Achille Talon #17
This seventeenth volume in the classic French series collects the adventures of the pompous and verbose Achille Talon as he ascends to a dubious throne in 'Le Roi des Zôtres.' Alongside his long-suffering neighbor Hilarion Lefuneste and his ever-present parents, Maman and Papa Talon, the story delivers the series' trademark blend of absurdist humor and linguistic play. Published by Dargaud, this album continues the satirical tradition of Greg's beloved creation.
In "Le roi des Zôtres," Achille Talon is unexpectedly named heir to the throne of the quirky, chaotic Zôtrland—a small, pseudo-Allemanic nation rife with conflicting personalities and loud political maneuvering. With the crown looming and intrigue thick in the air, Greg's sharp storytelling and distinctive art bring the absurdity and tension of a royal succession to life in this 1977 Dargaud classic, all rendered in his signature style, both on the interior and the cover by Greg.
