The Wolf in Underpants

An Aesop’s Fables-style graphic story for the current era, with sharp humour and a lesson about intolerance.

In this witty graphic novel, a community of forest animals trades scary rumours about a nearby wolf. Some critters have even gone into business selling wolf traps and anti-wolf fences. But when the wolf appears in a pair of striped underpants, everyone rethinks their fears.

This is a heartwarming story about understanding difference, told with an oddball sense of humour.

Book Features:

• Wonderful blending of the silly and the thoughtful

• Socially relevant but family friendly

• Translated from the certified-hit French edition

About the Author

Wilfrid Lupano was born in Nantes, in the west of France, and spent most of his childhood in the southwestern city of Pau, France. He spent his childhood reading through his parents’ comic book collection and enjoying role-playing games. He studied literature and philosophy, receiving a degree in English, before he began to script comics. He has written numerous graphic novels for French readers, including the series Les Vieux Fourneaux (in English, The Old Geezers). With this series, Lupano and Paul Cauuet first developed the idea that would become The Wolf in Underpants.
