Donjon Crépuscule #106
Révolutions
Le Roi Poussière et Marvin le Rouge sont en mauvaise posture : les voici ballottés sur un îlot instable qui, en plus d'être infesté de plantes carnivores, penche dangereusement. Le degré d'inclinaison ne cesse de croître, si bien que les deux compères n'ont d'autre solution que de cavaler en sens inverse de la rotation. Mais très vite, ils s'aperçoivent que quelque chose ne tourne pas rond !

About the author
Joann Sfar
510 books515 followersJoann Sfar (born August 28, 1971 in Nice) is a French comics artist, comic book creator, and film director.
Sfar is considered one of the most important artists of the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics. Many of his comics were published by L'Association which was founded in 1990 by Jean-Christophe Menu and six other artists. He also worked together with many of the new movement's main artists, e.g. David B. and Lewis Trondheim. The Donjon series which he created with Trondheim has a cult following in many countries.
Some of his comics are inspired by his Jewish heritage as the son of Jewish parents (an Ashkenazi mother and a Sephardic father). He himself says that there is Ashkenazi humor in his Professeur Bell series (loosely based on Joseph Bell), whereas Le chat du rabbin is clearly inspired by his Sephardic side. Les olives noires is a series about a Jewish child in Israel at the time of Jesus. Like Le chat du rabbin, the series contains a lot of historical and theological information.
His main influences are Fred and André Franquin as well as Marc Chagall, Chaim Soutine, Will Eisner, Hugo Pratt and John Buscema.
From 2009 to 2010, Sfar wrote and directed 'Serge Gainsbourgh: Une Vie Heroique', a biopic of the notorious French songwriter, of whom Sfar is a self-confessed fanatic. The film, which draws substantially on Sfar's abilities as a comic book artist through its extensive use of fantasy artwork, animation and puppetry, was released in 2010 to general critical acclaim.

"Bärendienste" passt schon als Titel, aber der Originaltitel ist zehnmal besser: "Revolutions". Passt auf mehreren Ebenen. Wieso, ihr Arschübersetzer? Wieso?

Very silly, art slightly less cool, don't like Marvin being a pig. That's Marvin Rouge's job.

Waouh.
D'habitude, les tomes ne faisant pas avancer l'histoire m'ennuient un peu, mais celui-ci... c'est différent.
Le dessin d'Obion, peut-être, déjà, y est pour quelque chose : c'est très maîtrisé et efficace.
Pour le scénario : j'ai été très sensible à l'allégorie politique de ce tome. C'est très bien mais en place, bien construit et plutôt bien réfléchi. Un très beau tome, qui mériterait presque de se lire tout seul et non dans la saga Donjon.
