18 ans en BD ! #[nn]

From the creative team of Goupil and Pasini, 18 ans en BD ! captures the bittersweet comedy of turning eighteen with cheerful, expressive cartooning. The cover says it all: a decidedly unimpressed teen stands center stage, flanked by two grinning adults — one smugly pleased, one gleefully excited — as he holds what appears to be a tiny toy car, presumably his big birthday "gift." Published by Vents d'Ouest in 2019, this French BD delivers a relatable, warmly humorous look at the gap between what young adults hope for and what the grown-ups in their lives actually deliver.
