{"product_id":"0326on0911-the-beast-1","title":"Beast Hardcover Volume 1","description":"This sometimes dark—but always hopeful—adventure by renowned author Zidrou and celebrated gallery artist Frank Pe portrays a beautiful friendship between a boy and his beast with a magnificent adventure whose heart is the extraordinary friendship that can unite a child with an animal . . .  Captured in the heart of Palombia by Chahuta Indians and sold to exotic animal traffickers, a marsupilami lands in the port of Antwerp in the 1950s. Managing to escape, he arrives in the suburbs of Brussels and is taken in by Fran ois, a young boy who is a fan of animals and whose daily life is far from easy. Fran ois is picked on by the local kids, particularly because his father had been a German soldier, an unforgivable crime in those postwar years; a fact he and his mother cannot escape. Both are ostracized for their connection to past events. The authors pay a superb tribute to the fabulous animal created by Franquin in the series Spirou et Fantasio while denouncing the mistreatment and trafficking of exotic animals.","brand":"Oni Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44177636163620,"sku":"0326ON0911","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/7782\/9668\/files\/202602-0000525038.jpg?v=1778621062","url":"https:\/\/neighborhoodcomics.com\/products\/0326on0911-the-beast-1","provider":"Neighborhood Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
