C
: The question of death haunts me since my childhood. As a child I was taken to a Russian cemetery in Nice, where I saw a grave of a child. I checked and I figured that, like vampires spoke of adults, children were also vampires. So, I invented this character. He was a charity, which came to me the duties as
Smurfs also entered my room.
in your albums, you explain that Great Vampir and Vampir are the same person. Joann Sfar
: One of my main sources of inspiration is Leiji Matsumoto, the author of Albator . Universe createdMPRI
. However, Vampir is really autobiographical. The only difference between Michael, the protagonist, and I is that I had a dad, while he did not. Moreover, Miguel's grandparents are mine, your house is my grandparents, the phantasmagoria of Miguel are my child. Yes, it's really me who drew child.
Your characters spend their time trying to seduce women. Joann Sfar
: Actually, they do nothing, like Fernán (
Great Vampir ). Poverty is absolute, because nothing ever happens. Fernán leaguelink, is not something that makes you happy. As a vampire walks by the house, without really knowing why. The first four titles Great Vampir really form a whole, because it recounts this journey without a goal, but after the fifth volume do otherwise. Fernán always throw women as a clumsy. I like Great Vampir , because it is a story about teens and not treinteañeros flirts. For me it represents life as an adult he imagined when I was fourteen or fifteen years. In this age are you planning to go out with a girl is for life. I found my baby at fifteen years old and was for a lifetime. I am delighted, but I remember that time comor the possibility of becoming a seducer.
IN FILM AND ANIMATION
What is the balance of your experience in animation, the series of drawings for Vampir France 3 ? Joann Sfar
: It was great! There was a small team, everyone had fun and am not ashamed of the result. At first, I was recalcitrant, because every time you encourage a cartoon character, the result disappoints. In fact, the only way to reach the same level as the comic, is to ask the author to continue with their work. If you are looking for a mercenary to ask him to adapt aXC
have a much more fun.
One surprising thing at the end of your albums: the systematic listing of the title of this story. Joann Sfar : Sometimes a title listing is not good! But that motivates. I like to say: "Here's the theme of the next book, you deal with this." It is a challenge. It is also a reference to James Bond at the end of the credits, it always appears the famous "James Bond will come back in ...", with the title of the upcoming movie. JUDAISM
; Your comics are steeped in Judaism ... Joann Sfar : Yes, hits me, is overwhelming. Also, I always talk about that, it's like my five kilos. Well, seven. Finally, eight and over. Obviously, every two minutes something reminds me that I'm Jewish. Are any of your albums, the latest educational tool? Joann Sfar:
I hope not. I just like to make known this religion, to avoid the eternal topics. When people hear the word Jew, imaginedan immediately Zionism and Sharon. Socorro: We have a right to exist! I was in Israel twice in my life. Not my fault if Ariel Sharon is a bad guy. Most Israelis are trying to live normally and go crazy with pumps. They have no political project that any French. The Israelis have no vocation to oppress the Arab populations. I'm already sick of me called to account by the gestures of the Israeli government. I am not Israeli, nor am Jewish and I did it on purpose. As a Frenchman, I can feel guilty about the election of Chirac, because he voted for the second time. But I'm not Israeli voter.
political office
Cin common. Provide an opportunity for those outside, is to allow emancipated in a public space without religious symbols. If they had put the kippa to go to school, now would not be the same man, would be less at ease with me. Have respect for people who come from Maghreb and living on French soil, to protect it from predators bearded, who want to use their faith with political goals. Religion is for home and away you go. Well, I'm desperate, but I'm a human! I have the same vision of the world tragicomic René Goscinny, Le petit Nicolas in . Life is frustrating, but what do we do? Chocolate drink, have fun and try to curb the excesses. I am not nihilistic. I do not believe in Revelation, but biennialI believe that is the official website of author
