Published by Editions Dupuis, the new album of the comic strip Louca[1], is available in bookstores in Quebec and across Canada.
Since he created and imagined the universe of the series Louca in 2013, Bruno Dequier[2] has evolved its characters and in particular, that of Louca who has gained maturity over the albums.
Should we remember that the young man was lazy at school and awkward with girls. Thanks to Nathan (his ghost friend), he performed on his football team with the mission of building a team of professional players.
The story
Presented in three acts (As quickly as possible, But how?, Between life and death), Louca’s twelfth album, marks the teenager’s big return to the football field in the company of his old friends.
As a reminder, Louca had left the country for Japan due to embezzlement committed by her father. Except that after a few years, he chose to return to the country, even if nothing will ever be the same again.
We saw it during the eleventh album (The Griffin Cup), Mr. Kikov, the coach of the Phoenix team was against Louca’s entry into the sports team, in the middle of the semi-final against the Tigres team.
With the help of Nathan’s ghost, Louca will demonstrate to everyone that her level of play is simply exceptional. He is now part of the Phoenix team which will reach the final of the Griffon Cup.
