POLAND - A comic about Chopin escapes pestle

The case caused an uproar in the Polish press, particularly in the daily Polityka. Dissatisfied - for some considered vulgar expressions - the comic Chopin performed by a variety of designers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which commissioned the work, was initially announced the destruction of the album, which was designed to to promote Poland to the German youth.

Frederic Chopin is an icon of mass culture, responded designers, authors of variations inspired by the great composer. Krzysztof Ostrowski, one of the writers - and incidentally leader of the rock group Cool Kids of Death - says that "Chopin was to be an excuse to tell a story. Me, I'm inspired by Chopin Year ...

[celebrating the bicentenary of the birth of the musician, in 2010]. " In the comics, seen as a Chopin piano playing on a steam component with poet Adam Mickiewicz, "a work fully completed", represented by blind beggar playing the accordion in the street or occurring in a prison. After a wave of protests, the department finally announced that albums already printed New Romantic Chopin would not be pulped.

The editor has been asked to erase the emblem of the Republic of Poland which appears on the boards and delete any reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The broadcast will be limited to Poland alone. Click on image to download the comic boards
