They found the car | 2006
32-page 2-color saddlestitched.
Ignatz collection.Second volume of the “Wish You Were Here”series.
Publisher : Fantagraphics

A late-night telephone call about a mysterious car which went missing seven years ago and has now been recovered causes a chain reaction of violence in this all-new comics novelette from Gipi; ultimately this crime story (which is not so much a "sequel" to The Innocents as another story set in the same milieu with a different cast of characters) turns into a tale of religion and hypocrisy.


Notes for a war story
128 pages.
To be published by First Second

It’s the war, we don’t know where, we don’t know when, but it looks furiously like the Balkans. The same hills on fire under the low sky, the same militiamen crossing the plain, the same teenagers trapped in a conflict which exceeds them, as it exceeds the understanding. These three kids are going to play the tough guys for a war dog who runs especially for himself. Until they become nasty.

But the world, outside, it knocks to the doors and forces them to face the unforeseen, the domestic relationships, the society rules. And the troubles will arrive, in the story, as they arrive in the life of each of us. The teenagers will have to face them, to choose their own way, and continue to advance despite all.
