Halvtreds år efter at Linda og Valentin første gang så dagens lys i det legendariske franske tegneserieugeblad Pilote, har en række tegnere fået chancen for at lave deres egne personlige hyldester til serien og dens ophavsmænd. Indfaldsvinklerne er lige så mange som antallet af medvirkende, og bidragene veksler mellem at være muntre, personlige, poetiske, ironiske, gådefulde og vemodige. Den danske udgave af jubilæumssamlingen indeholder ud over mange originale franske bidrag også helt nytegnede serier af sytten danske og svenske tegneserieskabere. Lars Horneman, Peter Kielland-Brandt, Henning Kure, Peter Madsen, Thomas Nøhr, Rune Ryberg, Peter Snejbjerg, Karoline Stjernfelt og Thomas Thorhauge har leveret de danske indslag. Spændvidden og opfindsomheden er imponerende stor, og fælles for samtlige medvirkende er, at de på forskellig vis har været inspireret af Jean-Claude Mézières’ og Pierre Christins banebrydende tegneserie.

"Sharp, funny, and heart-stoppingly honest." --Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth ExtinctionTHE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERA Next Big Idea Club's Must-Read of March 2025 - A She Reads Most Anticipated Book of 2025A rich and colorful French graphic novel that has become a word-of-mouth sensation and transformed the way hundreds of thousands of people think about climate change. There is no green energy. Nor pink, nor black. Nor clean nor dirty, for that matter. In this intelligent, eye-opening, and witty international bestseller, an eminent climate expert takes a graphic novelist on a journey to understand the profound changes that our planet is experiencing. The scientist, Jean-Marc Jancovici, explains the workings of superpowers and history; oil and climate; ecology, economics, and energy flows. He describes, in short, the world we live in today--a world whose future is deeply uncertain. The artist, Christophe Blain, intently listens and draws. As the pair come face to face with global warming, they--along with Mother Nature and a cast of others--create a picture of what the solution to our predicament actually looks like. It's not just about switching to renewable energy sources. It's about rethinking everything: our energy supply, our economies, and our whole world. We're left with a vision of the future in which food, education, housing, transport, and communities--in other words, all of us--come together and, with a few technological fixes, work to create a world without end.

THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*A Financial Times Most Anticipated Book of 2024*“Can a graphic novel save the planet? Perhaps.” – Elizabeth KolbertIs this the end of the world? Perhaps not. In this eye-opening, hopeful and hugely entertaining bestseller, a climate expert takes a leading graphic novelist on a journey to understand the profound changes that our planet is undergoing. The scientist, Jean-Marc Jancovici, walks us through just about everything: from the innermost workings of our minds to toothbrushes, office jobs, and oil; ancient history and modern geopolitics; economics and ecology; the unfolding climate crisis and its consequences for us all. As he describes the world we live in - a world whose future is deeply uncertain - the artist, Christophe Blain, listens and draws. Coming face to face with global warming, the unlikely duo - along with Mother Nature, Pop Eye and Jiminy Cricket, among others - create a picture of what the solution to our predicament actually looks like. Yes, we have a fossil-fuel problem, but simply switching to renewable energy won’t fix it. We can and must rethink everything: our energy supply, our economies and our whole world. They leave us with an inspiring vision of the future in which food, education, housing, transport and communities - in other words, all of us - work together and, with a few technological fixes, succeed in creating a world without end.“Masterful and unforgettable... A testament to the power of the graphic novel" - Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis“READ. THIS. BOOK.”- Eliza Griswold, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalistOver 1 million copies sold since publication, The Guardian, October 2024

Efter at have oplevet en ekstrem varm sommerdag på vej ud af Paris, beslutter en af Frankrigs mest læste tegneserieskabere, Christophe Blain, sig for at finde ud af, hvad der er op og ned på klimakrisen. Han har aldrig for alvor sat sig ind i emnet og opsøger derfor en fremtrædende specialist i energispørgsmål, Jean-Marc Jancovici. Mødet udvikler sig til en tegnet samtalebog mellem en undrende og spørgende lægmand og en eftertænksom og besvarende ekspert om, hvor alvorligt det står til med klimaforandringerne og vores samfundsafhængighed af rigelige mængder energi." Hvis verden skal bestå" er informationsmættet, underholdende, tankevækkende og sætter spørgsmålstegn ved indgroede forestillinger om klimaet, dets årsager og virkninger, og hvad vi skal gøre, for at løse det.

In the sprawling world of Dungeon, the Early Years subseries relates the origins of it. In this first story, you will see the Keeper barely an adult leaving his family to go find fortune in a time of chaos and darkness... Fun, adventure, suspense and... wry satire. In the second story which happens quite a few years later, he's married and a poor husband, worse even, a poor lover, until Alexandra plots to gain him back. Cloak and dagger with romantic bravura! And you thought he didn't have it in him. Art by Eisner nominated Blain (Gus) and story by legendary Trondheim and Eisner nominated Sfar (Rabbi's Cat).

Merirosvolaivan maalari palaa vihdoin kuivalle maalle. Entiset ystävät ja kihlattu ovat kadonneet jäljettömiin, mutta uudet kohtaamiset odottavat. Rouva Tarton, muistatteko minut? Isaac Sofer, maalari. Muistatteko? Etsin nuorta, punatukkaista naista. Alicea, rouva. Etsin Alicea! Neljännessä Maalari ja merirosvo -albumissa Isaac jättää maailman meret ja palaa kuivalle maalle. Hän saapuu ystävänsä Lunnas-Jackin kanssa Pariisiin löytääkseen entiset taiteilijaystävänsä ja ennen kaikkea kihlattunsa Alicen. He ovat kuitenkin kadonneet jäljettömiin maalarin inspiraation lailla. Isaac maleksii epätoivoisena pääkaupungin kaduilla ja notkuu Jackin kanssa pahamaineisissa baareissa, kunnes epäilyttävä varaskopla pestaa heidät riveihinsä...

Köyhä Isaac työskentelee maalarina merirosvolaivassa, jotta hän voisi rikastua ja mennä naimisiin rakastamansa naisen kanssa. Tilanne laivalla muuttuu katastrofaaliseksi, kun kapteeni syyttää Isaacia epäonnen tuomisesta matkaan ja alkaa taistelu, jossa suuri osa merirosvoista heittää henkensä. Isaac päätyy vastaantulevan kauppalaivan kyytiin eikä tahdo enää maalata, vaan haikailee piirtämiensä kauniiden naisten luokse. Maalarin morsiankin lienee jo suunnannut sydämensä muualle.
