Drawn and Quarterly Rebecca & Lucie in the Case of the Missing
Book SynopsisA mat-leave murder mystery, complete with post-partum physiotherapy and suspicious grocery store footage. Rebecca s got an eight-month-old baby and a mystery to investigate! Late one summer night as she s breastfeeding Lucie, she spots two men carrying something heavy into a white minivan. It s probably nothing serious, but when Rebecca hears that a home healthcare provider named Eduardo Morales disappeared from the neighborhood that very night, she puts her detective hat on and gets to work. Over the course of the subsequent weeks, Rebecca juggles motherhood and detective work alternating between unproductive visits with the Simard family for whom the missing Eduardo worked and tearful visits to potential daycares for Lucie. She faces down inconclusive interviews with evasive subjects and inconveniently timed diaper changes. Pascal Girard s observational humor and perfect timing shine, highlighting how Rebecca s (over)confident, brash approach gets results, not just with the troublesome Simards but with everyone in her life. Rebecca and Lucie in the Case of the Missing Neighbor is a light-hearted maternity leave mystery that centers a new mother in all her post-partum glory.Trade ReviewYou won t find another book as cheerful, or as beautifully told, as Petty Theft. Stranger. [In] Petty Theft, Pascal Girard offers up a dry, humorous, and neurotic look at his own dating life. AV Club.

SelfMadeHero Sandcastle
Book SynopsisThe inspiration for Old, a Blinding Edge Pictures production, directed and produced by two-time Oscar nominee M. Night Shyamalan, from his screenplay based on the graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Lévy and Frederik Peeters. It’s a perfect beach day, or so thought the family, young couple, a few tourists, and a refugee who all end up in the same secluded, idyllic cove filled with rock pools and sandy shore, encircled by green, densely vegetated cliffs. But this utopia hides a dark secret. First there is the dead body of a woman found floating in the crystal-clear water. Then there is the odd fact that all the children are aging rapidly. Soon everybody is growing older—every half hour—and there doesn’t seem to be any way out of the cove. Levy’s dramatic storytelling works seamlessly with Peeters’s sinister art to create a profoundly disturbing and fantastical mystery. Praise for Sandcastle: “Sandcastle truly inspired my film Old. It is a profound mystery sci-fi graphic novel that is illustrated so beautifully and with such humanity. Its theme of ageing had me thinking about my parents and children, and how quickly it all goes by. From the moment I read this, I was changed.” – M. Night Shyamalan “Begins like a murder mystery, continues like an episode of The Twilight Zone, and finishes with a kind of existentialism that wouldn’t be out of place in a Von Trier film.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review “By turns touching, frightening, and strangely believable. It’s a low-key SF gem with heart.” – SFX Magazine “Peeters and Lévy convey some profound, if profoundly unsubtle, truths about the human condition. Weighty stuff, expertly told.” —The Comics Bulletin “Maximally eerie, unsettling.” – Booklist

His legend only grew after his sudden disappearance in 1997-some think him dead; others claim he vanished after stealing $12 million from a dangerous crime family. In reality, Martin retired to settle down with his wife, Megan-but when her health fails, and the salary Martin earns working at a department store falls far short of covering her medical bills, he's forced to embark upon another crime spree. The good news is, he's still got a knack for nabbing a big score; unfortunately, the Boston Mob has a long memory and takes their vendettas very seriously. Duggan (Dawn of X. Vol. 3) and McCrea (Judge Dredd: Mechanismo; Machine Law) combine the swashbuckling banditry of Ocean's Eleven and the brutal, over-the-top violence and dark humor that made McCrea's Hitman a gonzo crime classic.VERDICT Watching Dead Eyes outsmart, outmaneuver, and outgun his enemies is a total blast in this first collection of what will hopefully be a long-running series.
