The choice sest focused on the excellent Jean-Yves Ferri (whose collaboration with Manu Larcenet on the series "Back to Earth" was great) for the scenario and Didier Conrad, unknown artist about me, though nevertheless author of numerous strips comic from the early 80's glimpsed coverage, all hopes were: drawing seemed faithful, and the name of Ferri promised a serious humorous renewal.

Yet despite this disappointment, we begin to want the next book to be of their own making.
