Bat Lash #1

In "Le cowboy et le faisan," Bat Lash—florid hat, fondness for fine meals, and a habit of declaring he hates violence—finds himself in the dusty town of Welcome after fleeing an irate lover and shooting a pheasant for dinner. As he hunts for ingredients to prepare the bird in aspic, he stumbles into a string of showdowns, each more absurd than the last, leaving the town cleaner but not necessarily safer. When the cook serves him the meal he’s been craving, the truth behind the feast begins to unfold—leaving Bat to decide whether justice or appetite comes first.

In "Frère ennemi," two twin brothers, separated by the sinking of the Titanic and raised in different worlds, are reunited as young men—only to discover they now fly for opposing sides in World War I. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story explores the quiet tragedy of fate when brotherhood collides with war.

In the tense atmosphere of Elmond University, brothers Don and Hank Hall find themselves on opposite sides of a campus divide—Don, the pacifist, and Hank, the believer in strength. As protests erupt and police move in, their clash over ideals spills into personal conflict. Meanwhile, across town at the courthouse, a quiet moment unfolds that may hold the key to what comes next.
