This graphic novel is a pure marvel ! From the perfect adaptation of Richard Adams' classic by James Sturm to the incredible art by Joe Sutphin, it is a very beautiful book ! I absolutely love the illustrations and all the details showing the epic journey of a group of rabbits in a search of home. It is absolutely mind blowing !

I Was a Rat!

I Was a Rat! So insists a scruffy boy named Roger. Maybe it’s true. But what is he now? A terrifying monster running wild in the sewers? The Daily Scourge is sure of it. A victim of “Rodent Delusion”? The hospital nurse says yes. A lucrative fairground freak? He is to Mr. Tapscrew. A champion wriggler and a budding thief? That’s what Billy thinks.
