Mildiou #[nn]
In "Mildiou," Lewis Trondheim crafts a darkly whimsical tale of tyranny and absurd justice, where a despotic usurper, stripped of his crown, seeks one final victim to absolve his defeat. With a cast that includes only the fallen king and the unwitting Lapinot, the story unfolds in sharp, expressive art by Trondheim, whose distinctive style brings both menace and melancholy to the tale. A 60-cent comic from 1994, it stands as a singular, quietly devastating fable.

Mildiou est un usurpateur qui, par la force, l’oppression et la malhonnêteté, s’est arrogé le titre du roi. La révolte du peuple a eu raison de lui et le roi légitime est de retour. Mildiou doit admettre sa défaite mais il ne peut s’y résoudre sans se désigner un dernier adversaire qui sera sa victime expiatoire. Au hasard de la foule, il choisit le plus faible, le plus inoffensif, le plus naïf : un lapin qui n’a rien demandé, le malheureux Lapinot.
