The planet Zarkass is a vivid wasteland of strange alien flora and fauna settled by a colonial trading post run by the matriarchal Terran forces. Threatened by mysterious triangular warships, two Terran agents are sent into the jungle under the guise of “ecological study,” but are in fact after the wreckage of one of the triangular ships. These two agents are as dissimilar as they are incompatible: Louis, a delicate and refined scientific officer, and her security escort, Marcel, a scrapper as tough they come.

On a post-apocalyptic Earth, where mankind has regressed to a handful of primitive tribes hunting and foraging for a meager, oppressed existence, a lone black child, shunned by other members of his tribe, sets out on an epic journey to what used to be known as New York, land of the gods! Written by Stefan Wul, author of cult favorite Fantastic Planet, illustrated by acclaimed French comics artist Olivier Vatine, this unusual hero's journey is a memorable examination of a child's compassion -- and the human race's cruelty.
