Vingeslag: en tegneserie

by Peter Madsen, Dagny Holm (Translator)

Signe har blitt uvenner med sin beste venninne og må dra alene til hytta for å lese til eksamen. I skogen møter hun en gammel dame, som snakker et merkelig, fremmed språk. Men damen fører Signe på sporet av historien om pinsen og Den hellige ånd. Drøm og virkelighet krysser hverandre i Vingeslag, i en fortelling om å kjempe for å overvinne seg selv, å tilgi og våge å søke fellesskap.

Vingeslag er en dramatisk og rørende historie som mange ungdommer vil kjenne seg igjen i. Tegningene er spektakulære og blander et moderne uttrykk med klassiske bibelillustrasjoner. Boka er laget av den kjente, danske serieskaperen Peter Madsen.

Reviews

[Ina Korsgaard Hansen · Rating 1 out of 5]

Jeg har sjelden lest noe mer forkynnende og moraliserende. Bildene (som i virkemiddelet) er overtydelige, og dialogen og tankene føles unaturlige og stive. Dette er som å lese den kleine KRL-historien på skolen hvor forfatterne har gjort et krampeaktig forsøk på å lage noe kult som kan få de unge til å relatere til Bibelen og Jesus.

Jeg kan ikke hjelpe for at øynene mine ruller langt bak i skallen, og verst av alt: Jeg trodde jeg var Peter Madsen-fan! Nå kjenner jeg at jeg begynner å tvile på gamle tolkninger av tidligere verk og må lese de om igjen for å se om de er like ille.
