Items related to Abelard
To lure pretty Epily, little chick Abelard sees only one solution: to catch the moon for her. So off he goes to America, the country that invented flying machines. Armed with his banjo and his proverb-sharing hat, he launches out on the country roads, where he meets Gaston, a grumpy bear with whom he shares his plan. As opposed to dreamer Abelard, Gaston has his feet firmly planted on the ground. This humorous comic, where the absurd becomes poetry, explores philosophical ideas through a simple, fanciful story.

About the Author:
Renaud Dillies is a comics artist who studied at the famous St. Luc School of Art in Tournai, Belgium. He won the Best First Album Award at the Angouleme Comics Festival, France’s highest set of awards for comics. He is the author of Bubbles & Gondola. Regis Hautière is a French comics scriptwriter.
From Booklist:
NBM continues to import French comics culture, sometimes kicking and screaming, into the midst of our own. It’s not that these compelling but unfamiliar tales aren’t a natural fit so much as that they require some searching to find whom exactly they are a natural fit for. This graphic novel is, if anything, so very much more French than Dillies’ Bubbles & Gondola (2011). In it, a guileless but optimistic young bird leaves his comfortable marsh, journeying to America in hopes of finding the recently invented flying machine so that he may pick a bunch of stars for his untouchable love, Eppily. Filled with characters damaged by love, spouters of casual racism, and a bear who refuses to see hope until it may be too late, this is not so much for children, though its somber, textured, heavily crosshatched art trades in the anthropomorphization of classic cartooning. Its bittersweet tale of how one life can deeply touch another is meant for burgeoning existentialists and those who wish to see what comics are capable of through the prism of an idiosyncraticphilosophy. --Jesse Karp
