Défense d'entrer ! #1

A young boy with a paintbrush in hand takes center stage on this lively French-language graphic novel from Kennes, caught mid-stroke as he paints a bold teal skull-and-crossbones on a dark surface — the perfect emblem for a clubhouse with serious "no entry" vibes. The title Défense d'entrer ! — Réservé aux gars sets up a story full of kid-sized territorial drama, and the cover's energetic style from Héroux, Morival, and Guarino gives it an immediately playful, mischievous charm. Already adapted into a TV series by 2019, this first volume promises the kind of fun that resonates well beyond the page.
