Dolmen Editorial presents a new chapter of Kenny Ruiz and Kid Toussaint’s Franco-Belgian work. So it’s time to review the first two chapters.

Greek mythology begins to talk about the foundations of western civilizations. This is precisely why his stories, writers and thinkers have not only endured through the ages, but have never lost their relevance.

This is demonstrated by how creators have come again and again to appreciate these contributions in a more iconoclastic or more respectful way. Either way, any classical inspiration shows that this is still crucial to understanding the world.

But a few examples embrace an open-minded spirit of fun. telemacus from Child Toussaint and Kenny Ruiz. It’s an approach to these myths that undoubtedly leaves readers of all genres speechless and wanting more.

Stories are known to everyone Iliad Y Odyssey from Homer. But they are logically told from the perspective of the Trojan warriors. Again, What if you take a surprising demeanor? Telemachus is the son of Odysseus. And here are the adventures of her own (she decides to embark on a journey to find her father) as her father embarks on his eternal home of return, Ithaca.

This is an excuse for writers to tell and develop a character in the gaps left by the hegemonic narrative. ANDA very clever move, developed with great care for both the work and the Greek mythology as well as the characters. And this is much more obvious than any page.

In a way, it’s a tribute to both infantile naivety (it lets you see everything again through their eyes, easily neutralizing any layer of adult cynicism) and adventure. This is a grow with a hero and an unexpected and conducive environment to kickstart all the characters into transformative and spectacular experiencesthis.

These are the times when the pantheon of gods and monsters played a vital role in the life of the Greeks and really benefited from writing. While the dialogues are more contemporary and closer to the current language (and the truth does make a point), there is a clear purpose to take the reader back to that time, with all its organization, its exploits, and its dangers.

Anyway, it’s amazing how it always manages to keep a light tone even when everything is in the open. There doesn’t seem to be much that’s particularly deep, but there’s an indication that it’s a long story and will become more nuanced as the characters’ arcs evolve.

It’s always a fun exercise, thanks to a very agile rhythm and a variety of situations that make boredom impossible. And that’s the purpose of such a project. Ayes mission accomplished.

Kenny Ruiz’s art must collide a priori. Not in vain, Greek mythology and manga style do not touch much, although there are other examples of solvents.. But we’re talking about one of the reference Spanish mangakas. As if that weren’t enough, it’s one of the few books that managed to get published in Japan and Osamu Tezukaneither more nor less.

Here he amazes with the aesthetic, preferring risky (but affordable and simple) compositions and drinking from both the West and the East. It is clearly a closer job seeking access to a broad goal. This does not mean that it sacrifices the elements that define it.

The beat is crisp and clean, and the influence of Japanese writers (keeping distances, in a way, reminds us of the adventurous exploration spirit of old celebrities). Akira Toriyama, although not consistently flashy), it is highly visible and easy to follow. Da commitment to publish iconic designs of all characters and creatures that are in perfect harmony with the original stories. It’s also a pretty interesting level of detail. Someone who puts himself at the service of the story but manages to put a lot of personality into all the vignettes. He is definitely the right artist for this story as he understands and knows how to translate charismatically.

Noiry colors are a delight to the extent that they save pages a lot.. Choose a varied and rich palette where you always make the right decisions. The bright and colorful touch fits perfectly with the ancient Greek myth as well as the point of view from which this story is told. It also perfectly captures the artist’s details to make the final result look as good as possible.

volumes Editorial Dolmen (which is his original published work dupuis), yes, they do not contain any extras. Given the quality of the art, it would be nice to see Kenny Ruiz’s creative process.

telemacus It’s a call to adventure for all kinds of audiences. It has a delicious taste that stays in the mouth for both those who know mythology and the newcomers. It’s an unpretentious pastime that kids and adults alike will enjoy. And an example of how to build exciting and constructive stories on the gaps left by these great stories. A little gem.

Finally, it should be noted that although there are currently four published chapters, this compilation corresponds to reading the first two chapters..
