(H/B) FOG OVER TOLBIAC BRIDGE
Paris, 1950s. Nestor Burma's past comes knocking when a young gypsy woman leads him to a hospital where he discovers a recently deceased old buddy from his anarchist days. While Burma has chosen to move onto the (more or less) straight and narrow as a private eye, his friend had stayed on the other side of the law as a counterfeiter and worse. So now it's up to Burma to avenge his friend, keep the girl safe, and hopefully unravel a mystery whose roots run far and deep back into the past... Fog Over Tolbiac Bridge is the first of four major...

(H/B) STREETS OF PARIS, STREETS OF MURDER
The first of two volumes presenting all of the world-renowned hardboiled crime graphic novels (one of which has never before been collected in English!) in a luxurious oversize format. In the never-before-collected Griffu, the titular character is a legal advisor, not a private eye, but even he knows that when a sultry blonde appears in his office after hours, he shouldn't trust her - and she doesn't disappoint. Griffu is soon ensnared in a deadly web of sexual betrayal, real estate fraud, and murder. In West Coast Blues, a young sales exe...

(H/B) IT WAS THE WAR OF THE TRENCHES
2011 Eisner Award Winner: Best Reality-Based Work and Best U.S. Edition of International Material 2011 Harvey Award Nominee: Best American Edition of Foreign Material World War I, that awful, gaping wound in the history of Europe, has long been an obsession of Tardi's. But It Was the War of the trenches is Tardi's defining, masterful statement on the subject, a graphic novel that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front and Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms. Tardi is not interested in th...

Η ΚΡΑΥΓΗ ΤΟΥ ΛΑΟΥ (ΣΚΛΗΡΟΔΕΤΗ ΕΚΔΟΣΗ)
Παρίσι 1871. Στη μητρόπολη των κοινωνικών αναταραχών, η απόπειρα απομάκρυνσης από το ύψωμα της Μονμάρτρης των κανονιών, των τελευταίων δηλαδή αμυντικών όπλων του Παρισιού, θα σταθεί η αφορμή για το ξέσπασμα της πρώτης κοινωνικής επανάστασης, της Κομμούνας. Οι κομμουνάροι με διάταγμα θέτουν υπό τη σημαία της Κομμούνας όλους τους ξένους εθελοντές -ανάμεσα τους Πολωνοί, Ιταλοί, Ιρλανδοί, ακόμα και Έλληνες- και τονίζουν μέσα από κείμενα και μπροσούρες ότι ο στόχος τους δεν είναι εθνικοαπελευθερωτικός, αλλά ταξικός, καλώντας στον αγώνα τόσο τις...

(H/B) RUN LIKE CRAZY RUN LIKE HELL
After the teeth-rattling one-two punch of West Coast Blues and Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot, Jacques Tardi makes a third appointment with ace crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette for his wildest adaptation yet. Peter Hartog, a rich industrialist, hires a troubled young woman, Julie, straight out of the psychiatric asylum to which she has been consigned for several years, to work as a nanny for his bratty kid Peter. But Hartog's seemingly altruistic impulse to help rehabilitate a troubled soul hides a darker motive: He plans to stage a f...

(H/B) NEW YORK MON AMOUR
Many years ago, Jacques Tardi was introduced to American audiences with Manhattan, a grim and grimy story of depression, madness and suicide in New York City whose appearance in the premiere issue of RAW magazine was instrumental in defining both that magazine’s virtuoso aesthetic and its dark sensibility. Three decades later, New York Mon Amour collects Manhattan and three other tales of the Big Apple rendered by Tardi with just as much panache and you-are-there detail as Paris or the trenches of World War I in his other books in one spec...

(H/B) THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC (VOLUME 2)
After establishing the world of the prickly heroine with the first two episodes of this classic series (combined in Fantagraphics' "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec Volume 1"), Jacques Tardi plunges us back into Belle-Epoque Paris for another double dosage of heroic derring-do, evil and crazy malefactors, mad actresses (yes, "Clara Benhardt" makes a return appearance) and monsters! In "The Mad Scientist" the science that brought us revived dinosaurs now results in a pithecanthrope stalking the streets of the City of Light, c...

(H/B) THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC (VOLUME 1)
Both a rip-roaring adventure series set in pre-World War I Paris and a parody of same, "Adele Blanc-Sec" has been enchanting, thrilling, and puzzling readers worldwide through four decades. With various American attempts to publish Adele having dribbled into nothing decades ago, Fantagraphics Books, fresh from its triumphs with Tardi's "West Coast Blues", 'You Are There", and "It Was the War of the Trenches", launches a spectacular, newly retranslated, hardcover series that intends to collect every one of its nine (soon ten) volumes. In th...
