Drâak #1

The cover of Drâak #1 sets the tone perfectly: a stout, fearless Viking brandishes a massive rock straight at the gaping jaws of an enormous green dragon, and judging by his grin, he's more annoyed than afraid — exactly what the subtitle Même pas peur! ("Not even scared!") promises. From Glaz, Schmitt, and Benaut, this opening volume from Editions Jungle looks like a hugely fun all-ages adventure with a sharp sense of comedy baked right in. If you're in the mood for a 2015 Franco-Belgian romp with big laughs and even bigger monsters, this one's an easy pick.
