Pilla's Reading Corner: Thorgal- Rosiński, Van Hamme
- by Daniel Pawlik
"O'N did not destroy our world, though he did something even worse: he forgot about it." - Grzegorz Rosiński, Van Hamme, The Quest for the Time Bird
It took me a long time to get around to describing/suggesting this comic.
A work definitely for adults, one of the most important in the history of comics.
Unique, created by the aforementioned duo as an interlude between subsequent volumes of "Thorgal."
The story takes us to the planet Daar, where J'on of the Szninkiel people was chosen by O'n - the Creator of Worlds, to end the eternal war and save the entire world.
An album that raises many questions, sometimes fundamental and difficult. A story that is at times gloomy, only to give us humor and parodies a few pages later. From beginning to end, an adventure we follow with bated breath, timeless in its message.
So, if you're in the mood for a more demanding read, a comic that sometimes asks uncomfortable questions, I recommend it. And if you want a long conversation topic, infect a friend with this comic :-)
Now, I will quote three opinions from the lubimyczytac.pl portal, whose authors agree on one thing - it is an outstanding and absolutely unique comic:

The Mount Everest of comic art. No weak moments, and importantly, it stays with you for years; I always gladly return to it.

A magnificent comic work. A timeless story and brilliant artwork.
I just read it in three separate volumes - in color, as I've had that edition on my shelf for years.

Some of the most memorable bedrooms aren't the biggest ones. A first flat, a room tucked under the eaves, a childhood bedroom just large enough for a single bed and a poster-covered wall — small rooms have a way of holding onto us precisely because every centimetre had to be considered. A compact bedroom doesn't need to feel like a compromise. It needs a plan.
