| Summary: | Son of the gun: When an abandoned baby, sporting a tail, is rescued from a South American rubbish bin by a dwarf transvestite prostitute, you know you're reading a story that only the mad genius of Alejandro Jodorowsky could conceive! The child grows up to become Juan Solo, a vicious gangster and political enforcer, whose savagery sees him quickly rise through the ranks. Until his past catches up to him... Pietrolino: A tale of love, art, and treason set in Nazi-occupied France, and featuring the trials and tribulations of a very special mime. This is the tale of the titular Pietrolino, a man who came to use his skills as a mime to stand up against the oppressor and cheer the bruised souls of a Nazi-occupied France. The graphic novel adaptation of a theatre play originally written by the ever multi-faceted Alexandro Jodorowsky for the famous French mime Marcel Marceau. It is here poetically brought to life by prolific European artist and frequent Humanoids contributor, O.G. Boiscommun |
