Publisher Description

Ivan, Leila, Camille, Terry, Dodzi. Five children who have never met each other, who live very different lives in a small city. Then, one day, they all wake up in their empty homes, walk out into empty streets and wander through the empty city - No adults, no other children; just the five of them eventually finding each other, and forced to band together to face the inevitable questions - and the dangers of a modern city suddenly emptied of its inhabitants.

Author Biography

Fabien Vehlmann got into comics by flooding Spirou Magazine with proposed scripts until he was accepted. Since then he's proven his mettle with such hits as "Green Manor" and a "Spirou" one-off, before becoming in 2009 the new official team for Dupuis' flagship series with Yoann. Bruno Gazzotti started by doing odd jobs at Spirou Magazine, eventually becoming Tome and Janry's assistant on "Little Spirou". In 1990 he takes over the art on "SODA", a highly successful series that will make him a household name.
