What is time? Which television viewer does not remember Udo Jürgens' theme music for "Once Upon a Time... Man"? Generations of children and teenagers have grown up with the animated films of Albert Barillé, the intellectual father of edutainment, and vividly remember the heroes of the series: the wise narrator Maestro, the heroic Adam, the brave Eva, the strong Jumbo, and of course Memory, the helpful clock. Splitter brings the successful series back as a comic! Join the heroes of "Once Upon a Time..." on their journey through the history of mankind, from prehistoric times to the present day. The proven mix of informative framing narrative and humorous episodes from the lives of the characters is, of course, preserved and lovingly complemented with illustrations by Jean Barbaud, the creator of the cartoon characters, as well as additional drawings.
