Tag med på spændende biljagter, casinobesøg og bankrøveri med kontraspionen Arlequin. Tegneserie for unge og voksne læsere.

Den internationale politiske situation er højspændt, men det er vel ikke nogen særlig nyhed. Denne gang vil den østasiatiske diktator Pxing Pxiong slutte venskab med præsident Trompf fra de Forsamlede Stater. Efterretningstjenesten mener at en sådan alliance er en lidt for giftig cocktail for verdensfreden, og sender nationens bedste agenter afsted for at redde verdensfreden. Mere skal ikke røbes om den hæsblæsende handling, men hverken Flip eller Flop kan længere skjule at de ligger under for en stribe af alderdommens skavanker. Nu har vi altså også kendt dem i 50 år…

Produktinformasjon

I en liten fransk landsby okkupert av den tyske hæren nekter tre barn å bøye seg for fienden. Men hvordan kan man stå imot en så sterk motstander når man bare er 13 år? En nydelig historisk fortelling om vennskap og mot.
Serien Motstandsbarna er en franskbelgiske tegneseriesuksess som følger opplevelsene til tre venner under krigen. ( av Ers/Dugomier)

For 14-åringen François og vennene hans har situasjonen i landsbyen - og i hele Frankrike - gått fra verre til verst: En lokal innbygger har begynt å angi jøder til nazistene, ungdommene opplever at en de kjenner, blir drept i kamp, og jødeforfølgelsen nærmer seg utenkelige høyder.
François, Lisa og Eusèbe har fullført sitt til nå største oppdrag ved å sprenge en fabrikk som resirkulerte kobber. Men kontakten deres ble drept, og situasjonen er farligere enn noen gang. Trioen må stå på for å holde i gang nettverket de har etablert, og få tak i en radiosender som vil gi dem muligheten til å kommunisere med London.
Disse truslene fører til en sterkere motstandsbevegelse med bedre kommunikasjon, etterretning og fluktnettverk - takket være folk som François og hans lille gruppe.

Historiene i denne boken er alle skrevet og tegnet av Dina Norlund - en dyktig tegner og historieforteller - som døde av kreft bare 27 år gammel i februar 2023.
Avtrykket hun har satt på norsk seriemiljø og på leserne sine kan nesten ikke beskrives. Hennes tegneserieroman «Snøkattprinsen» fra 2021 ble både en kritikerfavoritt og en bestselger, og er solgt til flere land - inkludert USA. Men Dina Norlund hadde mange andre tegneserier liggende - flere av dem korte, vakre og varme. Noen av disse kan du lese i denne boken. I tillegg byr vi på to barnebøker som Norlund både tegnet og forfattet.

Bli med ut i naturen med Hakkespettene! Hakkespettene ble introdusert for første gang i 1951 og har siden vært en av Andebys viktigste institusjoner. Med Hakkespettene ble vi vitne til at Ole, Dole og Doffen gikk fra å være en rampete trekløver som gjerne benyttet seg av enhver mulighet til å terge på seg deres kjære onkel Donald, til å bli eksemplariske, veslevoksne mangestjernegeneraler i en til tider pompøs speidergruppe.

Carl Barks' historier om Hakkespettene kan deles opp i to perioder; historier som han selv både skrev og tegnet, og en senere periode hvor han skrev manus som siden skulle bli rentegnet av andre tegnere. Denne senere perioden skulle også vise seg å bli en av de mest interessante periodene i hans forfatterskap på grunn av den til tider gravalvorlige tematikken rundt forurensning, naturvern og industrialisme.

I denne pocketen gir vi et innblikk i begge disse periodene, hvorav den senere perioden er sterkt preget av den nederlandske tegneren, Daan Jippes, som fikk det ærefulle oppdraget å gjøre ferdig alle hakkespettmanusene skrevet av Barks fra 1969-1973.

The true story of beloved Cambodian singer Ros Serey Sothea, whose “Golden Voice” helped define Cambodia’s Golden Age of music until her mysterious disappearance in the killing fields of Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge. Developed in partnership with Sothea’s family.

There is a saying in Cambodia: Music is the soul of a nation. Perhaps no one embodied that spirit more than Ros Serey Sothea, a young woman who would forever change the landscape of Cambodian music as the Queen with the Golden Voice.

From a humble rice farmer to nationally recognized singer, Sothea’s success captured the hearts of the Khmer people. Throughout her career, she recorded over 500 songs, her signature angelic voice soaring over genres from traditional ballads to psychedelic rock and beyond.

As the Cambodian civil war raged, Sothea's singing career continued to flourish, even when she served in the army as one of the country's first female paratroopers. After years of bloody conflict, the communist Khmer Rouge seized control, murdering artists and destroying their music, bringing Cambodia's golden age into a dark era of silence. Sothea’s fate is unknown.

Ros Serey Sothea's golden voice lives on in the popular music of Cambodia to this very day. Gone but not forgotten, her legacy continues to inspire. The Golden Voice tells the story of Sothea’s life, developed alongside the surviving family who knew her, and accompanied by an interactive soundtrack.

Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland are no different than most boys. They love adventure, games, and spending time outdoors. They’re curious about girls, curious about life, and particularly curious when it comes to mysteries. You see, Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland happen to be two of the best detectives in England.

Note that we didn’t say living in England. That’s because Edwin and Charles aren’t living in England. In fact, they’re not living at all.

What is our relationship with physical and emotional environments? How do we react to and live in the world around us? This book explores the dimensions of how geography affects the psyche, from the known to the unknown. In colorful, gorgeous pen-and-ink illustrations, the transformation of landscapes from immediate and personal to fantastical and nostalgic captures the sense of place. Viewing each image creates your own personal experience of space. Starting with more immediate spaces and ending with faraway planets, this book is an emotional, creative journey.

Immediately following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Nora Krug connected with two anonymous subjects - 'K.', a Ukrainian journalist, and 'D.', a Russian artist - and began what would become a year of correspondence. Deeply moved by the rawness of their responses, she felt that through the personal accounts of these individuals who, directly and indirectly, experienced the war firsthand, she might be able to communicate something of the war and its human impact. Over the course of the next twelve months she communicated with each of them individually via phone chat, condensing their sometimes fluid, sometimes fragmentary answers into a consistent narrative and then created illustrations to go with each entry. The personal accounts contained in this book chronicle the first year of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in an intimate, epistolary format.

Diaries of War explores the personal, the political, conflict, family and daily life under war with immense skill, compassion and moving thoughtfulness. Through these two individuals we see the granular effects of war on two lives, but they are emblematic of millions. Diaries of War is a harrowing record of a heart-wrenching historical event that has devastated the world and continues to alter countless lives.

Appearing together in English for the first time, three politically charged sci-fi graphic novellas by a pioneering French comics artist.

Dark, smart, and indomitably cool, the ’70s and ’80s dystopian visions of Chantal Montellier still unsettle.

Visitors to an underground mall must recreate civilization after a nuclear strike may have wiped out the rest of humanity. Newlyweds find themselves implicated in a government eugenics program. A disembodied authority reprimands a man for stepping out of view of a security camera.

In this collection of three novellas—Wonder City, Shelter, and 1996—published together in English for the first time, Montellier’s blend of dark humor, gripping storytelling, and consistent focus on the perils of totalitarianism shows her to be a master of both comics and science fiction.

Spain’s answer to Seinfeld, these observational, relatable autobio vignettes by Spanish cartoonist Paco Roca poke fun at the vexing tribulations of modern life.

At 40, cartoonist Paco Roca has finally achieved his childhood dream ― to spend all day at home in his pajamas! However, his blissful, loungewear-clad reverie is beset with a host of mundane problems: He dreads small talk with “the world’s biggest bore,” but his excuses and white lies are finally catching up with him. When good friends breaks up, taking either side could lead to social disaster. The simple mission to change his train ticket descends into an impossibly complicated, Kafkaesque affair. And worst of all, his partner keeps hanging the toilet paper roll the wrong way!

In the vein of sitcoms like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Roca’s comic vignettes brilliantly satirize the pesky pitfalls of modern-day life. Like most of us, Roca’s alter ego just wants to be liked and to do the right thing, but finds that through crippling indecision, cowardly behavior, and the absurd machinations of the universe, he is usually thwarted. The ensuing situations he finds himself embroiled in are as hilarious as they are often painfully relatable.

A gorgeously illustrated and written debut graphic memoir about belonging, identity, and making a home in the remote American West, by New Yorker cartoonist Navied Mahdavian.

Before Navied Mahdavian moved with his wife and dog in November of 2016 from San Francisco to an off-the-grid cabin in rural Idaho, he had never fished, gardened, hiked, hunted, or lived in a snowy place. But there, he could own land, realize his dream of being an artist, and start a family—the Millennial dream. Over the next three years, Mahdavian leaned into the wonders of the natural Idaho landscape and found himself adjusting to and enjoying a slower pace of living. But beyond the boundaries of his six acres, he was confronted with the realities of America’s political shifts and forced to confront the question: Do I belong here?

Mahdavian’s beautifully written and unflinchingly honest graphic memoir charts his growth and struggles as an artist, citizen, and new father. It celebrates his love of place and honors the relationships he makes in rural America, touching on dynamics like culture, environment, and identity in America, and even articulating difficult moments of racism and brutality he found there as a Middle Eastern American. With wit, compassion, and a sense of humor, Mahdavian’s insider perspective offers a unique portrait of one of the most remote and wild areas of the American West.

Constance, a modern, young illustrator, takes revenge for the thousands of attacks suffered daily by women with a comic of her own, titled The Amazing Camel Toe, celebrating the adventures of an anti-macho vigilante in tight, panther leggings: A hero who battles against sexism, harassment, slut-shaming, and unrealistic standards of beauty. A form of release that could materialize in a publishing deal for Constance… But in order for that to happen, the author, often full of doubt, must dare to assert herself more. Luckily, she’s supported by her gang of girlfriends, her boyfriend, her favorite band, and not to mention Camel Toe herself: who says this comic-book bombshell can’t exist in real life?

Gently provocative, cheerfully fierce, and borderline punk, Claire Duplan has a style and a tone all her own, overflowing with humor and energy.

For de som ikke kjenner til boka, er dette noe så uvanlig som en perfekt kombinasjon av science fiction, satire og antikrigsroman. Handlingen sentrerer rundt Billy Pilgrims opplevelser under andre verdenskrig, hans erfaringer fra tysk fangenskap og de alliertes umenneskelige bombing av Dresden. Tegneserieadaptasjon av Ryan North med tegninger av Albert Monteys.
