Bøker av Jacques Tardi

Fantagraphics presents two experimental, early works by the French cartooning legend Tardi. These comics, created in the mid-''70s, provide a fascinating preview of the masterworks of his prolific career. While they are not narratively linked, an eerie sense of foreboding suffuses stories in this collection: they both depict sex and brutal violence and condemn the horrors of war.

The French cartooning master Tardi's first solo graphic novel is a riotous action-adventure comedy.

In the final volume of this intergenerational memoir, a powerful tribute to a lost generation of WWII POWs, the author's father comes home.

"Something hunts people on the outskirts of town... Sam and Lielet are two friends living in Ethiopia who are dealing with the kind of problems that all kids have; judgemental social cliques, condescending adults, alienation, and a legendary brain-eating monster of folklore. Sure, it's not going to be easy, but all they have to do is live through it."--Provided by publisher.

Captured French soldier Rene Tardi finally gets a taste of freedom, as prisoners and German officers alike are forced to evacuate the POW camp he has languished in for the past four years. A long, gruelling journey eastward begins, where Tardi and his fellow POWs must evade the Russian Army, stave off their gnawing hunger, and contend with the increasingly ill-tempered German soldiers accompanying them. Featuring meticulous line work punctuated by stunning splashes of colour, Jacques Tardi''s grim yet heartening biographical portrait of his father''s life is a personal and artistic triumph.

After escaping from the waking nightmare of Briarstone Asylum, the former captives venture to the dismal town of Thrushmoor to unravel the enigma of their lost memories. Upon arrival, the adventurers discover that the town's leadership has either fled town or gone missing.
