4-6Toon Graphic series.
Translated by Richard Kutner.
In the third vibrantly illustrated graphic novel, Philemon helps Mr. Bartholomew get back to the A-shaped island in the Atlantic. One surreal moment after another leads to them freeing some fisherman trapped in a floating castle. Fred's psychedelic adventures are a cross between Little Nemo and Kafka. Back matter explains some of the story's (first published in France in 1973) references.
