Voltaire´s Candide
What if the story of a classic enlightment novel "Candide" written by Voltaire in 1759 would take place in the States somewhen around 1980? The illustrations and design of this black-humored, morbid and kinky philosophical parody are telling its own story, inspired by trash, boldness and B-movies of the 80ies.
