Folklords is a comic book written by Matt Kindt, illustrated by Matt Smith and colorized by Chris O'halloran. It was published on February 3 by Delcourt in the collection Contrebande.
A forbidden quest
Ansel is a young man who lives in a fantasy world in which wonderful tales and characters are the norm. Since childhood, he has been plagued by visions of urban landscape and modern technology. Convinced that these visions are linked to the legend of the "Folklords" or master-peoples, he decides to go in search of them. However, this is a subject radically forbidden by the guild of librarians. Despite the threat hanging over him, Ansel decides to complete his quest in order to finally understand the visions that assail him. 
A wonderful world
The world of Ansel is an exciting world that the reader can discover at the same time as the hero, while following the progression through a world map that grows over the chapters. The composition of the boxes makes it possible to be as close as possible to the characters and to create a real proximity, even complicity with them. The drawings give off a particularly appreciable warmth. Folklords is a real invitation to travel to the heart of a wonderful, intriguing world whose readers burn over the pages to discover the secrets. 
In search of the knowledge of the Folklords
The subject of Folklords is interesting and treated with subtlety and intelligence. The themes of the search for knowledge, censorship, tolerance, betrayal, among others, dot the pages through the quest of the young Ansel. Far from being caricatured, the hero is a character that could not be more human, which reinforces the feeling of realism desired by the author. Moved by the devouring need to understand where these otherworldly visions come from, he draws the reader in his wake, who also feels this need to know and know the truth behind the "Folklords". 
A fantastic gem, Folklords is a promising comic book that Just Focus editors are looking forward to.
