A world without women would bore me immensely. Moreover, if I were asked to draw a portrait of life, I would rather draw a woman than a man. However, if I were asked to represent death, I´m not sure it would be feminine.By François Bourgeon with Claude Lacroix:* The Cycle of Cyann 1 and 2 (12 Bis, 2012)* The Cycle of Cyann 3 and 4 (12 Bis, 2012)* The Cycle of Cyann 5 (12 Bis, 2012)* The Cycle of Cyann 6.The Soft Dawns of Aldalarann (Astiberri, 2014)In preparation by François Bourgeon:* The Passengers of the Wind.Integral Edition (Astiberri, December 2015). tradeinn Techinn
