FANTAGAS Volume 2

This is Carlo Nine's return to characters he created in 1995. Fantagas is Carlo's take on the suave thief Fantomas, a classic character in French pulp fiction. In this volume, Fantagas is pitted against the feline Siboney, whose extreme sensuality is enough to bring a carved chair to animate life merely to pursue her.

On the back cover, (translated in English) by The Louis XV Armchair - Using doubt, Descartes had destroyed or at least left aside, all types of certainties. However, there was one who was able to resist all the attacks, something that is impossible to doubt: the existence of my own thought. As long as I doubt, I cannot doubt the fact that I am doubting, and as doubt is a form of thought, I cannot doubt that I think, and so here is the first irremovable truth. The reality of my own thoughts. So, the first truth that manages to overcome doubt is "cogito ergo sum" (I think I exist). And it is not a simple suspicion, it is the conviction that my thoughts and my existence are perceived at the same time. This must be why a poor Louis XV armchair like me, condemned to immobility, feels in his old carved wood the sap that circulates, and that its upholstery goes into erection as soon as the Siboney cat marauds around. If Inspector Pernot can't stand this situation, I'm sorry for him. Matter sometimes seeks unfathomable paths to accomplish its purposes, surely driven by this great cartoonist called "God'."
