Donjon Zénith #4
Sortilège et avatar
Au Donjon, la situation est grave. L’oeil de Biscara n'est plus là pour contrôler les allées et venues, et, encore pire, le vieux dragon vient de rendre l’âme : le trésor n’est donc plus protégé ! Aussitôt, le Gardien exige que Herbert, Marvin et Alcibiade partent pour Cochonville, où se trouve un élevage de dragons et où ils pourront acquérir par la même occasion un nouvel oeil de géant. La princesse Isis les accompagne dans cette nouvelle escapade pour y acheter sa robe de mariée. Au moment où Marvin essaie un oeil de géant, il voit Isis et Herbert s'embrasser !

About the author
Joann Sfar
485 books508 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.

Zenit knjiga 4.
Nakon što nesretnim slučajem biva ubijen jedini Tvrđin odrasli zmaj, Tvrđa ostaje bez svojeg najvećeg primamljivača nadobudnih junaka, a s time odmah opada i dotok para. Herbert, Marvin, Alkibijad i Izida kreću u shopping u obližnje trgovačko selo, no nasamari ih prepredeni čarobnjak varalica. Pa ostanu bez svega.
Još jedan otkačeni i ludo zabavan nastavak...

La aventura para devolver un dragón a la mazmorra, encontrar otro ojo de gigante adivino y comprar el vestido de novia para la princesa comienza con fuerza y llega a su climax en la ciudad de los magos con unas viñetas visualmente muy atractivas. A partir de ahí decae ligeramente con la aparición del trickster que les enreda a ellos y enreda el ritmo de la historia.
La fauna de la mazmorra sigue creciendo y también lo hacen los conflictos que arrastran consigo mismos y su dimensión simbólica. Los arcos de los personajes evolucionan bien y sin duda nos dejan con ganas de seguir leyendo...!

Pletený pronásledovací šnek, vyteklé obrovo oko či vousaté dítě. Bláznivý výlet do kouzelnických Prasinek jako řemen. :)
