Written by Jean Van Hamme. Art and cover by Dany.

A comic book without a hero. No inevitable, strong, handsome, righteous main character, just ordinary people.

That's Dany and Van Hamme's self-imposed challenge in this story of a band of survivors marooned in the jungle. A plane from a South American company crashes in the jungle. Only half of the passengers and crew survive. Some businessmen, a university professor, a steward, an aging movie star, a banana republic general, a young boy and his nanny. All these varied personalities will have to find a way to unite and work together to survive. But who should they listen to?

Who should they follow? Who can they trust? And is relief even on its way?

Written by Thomas Von Steinaecker. Art by Barbara Yelin.

Gerda stands at the window of her nursing home, looking up at the stars. A question has been haunting her for years, but until now she's managed to avoid it: Has her life been a happy one?

Gerda remembers her life as a bespectacled schoolgirl, bullied for being smart. She remembers the time she spent as an aspiring astrophysicist. And she remembers, most powerfully, that one summer, the summer of her life, when she was forced to make the most difficult decision of all: between her career and her relationship.

The Summer of Her Life is a poetic, touching, and profound graphic novel that grapples with life's big questions.
