De complete Sophie #5

Volume 4 of De Complete Sophie — subtitled "Dino's en Douaniers" — brings another charming collection of Jidéhem and Vicq's beloved Belgian series, published by Arboris. The sunny yellow cover sets the tone perfectly: a delighted Sophie in her signature checked dress reaches out toward a colorful parrot perched on a stand, little hearts floating between them in a moment of instant, mutual affection. It's the kind of warm, playful energy that has made Sophie such an enduring fixture of Franco-Belgian comics.
