Mark Stafford y David Hine · Tengu Editions · 2021
The nascent Tengu publishing house presents us The man who laughs, comic adaptation of one of the most scandalous and, at the same time unknown, Victor Hugo novels. David Hine, an old comic acquaintance mainstream, successfully manages to compress a novel of more than seven hundred pages into a short and emotional comic, aided by the vibrant and ugly drawing of Mark Stafford, very appropriate to capture the truculences of the plot. The story, vindictive and revolutionary, tells us the dramas and misadventures of the outcast Gwynplaine, a virtuous and gentle soul trapped behind a grotesque and disfigured face that hides a secret that could convulse the established order of his society..
