Ballon - L'enlèvement de Meynaldo #[nn]

The cover of this French graphic novel sets up its premise with playful wit: towering footballer's legs in a dark blue kit dominate the foreground, while below — dwarfed between those cleats — two friends lounge on a sofa, a football at their feet and an "Olympique de Paris" poster of the star player Meynaldo pinned on the wall behind them. Created by Courty, Deveney, and Combet, *Ballon – L'enlèvement de Meynaldo* promises a fun, football-obsessed adventure from Albin Michel that looks as charming as it does clever. Fans of the beautiful game and Franco-Belgian comics alike will find plenty to love in this 2022 release.
