Porco Rosso

In this early 1990s French comic adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki’s beloved film, Glénat brings the story of a cursed World War I flying ace turned pig-headed bounty hunter to the page. The four-issue series captures the Adriatic Sea’s aerial dogfights and the melancholy romance of a man who chose to become a pig rather than a fascist. While the film’s creator is famously associated with the property, this comic edition stands as a faithful translation of the original animated feature into a sequential art format, preserving its unique blend of adventure, nostalgia, and anti-war sentiment.
