Sylvain Coissard, Exclusive Agent for International Publishing and Audiovisual Rights "Xavier Coste's masterpiece: incredible original story, amazing artwork. Profound thoughts on difference, humanity, and art. And a page-turner, too. With splendid depictions of NYC in the 1900's."

After 1984 (Prix BD Fnac France Inter 2022), hailed by critics and readers alike (41,000 copies sold), Xavier Coste proves that he’s as good at creating powerful original work as he is at adapting masterpieces. This tragic story follows "freaks" from the golden age of the circus sideshow in Europe and the U.S. in the early 20th century to their wane with the advent of movies and TV. With scathing dialogue and the hero’s heartbreaking loneliness, this cruel tale that recalls The Elephant Man will take you from laughter to tears.
