Walou à l'horizon

Bouzid is going back to Algeria 10 years after he left. Normal, he was doing an internship in East Germany. But since this country has disappeared, the internship of our popular hero is now over. Bouzid gets back to his friends, Zina, Amzian, his cat El Gatt and all the people of Oued Besbes his beloved village. Everything has changed in the village: capitalism is running back, the “bearded men” want to take power over the “moustache men” and the people is abandoned to its sad destiny. Bouzid is getting organized and will try to do something. Let’s follow him in his impossible enterprise.

Le chien à trois pattes

Mireille and Julien are retired. These two love each other. Life would be beautiful if…if their son Eric would take more time to listen, if Mireille would know how to read, if their neighbour wouldn’t work at night, if their other neighbour, Sonia’s father, wouldn’t be unemployed….Fortunately, Madame Zoate, the teacher, is watching out. And then Yamilée’s baby is being too lovely. We too could be their neighbours with our troubles and our grieves, our cheesy happiness and our crazy will for life. A building it’s abit like an island at the heart of the city. The tiny and serious life wounded people, the 3 legged dogs that we are all share the same territory along with the daily hazards…and that is not always written in the tenancy agreement.

Black-Blanc-Beur : Les folles années de l'intégration

Farid Boudjellah and Larbi Mechkour haven’t reached 30 yet in 1983 when the first march of the second generation of North Africans (Beurs) happened. They have told the hazards faced by the first generation born in France with a successful earthy and burlesque tone. They played “Black, Blanc, Beur” and that was not an easy task. Today, they are established comic authors and have dug the ground with their pencils in order to enable their children to deploy their roots. Histoire Beur…Histoires de Beurs? By reading this album, the youngest are looking in the past with amusement; the oldest are taken by a delicious nostalgia. In addition, at the end of this book, you can also discover the adventures of Aziz Bricolo and his small multicolor gang, published in Pif Gadget.
