Champignac #2

The second volume in Dupuis's Champignac series, Le Patient A, presents a wonderfully caricatured cast on its cover: a determined young woman in a trench coat, a large mustachioed gentleman dominating the composition, and two sharper-featured figures lurking behind him, all set against a wintry chalet backdrop with a vintage automobile half-buried in the snow. Creators Etien and Beka bring an irresistible blend of mystery and comic flair to Jérôme Hégeesippe Adélard Ladislas, Comte de Champignac, making this 2021 adventure feel like classic continental intrigue rendered with real wit and charm.
