About the Author:
From Booklist:
Peyo created The Smurfs in his comic strip "Johan and Peewit." Peyo wrote and drew several extremely popular comic series in Europe throughout his storied career. In 2008 the country of Belgium celebrated the 50th Anniversary of The Smurfs by issuing a 5 Euro coin featuring his beloved creation.
Willy Maltaite, also known as Will, was a French comics creator and artist who created the backgrounds and scenery for Benny Breakiron. He is a founding member of the Marcinelle school, and one of the most respected French comics artists of his generation. Over a long association with the comics magazine "Le Joyrnal de Spirou" that began in 1947, Will created, illustrated, and wrote several series, including "Tif et Tondu" and "Isabelle". From 1958-1960, he was the artistic director of "Tintin." He died in February 2000, having spent over 50 years in comics.
Benny Breakiron, strong enough to pull apart speeding cars, which he is also fast enough to catch, was introduced to European readers in 1962. Luckily, his big personality and ah-shucks heroism haven’t gone stale, and his cartoony body and ensemble company have crossed the decades with slapstick humor intact. In this first episode to arrive in the U.S., Benny’s cabbie friend, old man Dussiflard, is victimized by a gang of state-of-the-art taxicabs and drivers who are part of a gangster’s plan to rob the town. Eight-year-old Benny may be strong and brilliant, but he’s still just a kid, and the police are not willing to listen to his discovery, so Benny has to use his physical and intellectual gifts to rescue his friend and the town himself. Peyo, who gave the world The Smurfs, created a different sort of character and world with Benny, but it is just as colorful and just as full of delightful physicality and dialogue. Adults may find themselves sneaking into their kids’ bookshelves to get at this one. Grades 4-7. --Francisca Goldsmith
