Robonocchio

Robonocchio Synopsis

ROBONOCCHIO is the classic Collodi tale recast in modern terms: a robot boy, built for an amusement park owned by the evil conglomerate AMALGAMATED BEHEMOTH, is brought to life by a whimsical blue alien. He and his designer must escape from the villains' evil clutches. J.-M. & Randy Lofficier are the award-winning writers of numerous comic books including Superman and Doctor Strange.

They co-authored the children's novelization of The Great Mouse Detective and penned episodes of Duck Tales and Real Ghostbusters. Stephan Martiniere is the award-winning director of the Madeline animated series and the artist behind the Where's Waldo strip. Babel Library books feature the same text at the same place in two lan-guages on facing pages.

The reader can read the lan-guage he is trying to learn, but when he loses his place, he can look to the exact same spot on the opposite page written in his native tongue. Without resorting to a dictionary, the needed word or phrase is there and he can speedily move on. It's simple, it's efficient, it's entertaining.
