We thought Goldorak and the prince of Euphor who left to rebuild a civilization on their native planet.But at the time when the latest Véga forces launch an attack with the most powerful of their Golgoth on Earth, posing an ultimatum so that the territory of Japan is sold ... Humanity seems condemned to bend, but the giant robot n'was not really where everyone believed it ...

Did you think the Cornu Star of Children of the 80s star was an old man in the past?This album brilliantly proof to the contrary.It was a major challenge to dust the gently Manichean universe of the nice robot against the belligerent extra-terrestrial villains.The authors completely return this paradigm and make this new Goldorak adventure a superb tale for adults, where the bad guys are perhaps no longer so bad, and the gentle gently traumatized to have restored peace for so many years by massacringThousands of soldiers.A superb tribute to the original series and manga of Go Nagaï, who dubbed the project.

The Council of Anaïs Kien, producer of the program "A whole life": travel to Egypt and Nubia, by Giambattista Belzoni

The tribulations of Giovanni Battista Belzoni, one of the first Egyptologists and a earthy Italian giant struggling with his desire for adventures, with his sworn enemy the French consul, Bernardino Drovetti but also with the bait of gain.

A funny and kidnapped story, which tells of the eager for an unwinding elsewhere and the unconsciousness of those who looted the East to fill the West museums in the 19th century.

The advice of Xavier Maudu, producer of the program "Le Cours de l'histoire": Alice Guy, by Catel Muller and José-Louis Bocquet

In 1895, the Enlightenment brothers presented the cinematograph, with the first projections in public.Alice Guy was then the secretary of Louis Gaumont, director of the Comptoir Général de Photography.When this industrialist decides to try the adventure of the animated image, Alice Guy offers her her services to make small films.He accepts, if she turns out of her working hours.Then begins the career, if not the fate, of a pioneer of cinema who has become a great director, author of hundreds of films, including the incredible fairy to the cabbage.

Impeccable scenario, accuracy of the drawing, Alice Guy tells us about the beginnings of the cinema and the fate of a remarkable woman.Through her choice of fiction, by using professional actors, by the attention paid to the script, she constantly innovates, from France where she begins her career to the United States.These are stories that come across, technique and gender, representations too, around a woman too long left off-champs.

The two advice of Louise Tourret, producer of the program "Being and Knowing": Nowhere Girl by Magali Le Huche

As she dropped out, a teenager develops a passion for the Beatles who will allow her to escape and, over the months, to reconnect to reality and return to college.The author brings us back pleasantly in the early 90s and tells something a little mysterious for me: what it is to be a fan.

Magali Le Huche, who produced great albums for the little ones (read his non -no!), Draw very well the intensity of the 12 -year -old emotions that we were all by going from black and white to shimmerRose, red, yellow and purple (for each Beatles).Colors and sounds respond in this ode to reverie and imagination that offers magnificent boards, which we want to look for a long time and which we remember.

A pony in Paris by Claire Braud: "full of humor, which counts for the adult who will read the story 179 times"

Arrived by train, Richie takes the taxi, the flirtatious boat, a crowded RER C and the metro to admire the Eiffel Tower and visit the capital according to its meetings with Parisians from all over the world.The book ends with a nice drawn board which allows you to locate the adventures of the small pony in the city.

The city, represented with a lot of fantasy, resembles the Paris we know, with its tourists, crowds, demonstrations and artists.The images abound with funny details caught at pony, that is to say children.I love pictorial quotes in children's albums and pages where Richie looks at a painting by André Derain "which makes him go up with my eyes" also make me go tears in my eyes.The rather concise text is full of humor, which counts for the adult who will read the story 179 times.(And then, we have little opportunity to train to pronounce Kyrgyzstan!)

The advice of Perrine Kervran of the program "LSD, the documentary series": Coming in, by Elodie Font and Carole Maurel

Everyone knows it except her, Elo is a lesbian, yet she dreams from a little hetero fairy tale that she is beating to live until depression.This comic book tells the years she took her to understand who she was and what she wanted deeply.

Because it is a more complicated story that it looks, darker too, very honest, very sharing and super well put in pictures.Carole Maurel takes reflection further with unexpected vignettes or full pages that escape from the story to take their autonomy, as a parallel story, a layer of more meaning.
