In THE LIBRARY MULE OF CORDOBA: The Caliphate of Al-Andalus, after a great period of peace and learning, faces a power struggle after the death of the Caliph al-Hakam II. In exchange for the support of radical clergymen, the vizier Amir seeks to burn the books of Cordoba's famed library to ash. The night before the biggest bonfire ever, the head librarian, a chubby eunuch named Tarid, gathers up all the books he can and loads them onto the back of a passing mule. He takes off in the hopes of saving what he can of universal knowledge.

In THE OLD GEEZERS (VOL. 1-2): Lupano tells the story of three septuagenarians who have been friends since childhood: Antoine, Emile, and Pierrot. They have each taken different paths in life, made different choices, and started (or not) their own families. The series moves back and forth between the 50s and the present day, telling the tragic-comic tale of our time, with all of its social, political, and cultural upheavals!
