Zerocalcare original animated series "Tear Along The Dotted Line" debuts on Netflix WORLDWIDE November 17th!
When the last vestiges of his childhood are taken from him, Zerocalcare discovers unsuspected se-crets about his family. Torn between the soothing numbness of the innocence of youth and the im-possibility to elude society's ever expanding control over people's lives, he'll have to understand where he really comes from, before he understands where he is going.
A story that was shortlisted for Italy's prestigious Strega literary award, an honor that was bestowed on a graphic novel only twice in the award's history. This is the book that has broken down the barrier between "real book" readers and graphic novel enthusiasts in Europe, having sold over 150,000 copies so far.
"When the last vestiges of his childhood are taken from him, Zerocalcare discovers unsuspected secrets about his family.

"Fantastical. Hilarious. Neurotic. Pop-cultural. A truly unique look at family history and relationships, as well as one's inner self, as the author attempts to come to terms with the death of his grandmother. And yes, that's right - even given those circumstances, it is indeed hilarious, and irreverently so much of the time. But at no point do you feel anything less than love from Italian comics phenomenon Zerocalcare. It's just that there's now so many feelings to both block and sift through." - The Comics Journal
