Born in Paris and spending part of his youth in West Africa, Alagbé went on to become a significant contributor to the French comics scene, but has remained largely unknown in the USA – until now!  In addition to producing his graphically bold and narratively original comics, Alagbé co-founded  – with Olivier Marboeuf – the influential graphics/comics magazine Le Cheval sans Tête ("The Headless Horse"), the publishing house Amok and the publishing group Fréon.  In addition to its titular centerpiece, this collection presents five other original tales, each with its own unique approach. Nice!
