C.R.S = Détresse #8

The eighth album in Achde's beloved French comedy series finds the bumbling CRS officer front and center, grinning with misplaced confidence as a menacing crowd of punks and bikers — chains, mohawks, and a "Born to Destroy" sign in tow — looms behind him. It's a wonderfully absurd image that captures the series' signature charm: one hapless cop versus a world that refuses to cooperate. Published by Dargaud in 2000, Coups, Coups C'est Nous! delivers exactly the kind of chaotic, good-humored mayhem fans of the series have come to love.
