'The Valley of the Fox' is a web comic that tells of the summer vacation of two brothers, Liam (11 years old)
and Céline (16), in a remote Alpine region where an ancient and dark story lies; the inhabitants of Hölledorf are threatened by the presence of a ferocious creature.
Follow the white rabbit (or fox, in this case) and discover the mystery behind the Fox Valley.
The adventure is inspired by the author's personal memories and the history of the Calanca Valley and the Moesano region, along with the folkloric legends of Central Northern Europe.
I try to publish new chapter every two weeks, but that can vary.
The comic is completely accessible and ad-free to read

As De André sang:
But a bit original news
It doesn't need any newspaper.
Like an arrow from a bow shoots
Fly fast from mouth to mouth
Hölledorf and its valley are inspired by real places, mainly Val Calanca (GR-CH), which has a fascinating history; its traces of human civilization date back to the Bronze Age.
A more recognized note is that it was one of the last regions in Europe to have perpetuated the witch hunt, practiced until the end of 1800's.
Val Calanca is a narrow valley with a particular geological formation. Its steep walls have made the relationship between nature and its inhabitants difficult: landslides and floods are a frequent phenomena.
Finally, the place has a special place in my heart, which has made it the ideal setting to tell the story and the themes present in the comic, such as growth, friendship, emancipation and the relationship between man and nature.
