"Pinocchio" by Winshluss (lemmy.world)

I just finished "Pinocchio" by Winshluss and it was very different than the BD that I am used to.

I liked the art (resembling of Robert Crumb) and the Pinocchio adaptation for mature audiences. There is a lot to like in the clever storytelling and how the stories connect with each other.

Perhaps this was not my cup of tea, but it was refreshing and definitely something very unique that I am happy to add to my collection.

EDIT: This Pinocchio adaptation is not appropriate for children or young comic readers. Just in case it wasn't clear from my post.

Thanks for posting this! Looks interesting, and I found 20 sample pages at a bookseller site, with additional notes. I see it even won the grand prize at Angoulême. oO
