Birds in Comics. Volume 1

This time, French comic book creators, who have already delighted Russian readers with vibrant series about insects, marine animals, and dinosaurs, have taken on birds. This means you can expect to meet new drawn characters - not just the well-known... pigeons, magpies, and sparrows! On the pages of the first volume, you will get to know much more exotic characters: the black drongo, the rock piper, the hornbill, the smoky frogmouth, and many, many others. You will also learn how a shovel-billed bird differs from a heron, which bird is considered the most dangerous in the world, what the bald eagle's greed costs him, whether pelicans eat other birds, and even... what ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus died from! An additional intrigue of the series is the fact that a new team of authors, not yet familiar to our readers, is working on it: writer Jean-Luc Garréra, artist Alain Sirvent, and colorist David Lenvan, who decided to slightly shift the focus toward the scientific side. In other words, this book can well be considered a colorful mini-encyclopedia, and the extensive educational material that follows the comic only enhances this impression. However, the signature humor of the collection is still present, and those who fell in love with previous series for the chance to have a bit of fun will not be disappointed. After all, no one doubts that birds are delightful creatures! For younger school age.
