Atomic Empire

As Paul's case becomes famous, Gibbon Zelbub, a well-known Pentagon and American industry consultant, begins to take an interest in him and brings him to a Vermont lab. There, "the man who communicates with the future" will undergo a hypnotic experience that will make him commit an unforgivable sin and break the oath to his friend Zarth Arn, hero of the Galactic Empire.

In this astonishing and captivating original graphic novel, Thierry Smolderen and Alexandre Clerisse immerse themselves in the fluid and aerodynamic imagery of 1950's Sci-Fi. Inspired by a real psychological case, the story is both a psychiatric enigma and a space opera. A beautiful and contemporary tale exploring all the possibilities of the form, playing as much on the brilliantly evocative images as on the plot.
