Enki Bilal: Legends of Today

Legends of Today brings together the first three volumes created by Enki Bilal in collaboration with the award-winning comics writer Pierre Christin.

Antagonised by an enigmatic character with supernatural powers, which serves as a theme for the trilogy, the three stories delve into the lives of various traditional communities (a village of the Landes, a Breton fishing port, a small working-class town in the North) as they fight against the police, the army, and all those in power, whose action, at the time, was very controversial.

The Nikopol Trilogy

The year is 2025, and Herakles Nikopol has returned to Earth following a 30-years exile in cryostasis. The Paris he lands in, however, is not the one he left. In his absence, the Gods of Egypt have returned to reassert their dominance over the human race.

One God in particular, the renegade Horus, has great plans he can only carry out with the help, unwilling though it may be, of Nikopol himself. Together they embark on a wild adventure that involves politics, intrigue, love… and a brutal, blood-soaked, hockey game.

“An extraordinary comics literary achievement and a cracking good story.”

Monster

Enki Bilal’s Monster tetralogy collected in English in its entirety for the first time ever.

The Monster tetralogy is Enki Bilal’s most personal work. The story follows Nike, Leyla, and Amir – three orphans born days apart, in the same bed, amidst the bombs of Sarajevo (Bilal’s homeland) during the war of Yugoslavia in 1993. The lives of the three spiral off on different trajectories before bringing them tougher once more.

“Bilal’s artwork is exquisite… A sure-fire bet for science fiction fans.” – Foreword Reviews
