Toppi's stories appeared in a number of Italian comics magazines, from the ones devoted to kids such as Il Corriere dei Piccoli and Il Giornalino, to those targeting a more mature or larger audience, like Sgt.

Le dessin est absolument formidable, avec une technique tout à fait reconnaissable et unique. Par contre, les deux histoires présentées ne m'ont pas passionnée... Dans la deuxième, je n'y est pas retrouvé le Transvaal que je connais. Dommage !

Power dynamics and cultural clashes form the backdrop for the absurdity and raw, primeval mysticism present in some story elements.
These themes are conveyed through striking visual power, with pages treated as canvases that stand out for their authentic approach to visual storytelling.
While traditional graphic novel and comic standards aren’t always followed, this barely hinders the reading experience.

Cet ouvrage aurait pu/du s'appeler en toute logique M'felwezi, puisque Warramunga n'est en quelque sorte qu'une introduction à cette longue histoire de chasse fantastique nous montrant qu'encore une fois, dans tous ces pays étrangers, les hommes blancs ne sont finallement que les jouets des "indigènes".
Et comme à chaque fois, le trait d'un noir intersidéral de Toppi fait mouche : chaque animal, chaque expression, aussi bizarrement cadrée et rendue soit-elle, s'imprime avec force dans mon esprit.
