Hot on the heels of a successful inauguration last June, the Malta Postal Museum has launched an exciting time-traveling comic book based on the adventures of its mascot Peppi Pustier.

Peppi Pustier: Lost in Time is an 80s-inspired time-travelling adventure and tells the tale of a hard-working postman who is suddenly teleported to different time periods to deliver a number of important letters. Reminiscent of the movie Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, this craftily and subtly written tale is set in Malta and highlights key events of our history in a colourful and innovative way.

“Children will surely be moved by our intrepid postman who despite huge odds manages to deliver letters to people the likes of Mikiel Anton Vassalli, wounded soldiers and prisoners of war over a 400-year period,” the museum’s curator Lara Bugeja said.

The artist behind the comic is Fabio Agius, a staff member of the Malta Postal Museum, local comic artist and leading organiser of Malta Comic Con.

The comic will be launched during Malta Comic Con at the MFCC, Ta’ Qali during the first weekend of December. Comic Con will be open today between 11am and 7pm. The comic can also be purchased from the Malta Postal Museum at 135, Archbishop Street, Valletta. For more information, visit www.maltapostalmuseum.com.
