Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou Books

An all new original graphic novel packed with as much heart as epic combat from rising comic stars Juni Ba (Djeliya, Monkey Meat) and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou (PanelxPanel)! Join a brave young monster and their grouchy mentor on a heartfelt quest for redemption and growth in a world run by fear. Felix is a shy little beast growing up in a world where monster wrestling is the biggest spectacle there is. Lonely, and constantly bullied by the bigger monsters his age, Felix struggles to prove themselves and find their place in the world. Their fate is changed forever when a dare lands them on the doorstep of one of the scariest monsters in the whole world— Macabber Tails, one of the most famous monstering champions in history. Felix wants to be big and brave and strong and tough, just like Macabber, and so they decide to do whatever it takes to not be a fraidy little monster anymore. Their unlikely journey together sends them to Macabber's hometown, to the mountains of the colossal flame-wielding Kilnver—a monster able to make an army of knights out of just its own saliva—and to the lair of the dastardly Amaret, the monster that made Macabber the champion they are today. Together they face some battles for their life, but not always in ways that are physical and by the end, Felix and Macabber may learn a thing or two about being tough.

Haunted by her past lives, both as a human and as the cybernetic bounty hunter known as Cyn, Meris is desperate to live a peaceful existence. Drawing from sci-fi and Western influences, Cyn is a thrilling meditation on redemption, self-sacrifice, and found family from the mind of acclaimed comics creator Ibrahim Moustafa (RetroActive, Mother Panic: Gotham A.D.) A cloaked figure stumbles from a cargo ship, a wreckage of would-be attackers in her wake. What should have killed her only proves what she already knows - Her body will not let her die. Fleeing her bloody past as the masked cybernetic bounty hunter known as Cyn, Meris is discovered unconscious by a former Union medic and his two adopted daughters. As they nurse her back to health and she struggles to adapt to a world far from the brutal life she was forced to lead as Cyn, two things become clear: her past isn't ready to let her go, and she isn't the only one whose dark, secret history is threatening to destroy their present. From acclaimed comics creator Ibrahim Moustafa (RetroActive, Mother Panic: Gotham A.D.) comes a Westerm-tinged sci-fi tale of savagery and salvation, where one woman’s road to redemption leads through an interstellar frontier as harsh and unforgiving as her own past.

Zaklínač zahajuje nový lov v příběhu inspirovaném jednou – či snad dokonce dvěma! – klasickými pohádkami. Geralt, proslulý jakožto největší zabiják nestvůr, zavítá do Grimmwaldu. Bývalým důlním městečkem se šíří podivné zvěsti o řádícím vlkodlakovi. Je možné, že to nějak souvisí s příchodem tří zbohatlých sester? Jenže změny nepřinášejí pouze strach a hněv. Mohou také zrodit nové nepřátele – dokonce i monstra. Zatímco je Geralt zaneprázdněn řešením záhady a zabíjením nestvůr, Marigoldovi se naskytne šance nalézt inspiraci, kterou potřeboval k napsání dokonalé balady.
