Animal Lecteur #7

From Sergio Salma and Libon, this seventh volume of Animal Lecteur — subtitled On Ferme ! — captures the comedy of comic-shop obsession with a perfectly timed cover gag: a red-jacketed customer presses desperately against the glass door of a bookshop as a wild-eyed, blue-spectacled shopkeeper pushes back from the other side, clearly determined to close up. The shop window is stacked with albums and figurines, a love letter to Franco-Belgian comics culture rendered in Libon's expressive, rubbery style. It's a warm and knowing slice of bibliophile humor that Dupuis fans will immediately recognize as their own.
