A pleines mains #[nn]

This vibrant Dargaud release from Cadène, Safieddine, and Thyss bursts off the page with a candy-pink palette and irresistible energy. The cover centers on a powerfully built heroine in gleaming golden armor, her wild orange hair blazing outward as she clutches two cartoon ponies in her fists — while a small child, seen from behind, gazes up at her in clear wonder, surrounded by scattered toys, a boombox, and posters. It's a delightfully surreal collision of superhero spectacle and childhood imagination that makes À Pleines Mains one of the most visually joyful French-language comics of 2022.
