The Grande Odalisque
2012
In this graphic novel, two women art thieves bring in a third wheel for their biggest caper yet.
Alex and Carole, friends since childhood, are now (literal) partners in crime. But the heist - to steal the Ingres painting The Grande Odalisque from the Louvre in Paris - is too much for the duo to handle, so they bring in Clarence, a bureaucrat's son with a price on his head by a Mexican drug cartel and, more importantly, an arms dealer. Next is Sam, a stunt motorcyclist and boxer by trade, who proves trigger happy with tranquilizer darts. Using soda can smoke bombs, rocket launchers, and hang gliders, Alex, Carole, and Sam set off a set of circumstances that results in a battle with the French Special Forces - and their partnership, which was on the rocks, will never be the same again. Ruppert and Mulot, two of the most innovative comic creators in the world, team up with multiple Angouleme prize winner Bastien Vives to bring you this impossibly funny, violent, and sexy action-packed thriller.

Olympia
2015
Alex, Sam et Carole sont les braqueuses les plus sexy que la terre (et la bande dessinée) ait portées. Drôles de dames des temps modernes, elles peuvent accomplir les plus grands coups et ne reculent devant aucun obstacle.
Après "La Grande Odalisque", prix Landerneau 2012, les auteurs à succès Bastien Vivès (Polina, Last Man) et Ruppert & Mulot ("La technique du périnée") redonnent vie à leurs héroïnes favorites.
On les avait quittées en mauvaise posture après le périlleux cambriolage du Louvre et la disparition de Carole. Pour qu'elles reprennent du service, il leur faudra cette fois une mission incroyable ? ce sera le vol de trois tableaux, parmi lesquels l'Olympia de Manet, exceptionnellement exposé au Petit Palais, à Paris.
La suite d'un univers créé à six mains avec un plaisir évident, au sein duquel le fantasme devient joyeuse série B, les dialogues truculents rythment l'action et où l'aventure se transforme en un récit moderne, dynamique et terriblement drôle.
