  • Garulfo est une série de bande dessinée de fantasy mythique française en six tomes publiés entre 1995 et 2002, créée par le scénariste Alain Ayroles, le dessinateur Bruno Maïorana et le coloriste Thierry Leprévost. Garulfo est un conte moderne qui pastiche les éléments de plusieurs contes célèbres. Garulfo est une grenouille qui souhaite devenir un Homme car il admire ces bipèdes au sommet de la chaîne alimentaire et leurs inventions. Avec l'aide d'une sorcière, il parvient à se transformer en prince par le baiser d'une servante. Se faisant involontairement une place dans la vie de château, Garulfo s'aperçoit vite du penchant des Hommes à tourmenter leur prochain. La série envoie clairement un message écologiste et humaniste où des animaux innocents parviennent à rétablir une certaine idée de justice au sein du royaume des Hommes. (fr)
