Join Annie and Nico as they travel through time and discover the history and importance of black gold, the non-renewable natural resource known as oil. Witness the rise of oil throughout history from its unique uses in ancient times to the hunt to dig up more oil as it was discovered underground in 1859. All packaged in a pocket hardcover with easily accessible facts, figures, and trivia retelling the magical history of oil from a kids perspective.
Fabrice Erre, born in 1973 in France, is an author and teacher of comics, as well as an accomplished historian. Through his comics, he seeks above all to parody human behavior, teasing out our little personal weaknesses and our vulnerability to manipulation by the masses. Most recently, putting his history background to good use, Erre has teamed up with artist Sylvain Savoia to create the series THE THREAD OF HISTORY, set on bringing the past to vivid life for younger readers.
Born in 1969, Sylvain Savoia grew up in France, and discovered comicbooks at a young age. In 1989, he registered at the Saint-Luc art school in Brussels. Savoia enjoys a prolific international career illustrating comics.
