"During the 1930s, Maud, an artist, discovers she has a psychic gift. The first signs manifest themselves in the royal gardens of the Trianon where gradually she understands that a woman from the beyond is attempting to communicate with her. The revelation is beyond belief: it is the ghost of Marie Antoinette appearing to her to share a terrible secret that has tormented her for centuries. After being guillotined, the Queen is said to have been thrown into a common grave but then exhumed and buried with her husband, Louis XVI, in the Saint-Denis basilica. Yet the ghost tells Maud that her remains are still in the pit, on which a chapel stands today. The queen asks Maud to move her body to the right place so she can finally find peace and no longer haunt people."

"In the American debut of his graphic memoir, Argentine cartoonist Ezequiel García explores the trials and tribulations of transitioning into his thirties as a working artist where the only thing more uncertain than the source of his next paycheck is the future of his hometown - Buenos Aires. García’s comics are influenced by the film, architecture, and rock music of the past, but that source of inspiration is getting harder to find when big banks are taking over historic theaters, cultural groups are facing hostile eviction, and modern art is at an aesthetic all-time low. While several relationships blossom, García struggles to accomplish his goal of getting published without becoming distracted by the accompanying drama. Like Lucy Knisley’s An Age of License spun with Moon and Ba’s Daytripper, Ezequiel García finds meaning in autobiography and embraces all the promise, panic, and post-punk hallucinations that come with it. Garcia’s visual storytelling alternates among finely-crafted, architecturally breathtaking depictions of Buenos Aires, revelatory, intimate selfexamination, and phantasmorgical metaphorical flights, drawn in nuanced, expressive, grungy brush strokes."
