FICTION THIEVES Lucie Bryon

OCTOBER

Paperback | 208pp | 260 x 206mm £14.99 | ISBN 9781838741198

Ella and Madeleine don’t know it yet, but they’re about to embark on the strangest romantic adventure of their lives, and it’s not just their hearts that are getting stolen in this laugh-out-loud, capering graphic novel. What happened last night? Ella can’t seem to remember a single thing from the party the night before at a mysterious stranger’s mansion, and she sure as heck doesn’t know why she’s woken up in her bed surrounded by a magpie’s nest of objects that aren’t her own. And she can’t stop thinking about her huge crush on Madeleine, who she definitely can’t tell about her sudden penchant for kleptomania… But does Maddy have secrets of her own? Can they piece together that night between them and fix the mess of their chaotic personal lives in time to form a normal, teenage relationship? That would be nice. Lucie Bryon is a cartoonist and illustrator. She studied graphic design in Orléans, France and comics at the ESA St Luc Brussels, Belgium. She now lives in France a works for children’s publishing, video game companies and various publications as an illustrator and comic artist. Her work was published by ShortBox, Milan, BDkids, Kaboom Studios, Cicada Magazine, and France Inter. 4

A colourful coming-of-age story that explores adolescence, failure... and the Beatles. This is the story of a girl growing up in the 1990s – a middle-schooler who finds herself lost in the gulf between childhood and adolescence, developing paralyzing fears of failure, school, other people, and her own changing body. Along the way, she becomes obsessed with the Beatles… which might be just what she needs to find her way back to being okay. Yeah yeah yeah! Magali Le Huche was born in Paris in 1979. She spent five years at the school of decorative arts in Strasbourg, three of which she specialized in illustration. She left the school in 2004 and came back to Paris with her first two children's books tucked under her arm. Ever since then, she's been working regularly as an author and illustrator for the press and children's publishing. 7

A bump in the night, the crack of floorboards and the uneasy coldness of a room... Signs we might attribute to a ghostly presence. Through the decades, investigators and mediums have dedicated themselves to the task of reaching through the veil and contacting the other side. This illustrative study explores whether ghosts are the souls of the dead, windows in time or interdimensional beings, and how cultures through the ages have responded with fear and fascination to their horrific haunts and eerie appearances. Adam Allsuch Boardman grew up in an exceptionally green part of the Yorkshire Dales in England, and studied BA Illustration at Leeds Arts University. He is currently a freelance illustrator, doing jobs for national museum exhibits, educational publications and historic businesses. He is greatly influenced by film and television as well as books, from authors such as Agatha Christie to Isaac Asimov.

A genre-splicing collaboration between a neuroscientist and a comics artist (who also happens to study neuroscience) about the way our brains work. Welcome to Neurocomic, a visually captivating adventure through the brain; populated by quirky creatures, bizarre landscapes and famous neuroscientists. Our nameless protagonist evades vindictive colossal squid, negotiates mysterious trap doors, battles Boschean narcotic demons and navigates forests of neurons to take you on a rapturous journey through the most complex organic structure in the universe. Produced in association with the Wellcome Trust, the largest medical charity in the world, Neurocomic is a wonderful introduction to the complexities of the brain.
