	Five years after the magnificent Pinocchio (Konckabout, 2011), Winshluss returns with the hilarious In God We Trust.
	His multi-levelled retelling of The Bible revises the founding myths of the holy book. We are guided through the maze of the Old and New Testament by St. Franky, with a nose like a straw-berry from drinking altar wine and a sceptical atti-tude. With him, we visit the scenes of Scripture and believe it or not, this is not what we thought!
	A true spiritual journey, In God We Trust is an absurd epic with a startling range of drawing styles on display. Following the adventures of God, baby Jesus, Mary, plus all the favourites – from original sin, the crossing of the Red Sea, the last judgement, and the greatest religious love affair… including some surprise guest appearances from a muscle-bound Conan and Gotham city’s own protector.
	About the author: Winshluss (Vincent Paronnaud) is the successful author of Pinocchio (2011), which won the Fauve d’Or prize in Angouleme (2009). He also works as an award-winning director in France with such films as Persepolis (2007 Cannes Jury Prize) and Chicken with Plums. Absurd and provocative, this rereading of well known biblical characters is a huge lot of fun.
