“A
book based on a soundtrack score that has not yet been composed for
a feature film that does not yet exist.” Pixies frontman Black Francis has approached writing his first book as he would do a song: with eccentricity and imagination. The Good Inn tells the story of an eighteen-year-old known only as
Soldier Boy who, after escaping a devastating explosion at the French port of Toulon, sets out on a bizarre journey across France. Navigating his way past homicidal gypsies, combative soldiers and porn-peddling peasants, he takes refuge at The Good Inn – and promptly finds himself centre stage in the making of the world’s first narrative pornographic movie. Black Francis is the frontman of cult US rock band Pixies. His songs have inspired musicians from Thom Yorke to Kurt Cobain. Josh Frank is the author of the Pixies biography Fool the
World. Steven Appleby is a cartoonist for The Guardian newspaper. The author of over 20 books, he has also worked in TV, radio and musical theatre.

aris, 2002. Arthur Vlaminck lands a job as a speechwriter for Alexandre Taillard de Vorms, the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs at the Quai d’Orsay. Vorms is no simple man.
A refined and driven intellectual, he loves Napoleon and frequently quotes French poetry and Greek philosophy. As the imposing doors of politics and diplomacy swing open, Arthur is thrown into a world of large egos, high stress, and low cunning – and tasked with drafting Vorm’s response to a growing international crisis in the Middle East. Spanning the run-up to an invasion, Weapons of Mass Diplomacy is a revelatory account of a period that saw French fries dubbed “freedom fries” and French people damned as “cheese-eating surrender monkeys”. Abel Lanzac, a pseudonym for Antonin Baudry, is a diplomat and former advisor to French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin. Christophe Blain is an award-winning artist and writer. He won the ‘Best Graphic Novel’ award at Angoulême for Isaac the Pirate.

Auschwitz. When he is forced to fight against other
inmates for the amusement of the SS officers, Haft shows
9 781906 838775
extraordinary strength and courage, and a determination to survive. As the Soviet Army advances in April 1945, he makes a daring escape from the death march. After the war, having escaped the Nazis, Haft again puts his strength to good use, establishing a career as a prizefighter in the USA. In The Boxer, Reinhard Kleist reveals another side to the steely Harry Haft: a man struggling to escape the memories of the fiancée he left behind in Poland. This is a powerful graphic novel about love and the will to survive. Reinhard Kleist has written a number of critically acclaimed graphic novels, among them the awardwinning biographies Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness and Castro. In January 2013, he became the first comic book artist to be honoured with the B. Z. Kulturpreis for his contribution to Berlin’s cultural scene. Kleist lives in Berlin, Germany.

ust over 225 years ago, one of the most incredible odysseys in human history took place. 1,500
men and women were crammed aboard 11 ships and transported to the other side of the planet. They were
criminals, outcasts, renegades: the scum of England. Having travelled over 24,000km, across three oceans, they arrived at the country that was to be their new home. For some, it was a one-way trip to hell; for others, it proved an unexpected chance of a new life. Bollée and Nicloux’s 500-page masterpiece is a meticulously researched, perceptive and sympathetic account of the birth of Australia. Laurent-Frédéric Bollée is the author of over 40 graphic novels. Fascinated by Australia, he began working on Terra Australis in December 2007. He lives in Versailles, France. Philippe Nicloux has illustrated numerous graphic novels. He lives in Nice, France.

suffering from writer’s block. Then, on a bridge crossing
over a river, her unsettled life collides with that of a rugged young man. He’s survived for months on London’s streets, by his wits… and his looks. Under extraordinary circumstances Pamela invites him into her comfortable suburban home. There, in spite of obvious differences, they form an unlikely partnership, and their once separate lives are revived in stark new directions. A hard-hitting hothouse drama, Room for Love is an original graphic novel unafraid to play with fire.

The narrative follows Gwynplaine, the two-year-old heir to a rebel lord, who is abducted upon the orders of a vindictive monarch, who has him mutilated (to produce a permanent, grisly smile), then abandoned. After years of living frugally he is re-introduced to aristocratic life, and resolves to become the
