GariGari

Hugues Micol

Cornelius

In a medieval Japan populated by strange creatures, war between two clans threatens. To prevent things from escalating, a young ninja with extraordinary talents is tasked with infiltrating the opposing camp and seizing the arrow, the only clue to the accident that sparked the outbreak, exposing the traitor responsible for the crime to his own camp, and putting an end to the escalation... The world of GariGari precisely invokes the codes of chanbara, as found in the films of Akira Kurosawa, but distorted by the fantasized and absurd vision of a "micholian" Japan, populated by giant amphibians, mutant fish, and other anthropomorphic yokai; a long-standing source of inspiration for the author. The entirely silent narrative allows the eye to lose itself in these graphic interlacings and be struck by the dizzying framing of the aerial combat scenes. Hugues Micol once again reinvents his signature style by drawing his ambition from engraving, giving free rein to unique and exhilarating visual impulses. A breathtaking graphic masterpiece!
