La Légende de Robin des Bois

Synopsis of La Légende de Robin des Bois

«La Légende de Robin des Bois» is a humor comic by Manu Larcenet, published by Dargaud in 2003 (48 pages, in French).

Burlesque parody of the Robin Hood legend: an aging, absent-minded Robin, with a hint of Alzheimer's, forgets to rob the rich to give to the poor, and his faithful Petit-Jean corrects him with blows from a cudgel. The Sheriff of Nottingham asks for help from an equally aged Tarzan, and the story strings together surreal gags and absurd encounters.

Fourth title in the series «Une aventure rocambolesque de...». The work was serialized in Fluide Glacial in 2002 and 2003 in black and white; this color edition appeared in the Poisson Pilote collection.

For fans of humor comics and parody, and for followers of Manu Larcenet who want to see his particular take on Robin Hood.
