{"product_id":"beast-vol-1-9781962413596","title":"Beast HC Vol 1","description":"This sometimes dark—but always hopeful—adventure by renowned author Zidrou and celebrated gallery artist Frank Pe portrays a beautiful friendship between a boy and his beast with a magnificent adventure whose heart is the extraordinary friendship that can unite a child with an animal . . .  Captured in the heart of Palombia by Chahuta Indians and sold to exotic animal traffickers, a marsupilami lands in the port of Antwerp in the 1950s. Managing to escape, he arrives in the suburbs of Brussels and is taken in by François, a young boy who is a fan of animals and whose daily life is far from easy. François is picked on by the local kids, particularly because his father had been a German soldier, an unforgivable crime in those postwar years; a fact he and his mother cannot escape. Both are ostracized for their connection to past events. The authors pay a superb tribute to the fabulous animal created by Franquin in the series Spirou et Fantasio while denouncing the mistreatment and trafficking of exotic animals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize (in inches):\u003c\/b\u003e 9 x 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCreator(s):\u003c\/b\u003e Zidrou, Frank Pe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOn-Sale Date:\u003c\/b\u003e May 13, 2026","brand":"Oni Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57050683310345,"sku":"9781962413596","price":23.74,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3514\/7159\/files\/beast-hc-vol-1-3916859.jpg?v=1778852830","url":"https:\/\/waltscomicshop.com\/de\/products\/beast-vol-1-9781962413596","provider":"Walt's Comic Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
