Attention, énorme scoop : on peut être supporter inconditionnel de son club et manier joyeusement l'autodérision. PoF le prouve dans une BD décalée et hilarante qui montre un OM tel que vous ne l'avez jamais vu... et pourtant plus vrai que nature. Un trait très simple, mais qui fait mouche à chaque fois ; un sens de l'observation hors du commun ; un vrai talent pour la dérision et l'autodérision : PoF, c'est Marcel Gottlieb avec un maillot de l'OM. Amoureux de l'OM depuis l'enfance, autoproclamé supporter inconditionnel, le dessinateur raconte en 96 pages joyeuses et hilarantes le quotidien des supporters de l'OM et les coulisses du club: président, staff, joueurs, arbitres... tous passent sous son scalpel à la fois tendre et sans pitié. De même qu'"un supporter ne s'épanouit jamais autant que dans les râleries d'après-défaite", PoF n'est jamais meilleur que quand son club vacille. Mais quand il égratine, moque ou taquine, c'est toujours avec autant d'amour que de talent. Et du talent, il en faut pour être, comme lui, reconnu et plébiscité aussi bien par les ultras que par l'institution elle-même, pour laquelle il travaille régulièrement.

From adapter and illustrator Gou Tanabe, comes H.P Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness . This manga adaptation of some of Lovecraft's best stories is perfect for manga fans and Lovecraft fans alike. With art resembling more of a western comic book, this book lends itself well as a 'gateway' for those who are looking to get into manga! January 25, 1931: an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica...to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead. Some are hideously mangled, as if in rage--some have been dissected in a curious and cold-blooded manner. Some are missing. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby...for under its five points is a grave--and what lies beneath is not human! At the Mountains of Madness is a journey into the core of Lovecraft's mythos--the deep caverns and even deeper time of the inhospitable continent where the secret history of our planet is preserved--amidst the ruins of its first civilization, built by the alien Elder Things with the help of their bioengineered monstrosities, the shoggoths. Since it was first published in Astounding Stories during the classic pulp era, At the Mountains of Madness has influenced both horror and science fiction worldwide!
