Martha could have chosen another man. In that dump where she grew up, they were all falling at her feet. Because of her legs, actually - dancer's legs. But she loved Joe Telenko, a guy who drank too much and drove too fast. And ever since the accident, it's over. Just like life. These days, Martha chews over her hatred in a wheelchair. While Joe slogs around New York's shadiest neighborhoods in his taxi, she creeps around the house, rummaging through his things and reading his journal, just to get an idea of what his life is like.
Nothing particularly surprising: some girl he hooks up with when he's got enough cash to get her drunk, visits to Arthur the medic, a tachycardia problem and a few notes like "I'm going to kill her." That's right. Joe wants Martha's head on a platter, and Martha herself would like to see Joe croak. The only reason they don't separate is because each of them hopes to one day gaze down on the corpse of the other...

À propos des auteurs

Né à Bruxelles en 1957, Philippe Tome aura aimé la bande dessinée avant même d'en avoir jamais lue ! Il a un peu plus de cinq ans lorsque, à la suite d'une opération aux yeux qui le laisse temporairement aveugle, on lui lit Le Sceptre d'Ottokar et Les Extraordinaires Aventures de Corentin Feldoë. Des années plus tard, renouant avec ses émotions d'enfant, il abandonnera d'un seul coup ses études d'animation cinéma, de communication graphique et de journalisme pour se consacrer à la bande dessinée et au scénario. Avec Janry, il anime la série Spirou et Fantasio puis imagine Le Petit Spirou.
pour Warnant puis Gazzotti. Il crée Soda, le pasteur policier new-yorkais. Avec Darasse, il plonge dans les eaux turquoises d'un lagon peuplé de naturistes : Les Minoukinis. Seule infidélité, jusqu'ici, à une production placée sous le signe de la fantaisie : Sur la route de Selma (dessins de Berthet), publiée dans la collection " Aire libre ". Confessant travailler parfois sur cinq scénarios en même temps sans se mélanger les plumes, il écrit le plus souvent dans l'atelier où ont choisi de dessiner ensemble plusieurs auteurs avec qui il collabore. Il sacrifie à sa passion du voyage plusieurs fois par an pour ramener des continents visités les émotions des prochaines créations.
Lorsqu'il imagine les gags du Petit Spirou, il s'inspire autant des aventures de sa fille Zoé que de ses propres souvenirs d'enfance. En 1997, il se lance dans une trilogie très, très noire (dessins Ralph Meyer) : Berceuse Assassine. Son travail a été plus d'une fois récompensé : il a, entre autres, reçu trois Alph'Art au Salon International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême. Born in Paris in 1971, Ralph Meyer was very young when he first started to cultivate his taste for drawing and stories.
When the time came to think about what to do with his life, it seemed natural to choose comic books. As an insatiable young reader, he enjoyed the slapstick humor of "Gaston" and the adventures of "Blake and Mortimer" just as much as the existential problems of tight-clad superheroes populating the "Strange" comics monthly. His discovery of the work of Giraud (aka Moebius) during his adolescence would later have a considerable influence on his own work.
At 20, he left Paris and moved to Belgium to take illustration classes at the Saint-Luc Institute in Liège. When he finished his three-year course, he began approaching publishers with various different projects, but to no avail. In 1996, he decided to present his work to writer Philippe Tome. Tome offered Meyer a particularly sinister plot to work with. A year later, they released the first volume of the "Berceuse Assassine" trilogy (1997 Dargaud, 2016 Europe Comics, "Lethal Lullaby"). In the meantime, he founded with a few other authors the "Parfois j'ai dur" workshop.
This was where he produced "Des Lendemains sans nuages" (Le Lombard; "Clear Blue Tomorrows, " Cinebook) which he co-illustrated with Bruno Gazzotti, with Fabien Vehlmann writing the script. Next up, still with Vehlmann, he started the sci-fi series "IAN" (Dargaud; Cinebook in English) which narrates the adventures of a being of artificial intelligence, complete with human skin and nerves. In 2008, he and Xavier Dorison released the first volume of the "XIII Mystery" collection (Dargaud, Cinebook in English), for which he was awarded the Brussels 'St.
Michel' prize for illustration. 2010 saw quite the graphic turnaround for Meyer, with "Page Noire, " a one-shot scripted by Denis Lapière and Frank Giroud. In 2012, he and Xavier Dorison teamed up once again for the Nordic landscapes of the "Asgard" diptych, soon followed by a third collaboration on the on-going series "Undertaker, " which continues to enjoy unprecedented success (2016, Europe Comics).
Ralph Meyer lives in Liège with his family and his cat Microbe.
