FRNK 2 — Trial by Fire

Life among the cavefolk isn’t easy. Everything they do is gross, from eating raw meat to skipping showers. Thirteen year-old Frank, lost in their strange world and cut off easy pizza and other modern conveniences, tries to invent fire, but his good intentions might just blow up in his face. For one, smoke inhalation can be deadly. Who’d have thunk proper ventilation was so vital to cave living? Then there’s that rival clan, plotting to develop a firearm… Throw in a tribe of bloodthirsty bunnies that kill with cuteness, and you’ve got another zany, zippy adventure in prehistoric times.

FRNK 3 — The Sacrifice

In a world where meat means survival, Frank can’t seem to catch a break—or an animal. He just can’t bring himself to kill a fellow creature. Just looking into a baby mammoth’s big eyes is enough to turn him vegetarian. But while out looking for fruit to eat, he runs afoul of an old nemesis: the wily Leonard, who once stole his Swiss Army knife (and is still puzzling over it). Will Frank’s new mammoth friend save him from Leonard’s clutches? Will Leonard save them all from the common cold? And just why is their forbidden fruit forbidden?

It all starts in a school playground, and then it moves to a classroom, where Larcenet’s superb graphic camera zooms in on two ten-year-old kids: Gildas and Martina.

As far as they’re concerned, their entire world is made up of false appearances, and they’re soon to be the victims of a huge intergalactic plot! You read, you smile, you snigger. But then suddenly, it’s all turned on its head…“Cosmonauts of the Future is a fun and surprising book that deserves a look if you want something in the sci-fi arena that’s a little more humorous.” Pipeline Comics

But as it turns out, knowing the truth about their past isn’t much help to Gildas and Martina as they go about their daily life, between school problems and family crises. Not to mention the imminent arrival of a vessel full of space vampires…
