Alex et Eurêka #[nn]

From Pierre Brochard and Guy Hempay, this 1997 Les Éditions du Triomphe album delivers "Opération Furet" — and the cover sets a wonderfully chaotic tone, showing a winding hillside path where a large, colorful mob of pursuers bears down on two figures sprinting for their lives in the foreground. The contrast between the panicked duo and the sprawling, almost carnival-like crowd tumbling behind them promises plenty of the energetic humor and adventure the series is known for. A fine addition to any Franco-Belgian comics shelf.
