In France he is called Croquemitaine, in Australian, Bunip... Different names, different appearances, but always the same character with the same terrifying mission... Luc is a 10 year old child, a very special one...He is the biggest coward the world has ever seen!Luc is afraid of going outside: he is afraid of strangers, of school and teachers; he is afraid of finding himself in the middle of a crowd, but also finding himself alone. He is afraid of cars, animals- large as well as small, of insects and of germs. But above all, he is afraid of the dark... and especially the Uomo Nero lurking in dark corners. Luc's small brain works tirelessly to create new nightmares. His biggest fear would be to kidnapped by Uomo nero and be dragged into the darkest of dark. And that's a real shame, because that is exactly what has just happened to him... With an original style and full of color, the authors invite us to discover a dreamlike world, imbued with poetry, which is reminiscent of Tim Burton. This captivating one-shot feels like a real journey of discovery, reminding everyone of their ownprivate fears.
