Unterwegs muss sie feststellen das die Menschen, Einhörner nicht mehr erkennen und sie wird von einer Hexe, der ein Wanderzirkus gehört gefangen genommen.

Unterstützt wird sie dabei vom Zauberer Schmendrick und der Räuberfrau Molly. Trotzdem der Vollständigkeit halber, die Handlung kurz zusammengefasst:Įin Einhorn erfährt das es das letzte ist, es macht sich auf die Suche nach seinen Artgenossen die von König Haggard und seinem roten Stier gefangen wurden. Und für mich gehört sie auch in die Weihnachtszeit. The colours are alive on the pages, every setting has its unique colour palette, the art itself is as fantastic as the story and very recognizable/distinct.Īs much as I love the story itself, I'm glad I found this version that is actually even prettier than the art of the movie.ĭie Geschichte kennt denke ich jeder, der Zeichentrickfilm von 1982 gehört zu jeder Kindheit. Instead, let me tell you how utterly gorgeous this graphic novel version is! Just to showcase: However, finally, it also meets a failed but kind wizard, a compassionate woman, an evil king and his idealistic son, as well as a true demon- and discovers what happened to the other unicorns.Īlthough I'm sure most people know this classic fantasy story, I will not say any more, just in case. It goes looking for them, thus encountering a number of people while wandering the country (usually they are of the bad type, full of greed, malice and intrigue). The story is that of the book / movie (it's a mix of both versions - yes they vary slightly): a unicorn lives in a lilac forest and finds out that there are no others like it anymore.

I've decided to do a re-read (of the English original this time) with my group this month and when looking for a nice paperback edition, I found this graphic novel. A few years later, I read the book (though in the German translation). Ever since I was a child I was a fan of the story of the last unicorn and regularly watched the movie.
