Agent 212 #18

The beloved Belgian humor series returns with Gebraden Kip ("Roasted Chicken"), the eighteenth album in Dupuis' long-running Agent 212 line. Daniel Kox's cover art sets the comic tone perfectly: our stout, imperious policeman looms over a sheepish young boy beside a small campfire, while a dramatic wall of orange flame billows through the forest behind them — someone's little cookout has clearly gotten rather out of hand. With scenario by Raoul Cauvin, this 1996 entry promises the warmhearted slapstick the series does so well.
