwendalavir, she learns that she is originally from that other world, the daughter of two powerful magicians who sent her to our world for her own protection. Camille has inherited a tremendous gift — magic drawing, the ability to manifest things by creating a mental image of them. As the battle for two worlds intensifies, she hones the skills that might be a decisive weapon in the struggle of her people to regain power and restore freedom and dignity to Gwendalavir.
