Comme des geants publishes titles by creators from all over the world. We believe publishing translated books is important because of the narrative, aesthetic, conceptual, philosophical, and cultural richness they present. Books written by people who have been brought up in different cultures offer a variety of understandings about family, community, life, and so on. Comme des geants wants to present children with global literature, as well as a bigger framework for thinking about the world and our place within it. Why should adults be the only ones with access to global literature ? We believe a child’s curiosity extends well beyond their backyard and that we have to nurture it.

Through its multidisciplinary nature, ÉdAC promotes openness to various approaches to cultural creation and intervention. It aims to train creators, designers, comic book authors, graphic designers, museum and gallery professionals, skilled in working in the fields of arts and culture. To do this, ÉdAC brings together specialists, particularly in visual arts, comics, graphic design and museology, who are involved in research and creation approaches open to contemporary issues.
The comics program is aimed at students who demonstrate an interest in comics, wish to be specialists in this field and become well-rounded authors. The comics concentration aims to train well-rounded authors who master the multiple aspects of graphic narration (e.g. scriptwriting, drawing, graphic finishing).
Students will delve into all aspects of creating a comic from the first idea to the completion of a publication. Over the course of their studies, they will develop a reflection on this means of expression as well as a critical spirit on the contemporary production of comics. In addition to courses specific to the concentration, this training provides five enrichment courses in related disciplines, which allows students to acquire complementary skills.

Éditions 2024 first saw the light of day one rather carefree morning in 2010. Were we to attempt to sum up this ingenuous undertaking with a few intelligible propositions, the following might result: to create a catalogue of comics and art books, to discover and foster a stable of new talent with a consistent editorial identity, and to lovingly produce books that are art objects unto themselves.
What awaits us in 2024? The Earth may well explode: our books, luminous meteors that they are, will be scattered to the four corners of the Milky Way…

Exemplaire is an alternative publishing house that puts artists back at the heart of production, offering them greater autonomy and a higher percentage of the revenues generated by their books. Its business model differs from conventional publishing structures in that it is essentially based on participatory financing. Book production is conditioned by a pre-sale system, in which the author mobilizes his network of readers to reach his financial target.
The project began when Lisa Mandel, an author who had been published for twenty years in the traditional publishing circuit, decided, for the time being, to try self-publishing.

Organized since 2010 in Cameroon by the A3 collective and the Trait noir association, the Mboa BD festival (Cameroon International Comics Festival) was created by a group of comics enthusiasts with a passion for the image industry, who share a common goal: to make Cameroon in particular, and Africa in general, a land of comics. Much more than a simple festival, it is first and foremost an international gathering of all those involved in the comics industry, including authors, publishers, investors, printers, and of course the audience. Over the years, the Mboa BD Festival has set up training courses to enable artists to learn more about the basics of the author's trade, and to understand the current issues surrounding comics and their importance in the process of acquiring reading skills.
In addition to this, the festival is a great promotional asset for all the players involved, as it provides great visibility for all the growing comic book production in Cameroon, with the aim of creating a genuine cultural industry in which professionals know each other and work together to offer quality comics to a public in high demand. The Mboa BD Festival therefore is an important platform for exchanges on comics and on the various professions involved: graphic design, video games, cartooning, cinema and publishing. A wide range of activities, competitions and conferences are organized each year in Yaoundé and Douala to ensure that the event is always a memorable one.

Acoustics is historically a multi-disciplinary science that covers many fields of study, and whose scope and importance are often misunderstood. This science is often associated with music, but in our environment, noise and sound signals are omnipresent. The fields of acoustics that play a role in our daily lives and society are numerous: electroacoustics, biomedical acoustics and underwater acoustics. All of these fields and applications are little-known. The aim of the Fantastique Acoustique comic strip collection is to better communicate these issues to the general public, and to describe the work carried out by those involved in acoustics research in Quebec (three other Quebec universities – McGill, ÉTS, UQAR).
