{"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":48298716922026,"sku":"978196241359652499","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/3052\/4074\/files\/202602-0000525038.jpg?v=1778361951","url":"https:\/\/digitalheroes.com\/products\/0326on0911-the-beast-1","provider":"Digital Heroes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
