Somewhere (probably in Germany after World War II), a man named Brodeck, a survivor of the concentration camps, is located by chance in the wrong place. The men of the village were murdered Anderer (the Other, the Stranger) and want a writing that the innocent. Brodeck is responsible for drafting the report. Guarded he also knows on borrowed time.
The story is divided into 2 parts, the first here.
The incredibly claustrophobic story is set in a case in B & B where each box is a splendor Graphically Larcenet climbed to an even higher level, this style he mastered from Blast.
His representation of such concentration camp guards, is certainly the most powerful we have seen for Maus, which is no small feat.
In addition, the object is beautiful in itself: thick cover and paper, landscape format, in which case we insert the album (the openings at the top and bottom are, however, not a practical side opening. would have been a better idea).
One regret. It is unfortunate that Larcenet is the wait for the release of his works "serious" (Ordinary Combat, Volume 1 and of course, Blast - Volume 1 - Grasse Carcass (1)), reaching almost unanimous and deserved recognition. It should not be smitten that he syndrome "Bourvil Red Circle", "Fernandel Angèle" or "Michel Blanc M Hire" ... the glory which reserves only comic that become "finally" seriously.
So, do not hesitate to get too nuggets such as "An incredible adventures of Sigmund Freud: The Dog Days" and "The Legend of Robin Hood" is the other side of Larcenet (now that we know that he is bipolar ...) and it is just as essential.
