East Berlin, summer of 1989: Mirco Watzke is caught in a bind. Usually a model student, the seventh grader has got himself in trouble with a couple of bullies from the Free German Youth, and the only person who can help is the mysterious new kid in school... Vivid and funny, tender and nuanced, "Kinderland" chronicles East Germany's final months as seen through the eyes of a child. It's a story of friendship, courage, and trust, but also of growing up between Young Pioneers and the church, fathers who "disappear," and a ping-pong tournament interrupted by the fall of the Berlin Wall. Winner of the Max & Moritz Award for Best Comic at the 2014 Erlangen International Comics Festival.
"What... a... darn... stupid... contraption!" The 1st Columbia San Francisco Bicycle Race seems like the perfect opportunity for Albert Overman to impress the nation with his revolutionary design. But when a rival manufacturer hires two goons to intercept him, it`s up to Lucky Luke to save the day once more. The lonesome cowboy will find himself swapping stirrups for pedals as he heads west in the saddle of Overman`s invention. Will he make it to the starting line in time, or will the dawning of the modern age be stopped by ruthless thugs, stubborn hillbillies, and wary Apache? And what will Jolly Jumper think of his cowboy changing steeds?
"Wat... een... verdraaid... stom... ding!" De 1st Columbia San Francisco
Bicycle Race is voor Albert Overman de ideale gelegenheid om de hele
natie omver te blazen met zijn revolutionair design. Wanneer een
concurrent twee bandieten inhuurt om hem te dwarsbomen, moet Lucky
Luke alweer voor reddende engel spelen. De lonesome cowboy ruilt zijn
stijgbeugels voor een keer in voor pedalen en zet op het zadel van Overmans uitvinding koers naar het westen. Staat hij op tijd aan de
start, of wordt de moderne tijd brutaal een halt toegeroepen door
meedogenloze bandieten, koppige boerenpummels en voorzichtige
Apaches? En wat denkt Jolly Jumper over het stalen ros van zijn
cowboy?
