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:
Definitely a comic worth reading
Artwork 10/10
Plot 9/10
Main Characters 9/10

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.

Loveseat - What Is It, Who Is It For and How to Choose the Right One?
A loveseat is one of those pieces of furniture that can completely change how a room works. It is smaller than a classic sofa, more generous than a single armchair and often easier to place in compact interiors. A loveseat can create a cosy sitting area in a small living room, soften a bedroom corner, complete a reading nook or work as an additional seat next to a larger sofa. Its strength lies in proportion: it gives you the feeling of a sofa without taking over the whole room.

Autumn colors at home – shades that bring peace and warmth
Do you remember autumn from your childhood, when the leaves changed color like a kaleidoscope, and your mom would pull out the pumpkin-colored sweater she'd worn since college? Or those evenings in front of the TV while a storm raged outside, and the lamplight in the house gave everything a warm, amber hue? Those were the days when no one talked about "color palettes" or "color stories"—colors simply existed, as natural as breathing. Today, when we can choose from 50 shades of gray (and no, I'm not talking about THAT book), we sometimes lose track of what truly makes a home feel cozy. At Pillovely, we believe that autumn colors aren't a trend—they're a return to what makes us feel safe. Because "You are someone"—someone who deserves a space filled with colors that snuggle like a grandma's blanket.
