Tales of the City Vol. 1 by Isabelle Bauthian, Sandrine Revel

San Francisco, late 1970s. At 28 Barbary Lane, Anna Madrigal runs a boarding house. She welcomes people who have nowhere else to go: the misfits.

This matriarch is known for her unending kindness and her superb marijuana crop. Enter Mary Ann Singleton, a prudish, naive, young woman who escaped her dull Ohio hometown for San Francisco. She settles in with her other fellow tenants: Michael "Mouse," a personable young gay man, Brian Hawkins, an incorrigible Don Juan, and Mona Ramsey, a young hippyish bisexual.

Little does the group know that they will soon form a dear family together. This is the beginning of a humorous, heartfelt saga, between the summer of love and the appearance of AIDS, in the city of sexual freedom!

The novels have been translated into 10 languages and sold over 6 million copies. The title has been adapted on TV (BBC), Limited Series, Theater... and now in graphic novel form for the first time.
