When human intruders try to turn the animals into a circus act, Dusty has to figure out a way to bring back the kingdom's peace. Humor and lively details bring this fairy tale world to life. The Dutch equivalent of <strong>Asterix</strong>, these beloved popular graphic novels are available in the US for the first time ever. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Can kindness and a magical knapsack defeat an evil villain with a dastardly plan?</p> <p>While on his way to investigate a mysterious mountain, small, round, white-bearded Dusty Dabbert is kidnapped by the dastardly Carl Craven and his bumbling toady. Luckily, Dusty is rescued and taken to the Valley of Bam, a hidden paradise populated by clothed, talking animals. Peace among species is ensured by a strict law forbidding carnivorous behavior. Unfortunately, Craven and his lackey find the valley and stir up rebellion by introducing the wolves to the mouthwatering joys of meat; they have an eye toward enslaving the animals in a circus. Can Dusty and his magical knapsack save the day? Originally published in the Netherlands in t he late 1970s, this new English-language edition features Moss' snappy translation. Filled with familiar archetypes and slapstick humor, the classic good-versus-evil story features a name-calling scoundrel and a protagonist with a heart of gold. Full-color illustrations and tight linework are reminiscent of Asterix comics. The panels are densely packed, and occasionally the sequencing is tricky to navigate. The setting is a pre-industrial fantasyland with a European look, and human characters appear to be White. There is a noticeable lack of female characters with agency.</p> <p>A satisfying fantasy adventure that follows a familiar formula to a triumphant conclusion.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p> </p>-- "Journal" (2/9/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
