Pinocchia

In a darkly whimsical German one-shot from 1996, Carlsen Comics reimagines the classic puppet as a living woman—Pinocchia, a creation of wood and magic navigating a world of desire and consequence. Written by Francis Leroi and Harald Sachse, with evocative art by Jean-Pierre Gibrat, this single issue stands as a singular, mature fable that twists a beloved tale into something haunting and sensual.
