Bollie & Billie #39

The beloved duo of Bollie & Billie is back for their 39th album, Koning Deugniet ("King Rascal"), brought to you by Cazenove & Bastide following in Roba's footsteps. The cover sets a wonderfully playful medieval tone: Billie dashes forward in a feathered musketeer hat while a second small figure follows behind, and an enthusiastic Bollie tumbles along clutching a sword in his mouth — with a golden bejeweled crown tumbling through the air nearby and a proper stone castle flying its red pennant in the background. It's the kind of sun-drenched, laugh-out-loud scene that has made this series a warm favorite for readers of all ages.
