Alambic Dieudonné Corydon Talon

A delightfully named supporting player in the beloved Achille Talon universe, Alambic Dieudonné Corydon Talon made his debut in 1976 — deep in the Bronze Age — under the pen of the great Greg at Dargaud, the storied French-Belgian publisher behind so many comics classics. With a name as ornate and comic as anything in the series, he inhabits a world shared with Achille Talon himself, the irrepressible Hilarion Lefuneste, and the rest of that wonderfully absurd cast. Though his catalog appearances are few, any character woven into Greg's richly wordy, warmly satirical world is worth a smile — and Achille Talon fans with a completionist streak will want to track down every panel he graces.
