The Girl Who Draws on Whales is set in a fantasy world, several centuries after ''The Great Flood.'' Sister Wangi and younger brother Banyu live in a sea-village. Wangi has a special bond with the Great Whales that visit their sea-village and they allow Wangi to draw on their backs. Sometimes they return with new drawings on them. Wangi believes that there are other sea-villages or island settlements scattered around and that they are sending her messages but, none of the elders listen to her. One day, a new whale arrives in the village alone, wounded, and dying - this whale has a new drawing on her back that doesn''t look like the previous drawings. Inspired by this mystery, Wangi vows to investigate. Although forbidden by her parents and the village elders, Wangi - along with a stowaway, who happens to be her brother Banyu - embark on a wondrous journey to investigate where the drawings are coming from only to find much more than they were expecting.

Eva is a brilliant Psychiatrist, but this is no simple story of a clever shrink helping a patient dissect their problems. No, this story is about Eva in the throes of a bipolar episode, navigating her own spiralling mental health as she is pulled down a scandalous rabbit hole when one of her first patients and only friends has invited her to the reading of her grandmother''s living will. The Monturos are a wine-making empire revered worldwide and their matriarch has organised a party at their villa to discuss her will and the family''s future. Their Dynasty is riddled with scandal, which is why the youngest heir, Penelope Monturo, invited the brilliant doctor along to help her through the drama. When Eva finds the families'' current patriarch dead the night before the will reading, she finds herself catapulted into a web of intrigue and deception. With her name on the suspect list, Eva transforms into an amateur sleuth out of obsession more than self-defence. Guided by the voices of her dead relatives who seem to haunt her wherever she goes, she takes fate in her own hands and does all she can to solve the mystery of who murdered Penelope''s uncle. An oddly heartwarming murder mystery from one of Europe''s most exciting cartoonist, Jordi Lafebre, author of the critically acclaimed and Eisner-nominated Always Never.
