Toajene

Panaccione is an award-winning specialist in wordless comics. Bruno Bozzetto is an Italian animator/director, perhaps best known for Allegro non troppo (1976).Together they have created this comic album with great humor and heart. From actualbd.com: Welcome to the infinitely small. Our hero is a little shaggy and enjoys math as much as asking existential questions while he crawls through his virgin forest. But no one ever wants to answer his questions ... He remains indeed quite alone, our friend. Until the day he witnesses Tarzan, a fantastic phenomenon appearing in the sky of his universe. And he has enlightenment: he will be called Moatarzan. But for good measure, he must find his complement: Toajêne! This quest for love appears impossible (how to find this film actress in his microscopic forest), until a scientist takes him out of his culture medium and realizes that this little being can cure a horrible disease that affects the entire world population! However, Moatarzan, the microscopic hero, does not care to save the world, he just wants to find Toajêne, and shouts his despair to whoever wants to hear him ... Resume: Quand un microbe amoureux d'une icône du cinéma redonne espoir à l'humanité accablée... Un récit drôle et enchanteur né de l'imagination de deux auteurs dont l'exubérance juvénile n'aura pas été anéantie par l'expérience. Drames et passions constituent aussi le quotidien de l'univers microscopique et même s'ils ne mesurent qu'un micromètre, les héros n'y sont pas moins remarquables... Par l'odyssée improbable d'un microbe, panacée à l'épidémie qui frappe le monde que seul son amour pour une star du cinéma stimule, les auteurs nous révèlent une dimension fascinante où le burlesque touche à la fantaisie poétique.
