“Viva Papa !”

About this Collection

This fifth volume in the Pocket reprint series of Achille Talon collects classic adventures of the pompous, verbose everyman and his long-suffering family, including his father Papa Talon, mother Maman Talon, and the ever-present neighbor Hilarion Lefuneste. The title 'Viva papa!' suggests a focus on the patriarch's antics, with the usual blend of slapstick, wordplay, and satirical humor that defines Greg's iconic series.

In "Viva Papa!", Achille Talon is called into action when his parents’ vacation flight is hijacked by separatist terrorists from the fictional state of Tapasambal. Tasked with negotiating their release by the minister, Talon is joined by his reluctant assistant Lefuneste—appointed at the request of the PC representative—making for a tense and unexpectedly complicated mission. Written and illustrated by Greg, with full art by Greg on both interior and cover, this 1990 Pocket issue delivers a sharp, character-driven adventure grounded in political intrigue and the absurdity of bureaucracy.
