Boule à zéro #2

The second volume of Boule à Zéro sets the tone perfectly with its cover: a massive, wide-jawed crocodile filling a hospital corridor while two wide-eyed characters peer anxiously around a doorframe. Subtitled Le Gang des Crocodiles, this 2015 entry from the team of Ernst and Zidrou promises the kind of cheerful absurdity that makes French all-ages comics so much fun. Published by Mille bulles de l'école des loisirs, it's a charming pick for anyone who enjoys humor with just a hint of teeth — literally.
