ROUTE 66 LIST GN #2

MISSOURI

(W) Eric Stalner (A) Eric Stalner

Alex Poliac and his son are still on the run, having evaded both the FBI and the Clown, the supposed serial killer who's actually a KGB hatchet man. Because Alex is in fact a Soviet sleeper agent, part of a network run by legendary spy Sasha, a shadowy figure among the US's most wanted list. He is also the only holder of the Route 66 List, which contains the names of every agent implanted in the States along the celebrated road, the same agents Sasha is now having killed.

THORGAL GN

BETRAYED SORCERESS

(W) Jean Van Hamme (A) Grzegorz Rosinski (CA) Grzegorz Rosinski

The first two volumes of the adventures of Thorgal, published in 1980, translated into English at last in this retroactively numbered double volume. Thorgal's coming-of-age is painfully similar to the rest of his life: the young man finds himself tied up to the stone of sacrifice by Gandalf the Mad, king of the Vikings of the North and father of his beloved Aaricia. There, the Child of the Stars can do nothing but wait for the coming tide - and death. Until, that is, a mysterious sorceress with flaming red hair comes to offer him a deal: his life, and revenge, against one year in her service.

VALERIAN GN #23

FUTURE IS WAITING

(W) Pierre Christen (A) Jean-Claude Mezieres (CA) Jean-Claude Mezieres

Several new chapters of Valerian and Laureline's adventures - but are they flashbacks, or ... ? After the events of The Time Opener, Valerian and Laureline reverted to childhood, and are now living with Mr. Albert on 21st century Earth. But in a universe where time travel is a reality, words like "after" or even "now" can be somewhat ... hazy, and elsewhere, in other times, our young but nonetheless adult agents are still working tirelessly to maintain a galactic peace threatened as always by greed and the thirst for power.
