Insects in Comics. Volume 1

Insects are all around us. What do they eat, how do they sleep, how do they hunt and defend themselves? Christophe Kaznow and François Vodarzak decided to answer these and many other questions about insects, calling upon all their knowledge... and humor. While maintaining strict scientific accuracy, the authors made their six-legged characters laugh, cry, tell jokes, quote 'Star Wars,' and reminisce about World War I. You will witness scenes of ruthless wars, mysterious transformations, intricate hunting methods, and equally amazing defense tactics.

 You will learn why fireflies glow, how many spots a ladybug has on its back, and what a stick insect is afraid of. And they will tell you all about it themselves! Yes, indeed, one of the chapters of this book is titled: 'Do Insects Speak?' What a question - of course, they do! Though in their own way... Fortunately, over the years of working on this series, the authors have learned the language of insects so well that they were able to flawlessly translate their colorful stories into human language! And for better assimilation of the material (which, let us remind you, is based solely on real facts), there is a test at the end of the book, all the answers to which can be found on its pages - it is enough to show a bit of attention.

 But that’s not all! The book concludes with a detailed lecture on a subject that is, to put it mildly, quite pressing for insects, such as mimicry and camouflage. It is important to note that the authors did not add any personal touches and invited a specialist - an ant, who approached the task with utmost seriousness and even called upon his friends, real professionals: a blue butterfly, a birch moth, a dirty predator, a leaf insect, and many, many others. No one knows their business better than they do!
