Why was the strange Mr. Zolock so interested in comic strips?

Why did the strange Mr. Zolock entrust the artless detective Dieudonné with such an important investigation into the world of comics? It’s that behind his singular exterior, Zolock shares with a few monsters in world history the same desire to conquer the universe. And his “nuclear” weapon is the comic strip. It all starts when Dieudonné, back from his encounters with the most renowned cartoonists, reports to Mr. Zolock. A very original docudrama from director Yves Simoneau.
