"Imagine a world where everything that is written comes to life": The French manga City Hall turned this premise into an incredible epic. In an alternate 20th century where writing has been forbidden because it had become dangerous, Jules Vernes and Arthur Conan Doyle help the police of City Hall investigate Black Fowl, a criminal who seems to have got papers out again to make the ink flow and spawning phantasmagorical creatures called papercuts… Find the steampunk saga in all its forms (graphic novels, games) in our shop!
