Hematite is a young vampire who is trying to find her way. As a member of the illustrious Blackwood family, she faces pressure to conform to high society standards, but such grandstanding isn't for her. And neither is drinking blood - she'd rather have vegetable soup! So it is that she opts for the more diverse Wolven School, rather than joining the ranks of her fellow vampires at the Diaemus Academy. Being different can be hard, though, and doesn't always help to make friends. Luckily for Hematite, she has her poetry, as well as Drunela - a draugr who won't let their differences keep them apart - and Emile, a human boy fascinated by the occult who would just love to take a peek at the Blackwood's private library. Unfortunately, bridging societal divides isn't always easy, and can lead to terrible consequences...

The Famous Quartet of Piraeus was formed in 1934 as a café band. It was the first group featuring the bouzouki and the baglama, and consisted of frontman Markos Vamvakaris, Giorgos Batis, Anestos Delias, and Stratos Pagioumtzis. Markos' fiery love for Zingoala, his first wife, is the main and painful source of inspiration for the founder of rebetiko music. Starting as a skinner at a slaughterhouse, Markos becomes a pioneer who paves new paths for traditional Greek music and entertainment, running constantly afoul of the musical mores of the era - as well as the police, his wife, and the dictatorship of Metaxas. And all the while, war is approaching in the background like an inevitable chorus...

With the True Memories of the Mystery Doctor, Alfredo Castelli, the man with a million ideas, pays homage to the soap operas of the nineteenth century, with an improbable and eclectic adventure that parodies all the genres of the time: romance-river, western, Victorian science fiction, jungle stories.
He is admirably assisted in this endeavor by Lucio Filippucci, who has succeeded in evoking by his stroke all the legend and charm of this period without giving in to the narration, and the covers of the series, created together by the two artists and imported from a parallel nineteenth century, are the perfect illustration.
If you think you've already read everything and nothing can surprise you anymore, then you need to go back to the source of the comic book. The authentic naïve adventure feuilletons of the late 19th century. The time of the first car, the invention of photography, but also the time of the magical journeys of Jules Verne. Equally authentic were the adventures of Docteur Mystère and his assistant Cigale. In Milan they unravel the mysterious disappearance of Lady B***'s husband. Because the case seems to be closely linked to the disappearance of a Chinese fighter, Dr. Mystère decides to enlist his old Chinese friend Kway. "Milanese Mysteries" is hilarious camp. Expect encounters with operatic haunts, spying rats, Oliver Twist robot armies and humpbacks at Milan's Dom. All authentic, of course. Unlike other stiff harkenstrips like Blake and Mortimer or Harry Dickson, Doctor Mystère is one hundred percent socially incorrect. Cigale's only task is to catch the ever-fainting Lady B***.
