Synopsis
Addidas is a bright and quirky young girl who spends most of her time helping her widowed father in his job as a chimney sweep. When Addidas ventures too far into a chimney, she encounters a bizarre new friend and in the process destabilizes a long-established system.
From prolific independent European creators Wazem and Peeters comes a touching and existential story that balances its fantastical elements with poignant and realistic themes.

Pierre Wazem is a prolific and critically acclaimed writer. He is most well-known for "Koma" and his adaptation of Hugo Pratt’s “Scorpions of the Desert” for which he won the International Prize of the City of Geneva and Best European book of the Year at the Festival of Comics in Rome.
Review
"I don’t think I can quite articulate how special this book is... it’s an invigorating and engrossing read whichever way you read it: as an extended metaphor for Adidas’ illness, as an adventure between worlds or as comment on life, science and being. Read it."
- ForbiddenPlanet.co.uk
"...a darkly poetic parable about self-determination and belief in change."
- PaulGravett.com
"Koma transcends social commentary and fairy tale conventions. The subtle knife pierces the veil and Addidas’ travels cross back and forth between worlds inside and out until the distinction dissolves into a surreal series of powerful emotions."
- DoomRocket
"Wazem is quite a writer. Everything he writes is out of this world. His work is filled with new ideas and man is it smart. Likewise, Peeters’ art is just magnificent.
Vibrant, fun, beautiful. This is a book that delivers."
