Cruelle Dame Fortune e Book

One of the French top-key novels amazingly adapted into a furious and overwhelming comic.
We all know the story: in the Parisian Middle Age, Esmeralda, Gypsy Beauty, dances in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. She involuntary seduces Archdeacon Frollo who tries to catch her with the help of the Hunchback Quasimodo. But Captain Phoebus, true love of Esmeralda, helps her to escape. Robin Recht and Jean Bastide propose a bewitching tale in two parts, with very modern art, fury, passion and despair. Notre Dame is a masterpiece which benefits here of the combined talent of two young but yet major French comics artists.

L'Amour, l'argent, la gloire... Les préoccupations du futur ressemblent curieusement à celles d'aujourd'hui. Le monde est seulement un peu plus pollué, pourri, violent, en un mot : invivable. Ne vous étonnez donc pas si les héros dérisoires de Notre Dame des Silences ont envie de tout faire péter. On s'énerverait à moins !

Because of a shocking ending to the first Sin City book, many people wondered how successful Frank Miller could be with future tales of his no-holds-barred city noir. Enter Dwight McCarthy, a clean-living photographer who tries to avoid trouble because he knows what he's capable of.

When he finds out she's in way over her head, it looks as though trouble has found him. What's going to happen? You guessed it: people get hurt.

is a fictional 1930s costumed adventurer owned by Marvel Comics created by Howard Chaykin and based on the Scorpion, Chaykin's character for the failed Atlas/Seaboard Comics company. In June, 2009 was published as part of Marvel Comics' digital initiative. Written by Dean Motter, it featured the original Dominic Fortune in tales set during the 1930s. This was later followed in August by the current featured four-part miniseries published under Marvel's mature MAX imprint. Written and illustrated by Howard Chaykin, this miniseries is also set in the 1930s and features the original character. Chaykin, one of the masters of old fashioned, pulp-influenced comics art is in rare and breathtaking swashbuckling form here. The pages are full of raw and vicious action interspersed with generous portions of humor and sexual tension, giving the scenes set in the past a thrilling sort of contemporary feel. More sexually explicit and definitely more graphic and violent than most books you might find from the '30s, but the story is definitely true to those roots.

LA HISTORIA DEL RENACIMIENTO DE LA CATEDRAL MÁS IMPORTANTE DEL MUNDO
En 1845, el escritor Prosper Mérimée estaba decidido a salvar una Notre Dame en visible decadencia. Para ello decidió apostar por un apasionado arquitecto sin formación, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, un hombre que sacrificaría su vida familiar por su trabajo y dirigiría la restauración de decenas de iglesias góticas, para acabar sosteniendo sobre sus hombros el peso de salvar la catedral más importante de toda Francia.
