Achille Talon #3

Volume 3 of this charming French comedy series finds the big-nosed, perpetually self-important Achille Talon riding gleefully in a shopping cart, decked out in a polka-dotted shirt and blue blazer, while his lanky neighbor Lefuneste pushes him along with a mischievous grin. The cover's lush green backdrop, filled with a crowd of delightful character vignettes, perfectly captures the cheerful chaos that defines these "impetuous tribulations" — brought to life in 2017 by Fabcaro and Serge Carrère, working from Greg's beloved creation. If you've ever wanted a comic that celebrates the absurdity of everyday life with warmth and wit, Achille Talon est proche du peuple delivers exactly that.
