TOTEM
Days of rain, mud, a deep, mysterious forest—and this is supposed to be a summer camp? On top of that, Louis, as an outsider, finds it particularly difficult to fit in with the customs and traditions of the scout troop. When a mysterious beast starts terrorizing the forest and he has to fight his way through a harsh initiation ritual with the other newcomers, the game turns serious. Louis must face a test that leads him down into unknown depths of his own self.
Scenario: Nicolas Wouters
Drawings: Mikael Ross
PRESS REVIEWS
Totem is a very fascinating, dark, exciting, and formally daring book.
How imagination, driven by fears, creates monstrous images, and how these images develop almost anarchically and form a story that can only be told in the form of a comic book—this has rarely been more impressively portrayed than in the graphic novel “Totem.”
Here, the story and images mesh perfectly.
