Description:
|
|
The visit to the Tower of Londinium is a brilliant example of the authors' humour and the complicity between text and image in their work.
This album is one of the greats. The authors run wild between the barrels of warm beer mixed up with the one containing the magic potion and the reference to hip Briton bards shown with screaming fans.
There's no point looking for the pun in the name of chief Cassivellaunos, on page 6, because there isn't one. Cassivellaunos did indeed exist: he was the supreme chief of the Britons. On the other hand, we're not so sure that Mykingdomforanos did actually thwart Caesar's plans.
