I had almost forgotten about this gem, after reading it decades ago as a kid. In hindsight, Chninkel had a strong impact on my developing love for comics, quite comparable to The Incal and AKIRA. While the drawings are not as perfect as the work of the grandmasters Moebius and Otomo, the narrative of Chninkel hits even harder imo. Twelve year old me was especially triggered by the oppression and injustice of the scenario and I still remember being stunned by the hard struggle the little protagonist has to endure. NEVER GIVE UP LITTLE CHNINKEL!
Ah… “Naked Mole,” you made my day posting this!! <3
Such a wonderful series, full of… what? Perfect insights in to our own characters, is it not…?
You are welcome!
Perfect insights in to our own characters
Yes and into social mechanisms like power and the oppression that comes with it too.
