Zombillenium (Demon Transformation)

Zombillenium is a "bande dessinée" from France. Volume One has recently been translated into English, but for this update I had to use scans from a Spanish translation.
The Zombillenium is a themepark for supernatural creatures. Into this stumbles a normal human, Aurélien, who gets bitten by a vampire and a werewolf, and starts to change...but into what?.
One thing I should note--the pages used here are collages of different panels edited together by yours truly. So if they seem disjointed, don't blame the artist!

Anyway, we first see our hero gradually start to transform, with growing hair, ears, and fangs. I confess, I threw in the last half of this page just for beefcake...


Aurélien gets a lowly job at Zombillenium, but the irritation from a yappy dog causes his monster self to emerge...


Yup, it's a demon. Following are several unrelated scenes of Aurélien showing his demonic side.


Eventually we see his full-grown devilish form, and it's a beauty. As the last panel demonstrates, the French are more casual about nudity than us uptight Americans.

That's all, alas. The second volume doesn't have anything worth excerpting here and I'm not aware of a third.
