Animal Castle Vol 1 cover

In a world where animals are meant to be equal, Animal Castle Vol 1 reveals the complexities of power and rebellion among them.

In Animal Castle Vol 1, the story unfolds in a farm where all animals were once considered equal, but the power dynamics shift dramatically within the castle walls. The narrative explores the stark contrast between the oppressed animals and their tyrannical ruler, President Silvio, a bull who, along with his dog militia, maintains control through fear and intimidation. The other animals, worn out from relentless labor, find hope in the form of Azelard, a cunning rat who introduces them to the concept of civil disobedience, igniting a spark of rebellion that challenges their oppressive regime.

This graphic novel is a compelling retelling of the classic fable, reimagining themes of equality and justice through the lens of a unique animal kingdom. As the animals band together to reclaim their rights, readers are taken on a journey filled with both familiar and unexpected twists. The striking artwork by Felix Delep complements the narrative, enhancing the emotional depth of the characters and their struggles.

Animal Castle Vol 1 is not just a story about animals; it's a reflection on society and the fight against injustice. This hardcover edition collects the first five issues of the acclaimed series, complete with a cover gallery and bonus material that provides insight into the creative process. It's a must-read for fans of animal fables and those who appreciate thought-provoking graphic storytelling.
