Dutilleul lives a quiet life, spending his days in the office and evenings reading the newspaper. Until one night, when the power goes out. When the lights come back on, he finds himself in a strange situation--he's standing in the hallway, locked out of his apartment. After a few tentative experiments, Dutilleul discovers he's developed the ability to walk through walls. Perplexed by his newfound talent, he visits the doctor, who prescribes a cure. Unfortunately, Dutilleul doesn't quite follow the directions and before long, he's in over his head.
In this graphic adaptation of Marcel Aymé's 1943 short story "Le passe muraille," Obom has produced a gentle, absurd story about a man who gains sudden, unexpected power and the trouble that follows. (From Conundrum Press)
