MOTHER
COURAGE, that is «Archcheater and vagabond Courage' admirable life». It
is the same Mother Courage about whom treated Bertold Brecht in
his omonimouswork. But this time
revisited in the original spirit. That is the integral translation, in cartoon-kee,
of the original Hans Christian Von Grimmelshausen' work, that, through the anti-heroyne,
and great bitch of that time, , Mother
Courage, ponctually narrates the "Thirty years War", with relative
historically real names and surnames, battlefields and alliances, passing through
the bed of different captains, indifferently on both sides of the frontline.
It ends in glory, for Simplicius' ignominy and shame. Published
by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore in 1980, in the prestigious collection AL_BUM, in
