Bøger af Jacques Tardi

The satirical masterpiece that ushered in the graphic novel era to European comics, finally available in English--the beginning of an ambitious publishing project introducing one of Europe's most beloved cartoonists to American audiences.

The sequel to "It Was War In The Trenches", which can be read on its own. Set in WWI.

Fantagraphics presents two experimental, early works by the French cartooning legend Tardi. These comics, created in the mid-''70s, provide a fascinating preview of the masterworks of his prolific career. While they are not narratively linked, an eerie sense of foreboding suffuses stories in this collection: they both depict sex and brutal violence and condemn the horrors of war.

The French cartooning master Tardi's first solo graphic novel is a riotous action-adventure comedy.

In the final volume of this intergenerational memoir, a powerful tribute to a lost generation of WWII POWs, the author's father comes home.

The first of two volumes presenting all of the world-renowned hardboiled crime graphic novels (one of which has never before been collected in English!) in a luxurious oversize format.

Like a Sniper Lining Up His Shot - Martin Terrier, killer-for-hire, needs just one more big job so that he can turn in his guns for good and return home to marry his childhood sweetheart. But soon, he's on the run - not only from the authorities and his treacherous ex-clients, but also from a crime syndicate seeking revenge for an earlier hit on one of theirs. In Run Like Crazy, Run Like Hell, philanthropist Michael Hartog hires Julie, just out of a psychiatric asylum, as a nanny. But he plans to fake the kidnapping of his son, Peter - and frame Julie for it. But Julie is no pushover, and soon, Julie and Peter are on the run, pursued by the police, and by Hartog's enforcer, the hulking contract killer, Thompson."--Provided by publisher

Sure, it's not going to be easy, but all they have to do is live through it."--Provided by publisher.

Featuring meticulous line work punctuated by stunning splashes of colour, Jacques Tardi''s grim yet heartening biographical portrait of his father''s life is a personal and artistic triumph.
