La dernière comédie de Paolo Pinocchio

by Lucas Varela

SHORTLISTED FOR THE PRIX BD DE L'OUEST HURLANT 2023

Ten years after the first collection of his tribulations, Paolo Pinocchio the infernal lying puppet returns under Lucas Varela's brush for a long-running adventure.

La dernière comédie de Paolo Pinocchio returns to the character's origins and then, sailing from Genesis to our dystopian present, offers a new cosmogony on steroids that shamelessly draws its inspiration from Old Testament demonology, Dante's Divine Comedy, Greek mythology and the commedia dell'arte.

As if in a superhero comic, Paolo Pinocchio twirls from adventure to adventure, alternating between facetiousness and tragedy, chasing a diamond (obviously magical) in Renaissance Venice, and encountering an uprising of fish eager to take revenge on their creator. At the heart of this narrative maelstrom, served up by Lucas Varela's elegant clear lines, lies a talisman, the object of all covetousness... Paolo's nose! With its dynamic layout, the story never stops opening its drawers, aligning parallel worlds and taking us on a dizzying fall… to the sources of the primordial lie, the one at the origin of all creation.

La dernière comédie de Paolo Pinocchio is one of the rare projects in which Lucas Varela signs both the drawing and the script. He takes this opportunity to deliver a major work combining fantastic adventure and satirical commentary on the act of creation.
