Jens K. Styve, Dunce: Freewheeling
Proposing a Norwegian author is a real risk for a new publisher. Successful series in his country, discover Jens, Gustave, Brego in the Far North but we are far from a band of elves working for Santa Claus. Computer engineers are working on a useless application, a dog helps a college student write his presentation…. The absurd humour of writer and cartoonist Jens K. Styve expresses himself fully in these 270 short vignettes. The first pages are reminiscent of Garfield or Peanuts but make you want to discover the rest.
Jason Howard, Big Girls
In this fiction, it was not covid that hit the world but an epidemic turning men into giant monsters. These "Jacks" ravaging everything in their path, the authorities looked for a parade. They will be giant women trained from childhood in war. The cartoonist of Trees and Wolf-man launches for the first time into writing in this feminist tribute to the kaiju and offers a series whose pitch resonates with the actuality of feminist struggles. In May 
Enrico Orlandi, The Witch's Flower
Italian author Enrico Orlandi offers this first young adult story of 404 comics. Like all boys at the age of ten, Tami goes to the mountains in search of the Witch's Flower. This plant is so rare that it has become legendary but Tami must find it to become an adult but he starts badly by provoking villagers and the demon Yabra. In September 
Chris & Laura Samnee, Jonna
In Jonna, the reader will follow the adventures of a young girl in a world populated by titanic monsters. Rainbow goes looking for his sister Jonna and it will not be easy for him to avoid ending up in the stomach of a large monster. While we may think that it is an imaginary world, the famous cartoonist Chris Samnee (Daredevil, Fire Power) actually offers a totally personal project. He is in charge of the drawings alone but is associated with the scenario with his wife Laura. The couple wants to take advantage of this adventure story to draw inspiration from their two children, Jonna and Rainbow. This emphasis on girls is a touching societal and personal choice. In October 
Virgil Iscan & Alex Nieto, Big Under Catacombs
With two French authors, 404 comics proves its eclecticism. The project in production is still obscure as the place of the story that will take place in the depths of the catacombs of Paris. In 1774, the earth trembled and, due to the underground galleries, the rue d'enfer threatened to collapse. Nowadays, four friends decide to dive into the past of Paris.
Daniel Kraus & Chris Shehan, The Autumnal
The United States experienced the most beautiful autumn in America as Kat and her daughter Sybil have just arrived in the small town of Comfort Notch. The whole city is dressed in the blood colors of the season but doesn't this peaceful atmosphere hide a deadly reality? While writer Daniel Kraus writes the narrative well rooted in rural horror, Chris Shehan (ZhouRules) takes care of the drawings in this story far from superheroes. Welcoming a new player to the world of comics is always good news but when it happens after the covid crisis, it's even braver. Long live 404 comics and we will be delighted on JustFocus to share with you its next releases. You can find these outings on their website.
