Achille Talon #15

A cheerful giant gorilla dominates this 1989 Pocket B.D. edition of *Achille Talon et le Quadrumane Optimiste*, grinning contentedly while a cast of bemused human characters — including our round-bellied hero Achille Talon himself — cluster around the amiable beast on a city street scattered with scattered odds and ends. Greg's cover art captures the warm, absurdist humor that has made this long-running Franco-Belgian series such a delight, balancing broad physical comedy with an endearing lightness of touch. A fine pocket-sized companion for fans of clever, good-natured bande dessinée.
