{"product_id":"beast-hc-vol-1-csaitm434151","title":"BEAST HC VOL 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ONI PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51907783426336,"sku":"CSAITM434151","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/0953\/9104\/files\/434151.jpg?v=1782250637","url":"https:\/\/www.theblackbirdroost.com\/products\/beast-hc-vol-1-csaitm434151","provider":"Blackbird Comics \u0026 Coffeehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
