Atar Gull ou le destin d'un esclave modèle

This is the story of the vengeance of one man, spanning three continents. A vengeance against enemy tribes, against white slavers and against another man. The story follows a slave, born in an African tribe, from his teenagehood until is late adulthood in Europe. Many things happen in the middle, and the strength of purpose of this man only becomes apparent more than half way through the book. That is also when the authors give us a lesson on how monstrousness and virtuousness can be one and the same. This graphic novel is very well written and the drawing is quite nice. Fabien Nury writes very effectively and Bruno draws very nicely with very few lines and with a good use of shadows and light. If you read French, you could do a lot worth than reading this.
