About the author
Joann Sfar
487 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.

Oh this series gets better and better in this trilogy. "Twilight" is darker but light and funny on the same time. Sfar and Trondheim give their best with original pick-up lines and a clever surreal script, making crepuscule as good as Zenith and maybe even surpases it. The creators offer us a great lore and exposition about *former* Terra Amata.
Dunjon is one of the best humorous fantasy sagas out there, if not the best.Pick it up without a thought.

(3,8 of 5 for Twilight 2 - the flying islands)
Yes, the base for Donjon is the same, a mix of adventure and comedy with a good story. But Twilight is starting to be too much on me in means of how it goes global, completely stepping out of Dungeon-centrism. It's still very interesting and usually fun, but it just goes into a more serious story with all that frivolity, but in this combination, it's just less smooth. Still full of fun ideas, though.

Vanhan ja sokean lohikäärme Marvinin seikkailut jatkuvat Terra Amatalla, joka kuitenkin kohta hajoaa kappaleiksi. Jänö Marvin the Red ei anna Marvinin kuolla tai tulla tapetuksi, vaan he jatkavat matkaansa hyppimällä leijuvalta saarekkeelta toiselle. Marvin the Red joutuu kimurantteihin rakkaussotkuihin, mutta mitä muutakaan voisi punaiselta jänikseltä odottaakaan.

Best one yet because you get the silliness in which this series excels PLUS absurd sex organ imagery, actual nudity with plenty of sex, and the interplay of old religious "rules" and how they ruin relationships and the children involved. It's funny, juicy wet, intelligent and fuzzy!

The translation from French emphasizes sultry and physical interaction, but the plot seems ephemeral and disjointed

Marvin the red and the Dust King prove that men are indeed pigs... or rabbits and Dragons or... you get what I mean.
