Achille Talon #[13]
This thirteenth volume of the classic French comic series collects more misadventures of the pompous and long-winded Achille Talon, as he bumbles through daily life with his perpetually exasperated neighbor Hilarion Lefuneste and his eccentric father, Papa Talon. Published by Dargaud, this collection continues the satirical humor and wordplay that defined the series from its 1970s origins.
In this 1976 installment of Achille Talon, the titular character lounges contentedly atop a large bomb, cotton in his ears and a smug grin on his face—while Lefuneste quietly lights the fuse, watched in horror by Papa Talon. A masterclass in tense comedy, the issue delivers a perfectly timed, nail-biting moment drawn with Greg’s signature sharp lines and expressive detail, both in the interior and on the cover, where Greg’s distinct style shines from pencil to ink.

Du coton dans les oreilles et l'air satisfait, Achille Talon est douillettement assis sur une grosse bombe, dont la mèche est allumée discrètement par la main gantée de Lefuneste, sous le regard effaré de papa Talon.
