Bibel-Trilogie #1
Prototip
Prototip, v splošnem bolj znan kot Adam, je glavni junak pričujočega risoromana. Ob bogu, prisotnem seveda zgolj v besedi (a tej izpisani v prepričljivi gotici), in jezični kači (z obveznimi rožički) ga v epizodah, ki posebno pozornost med drugim namenjajo tistemu čudu pod figovim listom, vesoljnemu potopu in vprašanjem o trdnosti vere, dvomu (tudi kategoričnemu), jabolku pa sploh, spremljamo nekako od svetlobe do sitnobe. Razvojni lok osebka od dile do subjekta še ni bil tako prepričljivo podan, in raba možganov še ne tako sijajno utemeljena!
Ralf König s slastjo zagrize v najpomembnejše jabolko človeške zgodovine. S polno kapo zabavnih domislic, na tolsto podloženih s citati velikih filozofskih in naravoslovnih umov, skrajno prepričljivim humorjem, žmohtnim jezikom, risbo, ki je že davno postala njegov zaščitni znak, ter nabrito domišljijo … rajski vrt ne bo nikdar več isti. Na srečo.
Prototip (2008) je bil leta 2009 nagrajen s Sondermannom, najpomembnejšim nemškim priznanjem za stripovsko umetnost. Istega leta je izšel Arhetip (2009), drugi del njegove Biblične trilogije, ki jo je naslednje leto zaključil Antitip (2010). Glavni junak slednjega je, jasno, apostol Pavel.

3,5 en realidad.
Historias de un par de páginas protagonizadas por Adán (el prototipo) y en las que el autor aprovecha para reflexionar acerca de la existencia y otros temas.

Muy divertida e interesante obra de Ralf König. De lo poco que he leído de este autor me ha parecido lo más conseguido. Una versión satírica del Paraíso y las primeras reacciones del primer hombre, Adán, ante los iniciales impulsos de su entorno. Es una obra que recoge inquietudes filosóficas y religiosas en un contexto cómico.

Una visión iconoclasta y filosófica, a la vez que divertida, de qué son las religiones.

Bin aktuell im dritten Teil der Trilogie,
der erste hat mir klar am besten gefallen.
Die episodische Struktur (durch Einzelveröffentlichungen in der FAZ)
hatte einen guten Einfluss auf das Gesamtwerk, die einzelnen,
jeweils abgeschlossenen Abschnitte überzeugten mich deutlich besser
als die "freie" Struktur, die erzählerische Schwächen mit sich bringt.
Außerdem war "Prototyp" auch der graphisch ansprechendste Teil,
die "paradiesischen Zustände" hätte ich mir auch noch 200 Seiten länger gefallen lassen.

Sehr witzig und in mehreren Teilen auch genial.

Super duhovit strip, ki na moderen in sarkastičen način predstavi absurdnost krščanske mitologije stvarjenja.

Ralf König, THE Ralf König, takes on the Bible, the creation myth, Adam & Eve, Lucifer, the works.
Maybe I was expecting too much, having read some praise of this volume beforehand, but even though this was fun and in parts interesting, it was not overwhelmingly so.
The art is what you expect from a comic by König, heavy caricature, all big noses and ungainly, hairy bodies, though here represented in colour, which at least did not use to be the norm for his comics. The stories are short, between two and eight pages, mixing religious and philosopical ideas with the usual sharp, satirical dialogue.
Ok, so I will give this another chance and read the other two parts of König's Bible trilogy, but so far I'm not all that impressed. Sadly, as this was published a few years ago in Danish, and the two following volumes have been out for a while in Germany, it seems less and less likely that there is a translation forthcoming.

Ok, leggere un fumetto col dizionario davanti, quando di tedesco più in là di danke-bitte non si va, bisogna proprio volerlo. Ma Ralf König merita questo e altro.
Prototyp, ovvero il prototipo, è Adamo, in un giardino dell'Eden creato da un Gott un pochino isterico e bigotto, presente solo come voce dai caratteri in gotico, dove sul famoso albero di mele cerca di riposare attorcigliato il chilometrico e cornuto serpente rosso Luz (unica voce sensata della storia, che a volte cerca -inutilmente- di discutere col vecchio dio la gestione dell'Eden e del povero scimmione Adamo... ah,no, non chiamatelo "scimmia", ché altrimenti Gott si altera! :) )

Encontré este tío (Ralf König) por casualidad pero seguro que voy a buscar otros libros de él. Este, primer parte de la trilogía "Génesis" es una sátira del cuento del jardín de Edén y primer hombre ("¡gruñ!") junto con el serpiente, Luci y al final con la primera mujer. Claro el omnipresente es presente también en las letras góticas.
Es una vista muy inteligente, también filosófica, muy, muy divertida sobre las cuestiones eternales.

König a recuperar a forma depois de uma colecção menos inspirada. Muito engraçado, ri-me imenso :)

Le dessin et l'humour de König sont si sexy !

Entretenido una visión divertida del génesis, el final está muy bien.

König rompe con todo, y casi siempre de manera muy inteligente. El Adán, el Dios y la Serpiente que aparecen aquí se alejan de las interpretaciones conservadoras de los fervorosos creyentes y se humanizan y se acercan entre sí. Con gags dignos de su genio, König crea una versión del Génesis que no sólo invita a la risa sino también a la reflexión.
