This thread id dedicated to the comics that do not really fit a specific category due to their originality.
My recommendations are :
- Blacksad : one of the few Spanish comics. It is a police story, but all the characters have the face of animals (Blacksad, the hero is a cat).
- Le fils de la louve : An Italian student of archeology goes to Rome to study more about ancient Rome. After finding a strange sign of a female wolf with a broadsword in her mouth, he wakes up in Ancient Rome wearing Roman clothes and speaking Latin...
- Apocalyse Mania : contemporary action story with strong elements science-fiction (extraterrestrial powers), but also travel in time to the 18th century (only, so far).
- Le Décalogue : a Glasgow editor and would-be writer receives a 200-year-old manuscript from an old woman who held it from a French ancestor. The old woman dies family-less, and the editor discovers the master-piece of the Romantic French writer, a novel called "Nahik". The decalogue, the last will of Mohammed written on a camel bone, is mentioned and even illustrated. What is the mystery behind it ? Part of the originality is that the hero changes after each volume. The author has also requested no less than 10 cartoonists (normally there is only one, possibly two), so as to publish the whole 11-volume series within 2 years.
