B-P's adventures come to life in this 72 page comic book.
Baden-Powell comic book launched
The Italian Scout Association CNGEI, in collaboration with the publishing house Lizard of Rome, has published a comic book based on the life of Robert Baden Powell, the founder of Scouting. The series, titled "Impeesa", has been realised by Ivo Milazzo, one of the greatest comic strip authors of the world (he created the western character Ken Parker). And the storyboard has been written by Paolo Fizzarotti, the editor of the CNGEI magazine "Adulti nello Scautismo" and "Scautismo".
"Impeesa" is not just a biography of Baden-Powell transferred into comics, but an adventures book in which some of the outstanding episodes of B-P's life, before he founded Scouting one hundred years ago, are narrated. CNGEI has intentionally released it in line with the celebration of the centenary of Scouting and the 150th anniversary of B-P's birth.
The international dimension of Scouting has enabled the book to be published already in four languages: Italian, English, French and Spanish and should there be enough requests, the publisher will also translate the book into other languages.
The series will be sold all over the world through Scout stores, bookshops and on the Internet.
