Acerca deste libro electrónico
The Beast has been captured and finds himself in the pound, waiting to be transferred to Antwerp Zoo. Little François hasn’t given up on helping him—but how? He doesn’t yet know it, but he can count on the help of class bully Fut-fut, who is starting to feel remorseful for having harassed his classmate. However, he will have to be wary of Professor Sneutvelmans, an undisputed expert in cryptozoology (a new scientific discipline of his own invention) who is convinced that the strange animal is proof of an ancient myth. Everyone will embark on a vast chase through the streets of Brussels. The conclusion of this two-part novel by renowned author Zidrou and celebrated gallery artist Frank Pé features spectacular scenes full of nostalgic melodrama. A heartwarming, unforgettable story that is visually well-realized.

Acerca do autor
Zidrou is the pen name of Belgian writer Benoît Drousie, born in 1962 in Anderlecht. Originally a schoolteacher, he transitioned into writing in the 1990s and quickly became a prolific figure in European comics. Known for his versatility, Zidrou has penned everything from humorous children’s series like L’élève Ducobu to emotionally rich graphic novels such as The Adoption. His collaboration with artist Frank Pé on The Beast reimagines the iconic French comic character Marsupilami in a poignant, postwar Belgian setting. The story blends social realism with mythic undertones, showcasing Zidrou’s talent for crafting narratives that are both tender and unflinching.
Frank Pé is a Belgian comic artist born in 1956 in Ixelles, Brussels. Renowned for his poetic and animal-centric storytelling, he studied sculpture at the Institut Saint-Luc before launching his career in Spirou magazine, where he created the introspective character Broussaille. His work often blends philosophical themes with lush, expressive artwork, drawing inspiration from nature, art nouveau, and artists like André Franquin and Egon Schiele. Over the decades, Pé has crafted acclaimed series such as Zoo and Broussaille, and contributed to animated films and illustration projects. In 2021, he released a volume of artwork and strips reimagining the character Little Nemo in Slumberland, originally created by Windsor McCay in 1905, from a nostalgic, grown-up perspective. His collaboration with Zidrou on The Beast similarly reimagines the character Marsupilami in a haunting postwar setting, showcasing his signature blend of realism, emotion, and mythic atmosphere.
