ZEROCALCARES ARMADILLO PROPHECY GN (MR) (19 Jun Release)

The Armadillo Prophecy is Zerocalcare's debut OGN¸ and it's the story of how he coped with learning too late that a dear friend from his childhood had died¸ all while a giant armadillo represents his imaginary conscience. Dryly funny¸ witty¸ and inventive¸ it's a classic that has sold over 140¸000 copies in Italy alone. Now in its 13th reprint¸ it is Zerocalcare's most popular title. Structured as a series of short stories that tie in to form a cohesive narrative¸ this is the seminal story that made Zerocalcare famous for his ability to write comedy with depth and elements of drama embedded in the plot. While it references Italian society¸ it's definitely a universal tale of loss¸ coping and coming of age. Season 1 of Zerocalcare's original animated series 'Tear Along the Dotted Line' debuted WORLDWIDE on Netflix in November of 2021. Season Two¸ 'This World Can't Tear Me Down¸' premiered April 2023.
