Blake & Mortimer - The Complete Collection Vol. 6
This sixth volume of the collected edition introduces the second creative team assigned to the new adventures of Blake & Mortimer: Andre Juillard and Yves Sente, who would take turns with Jean Van Hamme and Ted Benoit. The first album of the new duet was The Voronov Plot, a spy thriller set in Russia in which our heroes try to avert a bacteriological war. The next year, Benoit and Van Hamme's next creation came out: The Strange Encounter, a time travel story that returns to the science fiction aspects of Jacobs's stories - much to the fans' joy. Finally, the 24 pages of bonus material tell all about the masterstroke from Sente - whose script was the first he'd ever written!

As their wild twenties come to a close, though, the dynamic between the two is shifting. Coming off a tough breakup, Victor dedicates his energy towards building a career writing celebrity profiles for one of the last glossy magazines left, while Zoey navigates the terrain at her nascent fashion startup, questioning her future with her fiancé.

Event Horizon
Seventeen-year-old Milde is from the Outskirts, a place beyond the mountains where the dirt is corpse-rich, where mothers and daughters, banished from society, make their living – without rights, access to care or legal status. But Milde refuses to accept the order of things and, together with two friends, she revolts against the government’s injustice. Arrested, imprisoned and tortured, Milde is eventually presented with a stark choice: a public execution, or participation in an experimental mission that will send her into space, into a black hole known as the Mass. She chooses the Mass, opting to face its fathomless depth and loneliness rather than hurt the morale of her weary community back home. Collapsing and expanding myth and reality, Event Horizon is an exquisite existential novel, dark as deep space, and woven with reflections on oppression, solidarity, trauma and loss.

The Illuminated Man
‘The best account yet of the life of one of the great English-language writers of the last century.’ – The New World'A brave and moving book' - Adam Sisman, the Guardian‘Fascinating...very timely ...will introduce new readers to a writer Priest rightly calls one of the greatest of the 20th century.’ – Sunday TimesThis book is about J. G. Ballard. This book is also about death, love and time travel. J. G. Ballard possessed one of the most astonishing imaginations of our age, and he had an intense and turbulent history– an experience famously fictionalised in Empire of the Sun. Ballard’s novels are among the finest and most unusual fiction that has ever been published. Whether in the hyper-surrealism of High-Rise or the erotic violence of Crash, he upended the morality and reality of our world. As a young writer, it had been Ballard’s stories, most of all, that had helped cement Christopher Priest’s passion for science fiction. He set out to write a biography that would make people understand what he already knew: that J. G. Ballard wasn’t just a cult writer — he was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. In 2024, Christopher died. He had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, the same disease that killed J. G. Ballard — the man whose biography he’d spent his last months working on. When Nina and Christopher first met, they bonded over their love for Ballard’s writing. When it became clear that Christopher would not have time to finish this biography, Nina promised him that she would complete it. If the book began as a tribute from Priest to Ballard, it is now also a love story written by Nina for Christopher. With access to never-before-seen material, The Illuminated Man explores the history and themes of Ballard’s life and – with Ballardian strangeness – celebrates and mourns for those that are gone.
