Un paisible village niché au coeur de la forêt anglaise, non loin d’un mur mystérieux, infranchissable… mais pas pour Tristan, qui a juré de rapporter à la belle Victoria une étoile filante tombée de l’autre côté. Il va y découvrir un pays magique habité par des fées, un monde d’enchantements, de sorcières, de licornes et de princes sanguinaires où jeunesse, pouvoir et amour se conquièrent à coups de sortilèges…

Stardust

"Nobody Owens" (traducibile con "Non appartiene a nessuno", N.d.R.) rimane orfano in seguito all'assassinio della sua famiglia per mano di "Jack". Lo spirito della madre, tuttavia, lo affida ai fantasmi di due coniugi defunti, che lo crescono in un cimitero insieme ad altre creature soprannaturali. Il piccolo sviluppa poteri speciali e cresce insieme alla sua nuova famiglia. La sua famiglia sono gli Owens, anche se gli impediscono di passare il confine tra il cimitero e la Città Vecchia, per un motivo a Nobody sconosciuto. Il motivo, che si svelerà in seguito, è assai strano: una confraternita, detta "La Confraternita dei Jack", attiva da lungo tempo, aveva interrogato, nell'epoca egizia, un indovino, che aveva loro rivelato che un bambino avrebbe varcato il confine tra vivi e morti. La Confraternita aveva inviato, secoli dopo, il più sveglio dei suoi uomini, Jack Frost, a uccidere la famiglia e il bambino. Ma Nobody gli sfugge e scoprirà essere il prescelto... Riuscirà, insieme a Silas e alla signorina Lupescu, a sconfiggere la Confraternita? E dopo vorrà tornare fra i suoi simili, abbandonando i fantasmi a lui assai cari?

L'Étrange Vie de Nobody Owens: L'intégrale (Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, #1-2)

Morphée a accompli l'irréparable, et déjà, les conséquences s'en font sentir. Secoué par un cataclysme, l¹univers tremble et se convulse. Pour échapper à ces violents soubresauts du temps et de la météo, des voyageurs venus de mondes et d'époques disparates trouvent refuge pour la nuit dans une étrange auberge à la fin des mondes et attendent l'éclaircie en échangeant des histoires de toutes sortes, qui portent peut-être en elles l'avenir de Morphée et des Infinis. En contraste avec ces événements, deux facettes exotiques du Sandman, deux interventions extraordinaires dans les siècles passés : la Bagdad des contes d¹Haroun Al-Rachid et le Japon féodal, où le Rêve se mêle aux légendes et à la magie. Une dernière respiration de l'histoire avant la conclusion de la série.

 Joey Harker is the kind of guy who gets lost in his own house. But one day, Joey gets really lost. He walks straight out of his world and into another dimension.

 This walk between worlds makes Joey prey to armies of magic and science, both determined to harness Joey's power to travel between dimensions. The only thing standing in their way is Joey - or to be more precise an army of Joeys, all from different dimensions.

 Now Joey must make a choice: return to the life he knows or join the battle.

Interworld

The Sandman Tome 2

A peine sorti de prison, Ombre rencontre Voyageur, un personnage intrigant. Dieu antique, comme le suggèrent les indices énigmatiques qu'il sème à longueur de temps, fou furieux ou bien simple arnaqueur ? En quoi consiste le travail qu'il propose à Ombre ? En acceptant d'entrer à son service, ce dernier plonge au cœur d'un conflit qui le dépasse, opposant héros mythologiques de l'Ancien Monde et nouvelles idoles profanes de l'Amérique. Mais comment savoir qui tire véritablement les ficelles : ces entités légendaires saxonnes issues de l'aube des temps ou les puissances du consumérisme et de la technologie ? A moins que ce ne soit le mystérieux M Monde.
