Gargantua e Pantagruel

Gargantua e Pantagruel is a 1979 Italian comic book by Dino Battaglia. It is based on Gargantua and Pantagruel, two French Renaissance novels by François Rabelais. It was first published in the Catholic comics magazine Il Giornalino.
Battaglia was already known for adapting literary classics into comics before he made Gargantua e Pantagruel. He wrote and drew the comic, and his wife was the colourist.
In 2014, called Gargantua e Pantagruel "a rich, complex and splendid work". When it was republished in Italian by Edizioni NPE in 2021, Lo Spazio Bianco wrote that Battaglia made Gargantua e Pantagruel at the peak of his ability and picked the most dynamic parts of the original novels, which mock ideologies and the stupidity of the masses, resulting in a colourful work full of joy.
