by Thierry Smolderen, Philippe Marcele (Illustrator)

Overview

Two young women lose their families in a grisly holdup. Heartbroken and vengeful, they decide to take matters into their own hands.

A violent and thrilling feminist tale, freely inspired by the affair of the mad killers of Walloon Brabant, which hit the Belgian crime chronicles of the early 1980s.

About the Author

Philippe Marcelé was born in Bordeaux, France. He was a student of fine arts there and in Paris, and received his Masters in national education. He illustrated his first story in Charlie Mensuel (Charlie Monthly). After working for the French-Belgian comic magazine, L'Écho des Savanes, Marcelé began a long collaboration with French magazine, Pilote. Among his first published stories were Macbeth, Après-midi au cirque (An Afternoon at the Circus) and Lolla. A few years later, Marcelé abandoned the fantastic for political fiction, starting with Capahuchos, then Cothias, and later two volumes of Signe du Taureau (Sign of the Taurus). He then collaborated with Thierry Smolderen, who was inspired by the blood-crazed killers of Brabant to write Dark Rage (Colère Noire), a thriller as gray as a November sky in the suburbs of Brussels.
Born in 1954 in Brussels, Thierry Smolderen is a comic book scholar and writer, including the science fiction series Gipsy. He spent the 1970s studying film animation at La Cambre in Brussels, as well as dabbling in theatre and music. It wasn’t until the mid-1980s that he launched his career writing comic books, alongside his work as a comic book critic, and essayist. He is a teacher at École des Beaux-Arts of Angoulême, and devotes his time to creating Coconino World, a webzine he animates with friends and former students. As a comic books historian, he wrote Naissances de la bande dessinée (2009), about the "platinum age" of comics.
